hydraulic clutch for 99

Hi,

yes it is possible. Even at older engines it´s no problem, cos
the crankcase looks like the newer ones.

But: YOu have to dismantle your engine, give the right half
to a milling cutter, make some thread holes (M5) and mount the
lower clutch cylinder to your crankcase. Sounds easy, or not?
You should have some mechanical skills, to do it...
You also need another pushrod, or you can shorten the old one.

Please, send me an email and remind me, so I can take pictures of a dismantled 2001 engine,
it´s nearly the same outer appearance at this area.

greetings

Hi 44014,what is the reason that you want a hyd. clutch?...nsman

An option to the machining of cases is to contact Magura for one of their bolt on hydraulic clutch units. I believe that they have a bolt on unit that replaces the cable setup for about $200. The critical setup is dimension is the distance from the clutch arm to the cable "tab" on the case. Check it out at:

http://www.magura.com/magura_unternehme ... set_en.htm

The product is listed as "163/724 HYMEC - Hydraulic clutch system" and is described as:

"- Hydraulic clutch system to control a mechanical clutch: one piece alloy cylinder with reservoir, forged alloy blade, pressure point and blade reach adjustable, easy to fix with clamp, cylinder and blade pivot protected against foreign elements with rubber cap. Filled with MAGURA-BLOOD (mineral oil)."

Good luck,

Barry

I have purposely avoided this topic in the past as the required modifications are troublesome and quite time consuming. Unfortunately a simple bolt on is not available at this time.

For what it may be worth:
I have been using the Magura universal hydraulic clutch system on early Husaberg engines since 1999. Said system does require some modification, however, once complete has proven every bit as efficient as that of the OEM.

Modifications include:
Fabricate and install case lever adaptor
Fabricate and install slave cylinder pivot mount
fabricate and install longer, stronger slave cylinder shaft with appropriate fitting

hi 44014,first and foremost spending money on women and booze is not always a bad thing to do.I tried as many variations as I could think of for cable(clutch) routing because I was unhappy with the drag in the cable and also the way it always seemed to get pinched between the bottom steering yoke and the steering lock.I tried routing the cable behind the the handlebar(same idea as throttle cable) then down behind the right front rad mount(square hole),down accross the front of the rad and straight back to the clutch lever on the engine.Space the cable if need be from the exh pipes with a piece of fuel line(30 mm long)and a zip tie using the power lead to the starter motor as a support.On my 1999 fe400e the difference this made was amazing.I also used a new lubled cable.If yours is not routed this way now,just try it........nsman
