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.

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!
