Fzs1000 hydraulic clutch

[RMT1983]

So.......... 2002 fzs1000, I'm going hydraulic on the clutch and need to know how much the clutch arm moves in order for the clutch to work correctly? Does anyone know? Thanks in advance!!!

[ram]

doesn't the arm move the same distance as the clutch lever? (assuming it pulls at 90 deg)
but doesn't a hydraulic one push the rod in rather than pull the arm?

Right ok................................


So I've ordered all the parts, All will be delivered this week and hopefully the swap goes well!!!


Ill update with some photos over the weekend.........................

Apart from the cost of replacement cables and the minimal time taken to adjust the cable, what are the advantages?

Smoother lighter clutch action normally. Cables are cheaper/less complicated to make and replace than a hydraulic system.


It will be interesting to see how he does it, i.e. what parts are used and how they fit. Master cylinder and slave cylinder/actuator sizes will be the hardest bit to get right. Its not as if the early R1's had hydraulic clutches.

Except on Yamahas I think, my FJ1200 had a hydraulic clutch and the action was still pretty much the usual on/ off switch you get on almost every Yam.
The fudge's clutch actuator was also flawed in design, the rubber protector boot around the cylinder piston would pop off it's flange and act like a muck collector bathing the piston in crap so that the seal failed, almost annually it seemed, then the fluid would leak and crack the bellypan, disaster. A great bike but would've been better off with a nice cable clutch.
Am interested to see how the hydraulic conversion works on the Fazer though, just don't use fudge cylinders!

Gone for a 2010 FJR1300 master cylinder and Venhill slave cylinder, heavy duty ebc springs as it shouldn't make a different on the lever with the hydraulic system and a hel braided line to match the brake lines..........
