There are lots of reviews of the Magura unit on this page. Not a single complaint about its function. A few complaints about the install and the plastic line melting on the exhaust but everyone raves about how great it works. If the Chinese unit works half as good for a tenth the price I think I'll be ahead.

Unless a Chinese guy steals my money.

I agree with the reviews; this would work great on a dirt bike.
Tragically this conversation is about triples and I agree with Jim, it could replace a cable and bypass some parasitic loss.
I don't see it offering any advantage other than using hydraluics instead fo a cable.

I have Ned's hydraulic clutch and it's silky smooth with 5 Barnett's in place.
It may not be for everyone by the time you buy the slave, master and the line though. For me it was worth it!
Btw, cable routing makes a huge difference so with a hydraulic line and a ball bearing actuator, you'd have a close 2nd IMO.

It's here. Looks OK, about like I'd expect from China I guess. Seems to work OK but I don't have a bike to mount it on and really test it.

Can anyone have a look and tell me how much cable travel there is down at the release on an H2? I'm getting about 9/16 travel on this thing.

Travel at the pin holding the cable clamp at the release is about 1/2 inch give or take a mm.

I'd be very interested to know the fluid output of that master cylinder. I built a hydraulic slave cylinder several years ago and installed it on my S2/H1 hybrid, but the V45 Magna master cylinder I used puts out way too much fluid so the clutch lever has a very short travel. It works, but it isn't very forgiving.

He is taking orders again.......
So come on, if 20 of the hyd actuators is ordered, a new batch will be made.

Please visit the Canadian board.

i have had done of those in a box for awhile (years).. wouldn't clear the carb on an h1.. and it leaked like crazy. just my .02

This one came from China with fluid in it and didn't leak anything. Hasn't leaked anything with me playing with it either...yet. It is China crap though so there's that.

Technically you are only seeing a net reduction in overall effort (to actuate the clutch) due to reduced loss from friction. Hard to escape the old "force x distance = work" whether it's hydraulic or cable. With the cable you can play with the effort as well, just takes some tinkering to find different lever and perch setup. The distance between the lever pivot and the bore where the end of the cable goes, affects this.
