I got tired of changing OEM cables so often and went with a Magura kit, and I can say was one of the best upgrades I ever did.
+ Smooth and lighter lever actuation
+ No performance drop over time
+ No more need to adjust clutch
+ Works with mineral oil, so no risk of damaging paint as with DOT brake fluids.
- Significantly higher cost compared to OEM cable
- No pre made kit for FZS1000. We must choose and buy parts separately.
- Needs occasionally cleaning of the cap of the slave cylinder, but it's not messy.
- Limited adjustments. The choice of the master cylinder determines the actuation type on the lever.
I have converted both my last two bikes to Magura hydraulic. Absolutley the best mod to both that Ive done, bought the Fazer kit from a stall at Stafford show, negotiated a cash deal for that, bought the second one from Lois Moto in Germany for half the cost of the least expensive dealer in the uk. The Fazer one has been on for 9 years, absolutley trouble free.
