Magura Hydraulic Clutch

[pacwestroost]

Anybody use the magura hydraulic clutch with success or problems?

I have burned up 4 barnett dirt diggers clutches and have nothing left to blame it on except the hydraulic clutch.

I hate to lose the feel and pull of it though.

maybe its the indian not the arrow

It could probably be an adjustment problem, and it's slipping too much and burnign up. Or your riding the clutch too much or something. Idk just some ideas.

I rode a hydraulic clutch before and to me it feels the same as one of those expensive shorty levers. Get rid of the clutch and invest in the lever and see where that takes you.

I have one, no clutch burnup problems. Just make sure you line up those marks on the case. If you don't know what I mean then there's your problem.

I had one and it wouldn't disengage enough with stiffer clutch springs and it was with a dirt digger clutch kit...So I just but it back to reg clutch and sold hydraulic one on E-bay.. For the people that have them are you using stock springs ????

I personalt have never used one, but the guy who builds my motors does not like them, he says they return too slow. I have one of those "expensive shorty levers" and love it-no problems. It is made by RTC Racing products, if you are interested in information about it do a search this whole topic has been discussed before.

I have the same thing made by Moose and its the shorty and it feels just like the hydraulic levers to me

I've had mine for about 6 months now without any problems. I love mine, and i've never had problems with actual clutches burning up. But my clutch is completely stock, so I don't know if stiffer springs make any difference or not. Hope you find your problem.

I took off the hydraulic clutch and put on a new cable and lever.

went riding this weekend and burned up another clutch.

this clutch had stout springs way stiffer than barnetts I can barely pull the lever.

the clutch was made for up to 100 horses and i'm not making anywhere near that.

anyone ever warp a flywheel or inner clutch hub?

the clutches always start to slip and the tranny breather starts puking out fluid.

I wonder if the oil isn't flowing through the trans like it should and some of it is isolated in the clutch side and overheats ????

 

I run the blue redline shockproof oil and have been told that no one else has had a problem with it.

 

I'm getting a new basket, inner hub and pressure plate and give it another shot.

 

Thanks for the reply's I dont get online as often as i should....

keep us informed what was wrong with it

Get yourself a magnetic drain plug (TM Designworks has them) they are shorter and open the bypass hole in the bottom of the case, allowing the oil in the clutch side to circulate better. Have you adjusted the set screw in the center of the clutch? If it is too tight you'll smoke a clutch in a hurry.

WHEN YOU PUT THE NEW FIBER PLATES IN ARE YOU SOAKING THEM IN OIL FIRST ALSO RUB THEM LIGHTLY ON YOUR GARAGE FLOOR TO GET A LITTLE "SCUFF" TO THEM
