Magura, but I hear the new ones don't work as good as the old ones

Magura makes the hydraulic clutches on my KTMs... a damn good product!! They can be a little tricky/finicky at times, but once you've mastered the technique of bleeding the line and getting out the air pockets... you'll be lovin life! I wonder how much longer before the japs finally catch on to this wonderful innovation..

In regards to bleeding air pockets out of the line.. if you purchase this setup, a hand pump/vaccuum will be your best friend!

I would try and find out which company makes the GasGas hydraulic clutch. It's pull is way lighter than the KTM juice unit. I'm 1000km from my bike right now, otherwise I'd be able to see who makes the clutch on my bike or if it's an in house unit. You will never regret going to hydraulic, the pull never changes and neither does the engagment point. I ride tight woods and have to slip the clutch pretty much constantly and the light pull really helps reduce arm pump. Good luck!

Jeff Fredette suggests adding 1/2" of material to the activation arm. I had a local welder do it (out and off of the bike) - it now feels almost as smooth/easy as my Zook's.

Gas Gas uses Hebo clutches, supposed to be a better product than the Magura. Check with www.erider.ws .

He told me the same thing when I called once and I did the same mod, worked great!
