So now I have fueling / mapping etc sorted I see there is a plethora of after market clutch slave units claiming to give over 30% easier clutch pull using a larger piston.
Has anyone done this mod?
Which did you get?
Was it worth it?
Cheers

Oberon on one bike, Evoluzione rebuild kit with double o ring piston on the other. I really didn’t notice a whole lot of difference, but it is a little lighter pull.

Remember, you can't get something for nothing. The reduced clutch lever pull will come at the cost of a reduced travel of the clutch rod. As your clutch wears, the shorter throw may result in dragging clutch and difficulty finding neutral. Some folks have had luck removing a couple springs from the pressure plate. Easy enough to try (unless you have a wet clutch...you don't have your bike details in your signature line...in '05 or '06 they went from dry to wet).

After a lot of research what I did was to replace the original springs with ones of the same length same number of coils but smaller diameter.
That was the only combination that I found, to retain the rod travel and minimise the pull strength required.

Spring Force Constant Calculator is the site that I got the info to calculate the spring diameter.

Interesting, mine is an 04 with wet clutch. I was sold in getting after market slave but now I hear I wIll lose travel concerns me.......hmmmm what to do ?

A 2004 with a wet clutch? They didn't have the wet clutch until model year 2005. I suspect you have a m.y. 2005 that was built in 2004, hence the confusion.

And please put your bike in your signature line.

I'm not sure even Mark Knopfler can swing that deal anymore! Maybe Sting:smile2:
