clutch ????

hi all
all you lot with hydrulic clutch,
what have you used?
i have a zx9r b
and tried loads of ways, next thing is to have the bike clutch master in the car

the use of the clutch is not too much of a prob as i have a flat shift and push button change,
just need some sort of clutch for trafic etc

any options would be great
cheers paul

I fitted the original bike lever, reservoir and master cylinder in the engine bay. Then ran a cable to the pedal. SVA passed at Newcastle and action is smooth and easy to use, not a switch like some. Can post a photo if you like?

Which flat shifter are you using? Is on my list of mods for the summer.

I was pondering using the rear brake pedal off the bike as a clutch pedal.

Anyone done this?

mhh

What i had was also some crap with the hydroclutch

it was a pain in the ar*** to get the air out.

I also tried with a rearbrake cilinder (2 types) and 1 master wich on the begining didn´t work to.

Then i managed to get all the air out and the feeling / pressure rised.

When i now use the clutch i can see in the hoses a small amount of expansion...

Sow i think its just a question of deair...the system until the last bloudy bublle...

Tks

Can you get the slave cylinder higher than the master? We had a trail bike front brake that wouldn't bleed till the caliper was raised way up for the bubbles to rise on their own.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

told you it was the bleeding!!

In my case i just played an bit with the Hydro hose and instead of moving the puller in the pull direction, i discovered that i saw bubles coming in the resvoir when pulling it away a bit for lets say 20 times..(it has a bit of play in that direction)

until 2 small bubles came out and in no time i had pressure..strange feeling eeehhh..

if you pull you feel the liquid doing its job..

Hi there

I've got a ZX9R B type as well.

I initially tested a landrover master cylinder but the cylinder was too large.

I have usde the master cylinder off the bike, taken the lever off and used a connecting rod from the master cylinder to the pedal and welded up a bracket to hold the bike cylinder on to the bulkhead, can take some pics if you like?

Cheers

Ian
