Another query, (you have to love this site) I need to know the travel length that the clutch cable moves when lever is moved, ie: from rest to full actuation, or to put it another way, the movement of the rocker arm during this action at the point the nipple sits in..? Make sense..?? This is to gauge the spec of the hydraulic ram I will need for the conversion. I don't have the bike set up just in it's raw build stage....Spot on Old Bean....!!!! :2thumbup: I know what you say is true but im running GS1200 gear and want to go with the hydraulic clutch, sorry...!!! I'll sort it.....Lol, then it probably is, especially if you got it from a recognized seller. With the clutch, you should just leave it as a cable. It's more reliable. Custom parts are hard to get in the middle of nowhere. You can easily carry a spare cable as well.I just went out and measured it. Looks like about 3/4 of an inch of travel at the nipple end. Shouldn't be hard to determine the reduction factor with the transmission lever off the bike. That being said, the K bikes do not have much clutch travel in terms of actual friction zone. Most of the travel is already fully released or taking up free play (which is necessary with dry clutches, to prevent them from burning out). There is quite a bit of adjustment to correct for clutch wear too. So a hydraulic ram would not need much movement.
