Hello, my first post here, excellent forum BTW.....

Although I already asked Taffy (and did business with in the past with great pleasure) for a quote on a new part, I'm interested if a 10,5 clutch cylinder (the thingie on the handlebar - excuse my english, its not my native) would fit and do the job instead of an original 9,5 cylinder?

The new part is quite expensive and as I have an 10,5 on my KTM I would like to swap them....

Oh, yeah, the original part broke after a fall, it broke where the lever attaches to the cylinder.... :angry:

Thanks!

M.
 
I have read of people swapping for different sized cylinders with success.

You don't mention your location or bike model.

I happen to have a stock lever, cylinder and hose for my 570, sitting here not being used. I took it off because I have a Rekluse and LHRB and no room for a clutch lever/cylinder, nor did I really use it once I got the Rekluse so it has maybe 300 miles of use - I got the Rekluse early on.

One thing to note is that if you get a Rekluse, the clutch pull using the stock lever/cyl. is very light, so you could get away with a different (smaller) cylinder - indeed, I think you could get away with a 'finger' lever type setup.

Just a thought.
 
Sorry, It's an FE 550 2007 and I'm located in Zagreb, Croatia....

You can PM me if you would like to sell your master cylinder....I have no interest in a Recluse clutch, not my thing actually, I like it the good old fashioned way..... :mrgreen:

Croatia would probably be a bit of a hassle with customs and all that...
 
Actually no. When Taffy sent me some bearings it was here in 5-6 days no customs and all other shi.... :mrgreen:
 
What are your reasons for wanting to swap clutch master cylinders? Note that going from 9.5 to 10.5 will make the clutch lever harder to pull in.
