    GS550E Hydraulic Clutch

    Just wondering if anyone has concocted a hydraulic clutch system for the GS550? I am curious to see how they did it and look at the longevity of the system. Even my new clutch cable is pretty tight and I'm using old clutch springs.

    Have you lubbed the cable and routed it correctly? Is your clutch /mechanism operating correctly?

      Yup. Spent a lot of time dealing with stupid cable issues on every bike. I've built extended actuator levers in the past and they worked okay. I actually built my own hydro clutch and it works (and pulls easier) but I'm not sure about the longevity of such a system since it's a homebrew job and I've never owned a bike with one. I've pulled on another a hydraulic clutch on a cb1100 and its not quite "that" easy but its close.
