magura hydraulic clutch

[jayrdubu]

Has anybody used a Magura hydraulic clutch? I'm thinking of buying 1 for the Banshee first to see how well it works since I have more done to it than the Raptor at this point. What to do, what to do.

The streamline is the only setup I've heard really being used. here's a review TQS did on it:

I have the streamline clutch on my 700 and I'm pretty disappointed in it. It helps the clutch pull a little, but the reservior cover leaks like a seive and never holds oil. The oil leaks out the screws and side cover. The reservoir is also so small that it's really hard to bleed it without loosing the oil and sucking in more air.

They need to make some improvments to it before I would recommend others buying it. I have actually thought of going back to my stock clutch lever etc. Just my two cents.

can I ask what reason you went to a hydraulic style clutch?

Seems a bit unnecessary in my opinion. Stock clutch isn't that hard to pull as it is (at least I don't think so)

i hate that you can't feather the hydraulic style....

you can still feather them but it is a little harder, the range of lever movement from disengaged to engaged is rather short. A friend of mine put HD clutch springs in his YFZ and it was really hard to pull the clutch until he put a Magura on it.
