This doesn't sound easy to do? How did you do it? What did you use?

Not difficult at all. I bought a Magura kit from Venhill while I was at the Stafford bike show. Traders are willing to deal at shows and I got it at a really decent price. Everything to complete the job came with it, and it simply replaces the xisting, using the same fittings as for the stock clutch set up. Transformed the bike for me, I was struggling in traffic and on trackdays with constant gear changes impacting on my knucle joints and wrist, if I hadnt of swapped, Id have given up with the bike. No cables to adjust, lubricate, snap on me. Its a trade off as some would think them not cheap. You can get something simlar from China, but reviews and feedback appear to indicate the quality is a problem with them. You can see on the pic that the slave cylinder just locates into the existing bracket on the casing

This is on my FZ6 S2 Fazer. Youd have to check a kit is available for the older models

From what I can see MAGURA don't have a kit that specifically states it would fit an FZS600, they have one that just states it would fit the FZS1000.


For Venhill I can't find anything that says it could go on a FZS600, it's difficult to buy one when there are 4 or 5 different models yet they don't state what bikes they are suitable for.

The hydraulic system is cool but if you have standard Yamaha springs and a cable that's in good condition the clutch is pretty light. It shouldn't cause you any issues unless you have an injury in your hand. You could try pulling the clutch on another Fazer that has the standard clutch and see how it feels before you go to the expense of the hydraulic system
