What a difference an eighth makes
stevec - 7/12/06 at 06:21 PM

I used a Willwood Master cylinder on my clutch for my Kawasaki 1000 engine it was heavey and a bit like a switch.Bought another one with change in bore size of just 1/8 inch and now it has a light feel and a sensible stroke.
Size does matter

I would always recommend using the bike clutch master rather than a car one.

5/8ths works a treat.

Did you go up 1/8" in size or down I think would be relevant information We used a Girling clutch master from a Triumph Toledo, new old stock dirt cheap, on a GSXR1100 and it worked perfectly.

I went down from .75 inch. Really makes a big difference.
Anyone want a cheap .75 Mcyl.?
