Worth the money? How easy is it to install? What about the easy-pull clutch levers

Ive had easy pulls, most of them are a joke, the good ones will cost you over a 100$ easy. The 30-40$ ones fall apart after a while. Also you have to consider the MAgura doesnt require you to buy a new cable every so often. I have a hydraulic clutch and i havent riden on it but it is well built and looks like it will last. ALso about the installing part, theres nothing to it.

My brother's KTM has a magura hydraulic clutch, very nice. As close to a cadillac as you can get with handlebars...

They are well worth the money. I put one on my wifes bike after she broke her wrist, she loves it. I can race here bike anduse one finger to pull the clutch all day long.:)

They are awesome. I would not take mine off. It was easy to install you just need to make sure you run the cable along the frame rail. so that it is not close to the exhaust...

I probly going to get in the next month. I heard nothing but good thinks about them. The only draw back I see is there are expensive and if you break them they arn';t cheap to replace.

I got mine for $179 and i had my mechanic put it on so my wife didn't know i bought it.:devil .... They are a must if you start to beef up the clutch. Not to mention you never have to adjust it.

I installed one and it worked great, but it doesn't work with a big gun full exhaust due to the head pipe bend, the cylinder hits the head pipe and melts the line even with some shielding.

you can buy stainless lines to fix that

i got mine yesterday and its SUPER easy. i just have to get it adjusted right. its on stands right now so i really couldn't tell when the clutch was engaging. it just needs to be fine tuned.

i ran the line in front of the stock oil cooler and down the frame, its now where near my header

i dont have a digi, i used my firends when i took picks of my ride


run the cable through the top metal bracket, normally when sitting on the bike it would then stay left and go through the plastic tab that is part of the plastic tray that sits under tha gas tank. well instead run it righ in front of the oil cooler and down the frame rail on the right side of the oil tank and along the frame rail. it is plenty long so you have tons of room. i havent tied it doen yet and i am gonna get soem rubber grommets or sumpin two put between the line and the frame so it doesnt wear the line. and i also want to make sure it is protected from twigs and such as i love to runs things over:devil

plus there are barrels of rocks where i ride

I didn't have problems running the line down the side of the frame, the problem w/ the Big Gun full exhaust is that the header pipe is too low near where the clutch arm goes into the case causing the hydraulic cylinder the hit the pipe. Not sure if stainless will take care of it or not, but I'm going to get them anyway. Also looking for new exhaust to take care of it.

Could you bend the clutch arm so it wouldnt hit it?
