Received Ned's hydraulic clutch releaser today.......ART!!

Looks amazing.

On my h2b caferacer, I use 15 plates, redline heavy duty springs (stiffer than Barnett heavy duty) plus 1 plug washer to stiffen up even more. Had to due to the ->100 NM torque. No slippage at all now.

But even when using Ralfs fantastic releaser, off course the clutch is hard to pull. Not too hard, but still......hard.

Now I have my hydraulic releaser. The question is what kind of pump to use? I need a bit more travel than stock due to the 15 plate mod.

Any suggestions? My brake pump is a early 80-ties kawa, the rectangular one used for many kawasakies in that decade.
Is there any kawasaki clutch pumps with the rectangular outfit similar to my brake reservoar that I can use? I would really like the clutch reservoar to be visual nice, like the old kawasaki rectangular.

If not available, what other pump/reservoar can be used for my application?

And is there any travel adjustments on these pumps? I have no experience with this high tech parts

I have a 15 plate setup and it seems to be ok with a 9.5mm master cylinder made by AJP. It has an adjustable stroke too.
When I say ok, I mean I get a bit of drag when the oil is cold but goes away after warming up. That could also be because of the oil I'm using too?

Are you guys serious ! 15 friction plates ? How did you get so many in there ? Wow ,,,My bike needs 20 ,,, I just installed New friction plates , new steel plates , new springs , new oil and it still slips and feels like a 1 cylinder four stroke

Barnetts has thinner steel plates available to make up for the extra plates. It should increase holding capacity by 15% with no added clutch force.

Mine are Barnetts and theres no way I could fit more plates in there ,,,well actually they are the ones for from Andrea . Guess there not barnetts ...

[Walms]

I bought mine directly from Barnetts as they have a few thickness options other than stock, not to mention cheaper to buy direct.

I use H1 steelplates on My H2. They are 0,4mm thinner than the H2 steelplates. Then I added 1 friction and 1 steelplate. With the redline springs, it never slipes, even with plus 100 rwNm torque/plus 120 rwhp power.

What Bike you got rocket?

1975 H1 500 . I have had clutch issues with this bike its entire life since I bought the bike new in 1975 .
Think I'll have to go with the added friction plate and slimmer steel plates ...or try ATF F

[givr]

Yeah, you got clutch troubles. You can't seem to keep the front wheel down. el oh fricken el.

Canadian tire carries a cheap ATF F ...worked cats as s in my drag bike.
