Having used the hydraulic and the cable, I prefer the hydraulic :D

I did have a slave cylinder go bad at about 50 hours, it was $100. :ermm:

100% hydraulic, its smooth and easy to use, the ONLLLYY thing is you need to properly maintain it otherwise you could burn through your clutch :)

If you are filling every couple of rides, you have a problem. I have NEVER had to add fluid.

Yep, when I started having to add fluid I got a new slave cylinder. The KTM one leaks into the engine when it goes bad...

hmmmmm......ill have to look into that then. its not like its draining to the point where it NEEEDS to be filled if your following me. I am just a fluid nut and try and top everything off before i ride.

but it definitely does lower a little bit. Ill have to check for a leak.
