Hydraulic Clutch ..Pros and Cons......

[QuadJunkies]

I dotn know much about them, but was thinking on buying for the Predaotr along with a Dampener.. Any Pros or Cons to having them???? Pricing????

[K_Fulk]

Pros for the hydro clutch are a light consistant pull.
Cons you may have to bleed it if you take the line off or pull the lever in while it isnt hooked up, but isnt too bad if you have the bleeder kit.

[cdalejef]

All pro's on both of those! :cool:

[Jeffksf]

I love mine.
Pros: Never need adjusting,
no more cable lubing,
No more cable breaking when your 2 hrs. from your truck.

Cons: Price

Just keep the hyd. line away from your header and you shouldn't ever have to worry about needing to bleed it.

[QuadJunkies]

Any ideas on pricing??????

I got mine for 179
I forgot about it being self adjusting thats a big +.

Do a search on Ebay for "Magura clutch" there is a guy on there that sells them all the time. E-mail him and he can probably hook you up. I got mine for $187 shipped. Are you sure they make one for the Pred? You might want to contact Magura and ask them. I had to do that when I got mine for my Z.

I had to do that when I got mine for my Z. to tell you the truth, Im not really sure if they do or not, I emailed Daryl Rath, but he is slow getting back to his emails, so Ill just do some searching and maybe a Predator owner can give me some leads as well......:)

well my quad came with one stock, but ive used cable and thres no way im going back, as everyone else said, Magura is the way to go, they are flat out awesome

a dampner is also a great addition, iit helps almost illminate that real bad bump steer from all those ruts

[red]

are they worth the money?

[redrunner]

Do they make it for a 300 or because of the reverse you can't do it?
Or is there some type of conversion to pull off the reverse stuff?

[wyndzer]

I am a beiever in the hydro. clutch and will never own another quad without one.

[redrunner]

Jeff, does that make the system inoperable? I have seen that Chain set up that keeps it permanetly lock out but I am suspect of that. I really like my reverse instead of these old bones pulling the thing out.:D

[JDiablo]

so do they make one for a 300ex then,because when i put my quad back togheter i didnt put the reverse on it.How bout if a 400ex will fit on a 300>>>????:blah:

[coryatver]

My riding buddy got one for his raptor and he is already ditching it becuase its throw isn't long enough so it does not pull far enough. And it runs right by your headpipes. And how it is setup is pretty scary it doesn't look like it will be reliable.

[cdalejef]

You still have reverse, you just don't have to push the button. This way you can go with a CR style perch and lever too.

Must be missing something, I thought that the "button" pulls the reverse cable to disengage the gears so you can pull up on the reverse lever? Can you put it in reverse without pulling that cable? This would be great cause I would love to get rid of all the cables and stuff before buying new bars.

[cdalejef]

Yes, just take the cable off and ziptie the lever on the motor in the up position

[redrunner]

OK now I get it. So block off plate, then pull off the reverse crap and it will clean up those bars slick, Thanks
