im hard on the clutch, but it either works or it dosnt....if it dont the cable or the clutch is damaged.

I change my gear oil every ride......i remember using transmition fluid for many yrs in the 90's....never had an issue...any one else done this?

Can you post an installation thread that shows the installation steps from the conversion beginning so I can make sure this thing is going in correct? Also, have a leak @ the bottom of the slave where the rod moves in & out of the slave. Are these rebuildable or do I just need to get a new slave cylinder? Thnx Bob!

you get this leak when the seal is disturbed due to being pulled too far out or pushed too far in. you have to remove the cap and push the actuator in and pull it out a few times to reset the seal, this worked for mine.
the magura instructions explain this issue pretty well.

also been doin this for a while and forgot to mention it, JB weld a carb vent tube to the gold cap and route it up over the headstay andd back down, keeps dirt out and theres no air trapped above the piston
it makes a noticeable diffrence, with the 9mm, this, bearing lever, and moly paste lubed everything it is as easy as a brand new yz 250.... way better than stock, excellent feel and modulation too

Would be great if you could post a pic of this Mod as it sounds like a sweet idea but its hard to visualize what you are describing, thanks

I think i get what you are saying but would like to see it before i start drilling.

thank you

I fitted a "Clake One light" (Aussie manufacturer) brand hydraulic clutch master cylinder using a Magura slave cylinder on my '01.
More common to be used on KTM's
It's the first time in 10 years that the clutch actually fully disengages!
It's light one finger use all day long and parts are readily available in Aus.
Rates up there on the mod scale with the PWK and CR250 ignition.
