Magura hydraulic clutch.

[09killaz122]

Does anybody use the magura hydraulic clutch with the stock 4 spring clutch? How does it work? Is it pointless unless you get the hinson 6 spring?

[Eddie8v]

I use a Magura (only on woods bikes) because the engagement point is always in the same spot, and I like the way you can "dump" the clutch and there's a somewhat metered release. If it's easier to pull I don't notice that much.

Hmm I don't know much about this subject, but I noticed that Magura sells a "hydraulic clutch" for my 98' cr250 and I really would like to have it this summer. Is it worth doing for my bike? I've heard that some of them aren't "true" hydraulic clutches, but if it makes my pull alot smoother than I'm all for it...

Black CR, I have a 2004 CR 250 and just installed the Magura with a new OEM clutch...awesome!! About 30% lighter pull and self adjusts!! Got it for $219 at Rocky Mountain...

I ordered a magura hyd. clutch for my 07 450. Should be here friday. I wanted it for a hopefully easier pull because after awhile of clutching out of corners my left arm would pump up. I'll post results after I install it and try it out. It should make the pull a little easier at least.

I need some knowledge form someone with a 09 and up bike considering they have the 4 spring clutch.

[MrBlahh]

why would the spring count matter?

it replaces the cable that is all, it does not affect the springs, the pull is always the same, no cable to stretch out, I will never go back to a stupid friggin cable clutch, it's not 1960 anymore

[corndog]

It doesn't, it's just the descriptor for the 09-12 clutch that's known to be a little weak.

I have the Magura hydraulic clutch on both of my bikes, 2011 CRF450 and 2009 CRF450. The 2011 clutch is bone stock and have had no issues with it. Didn't like the constant free-play changing or the clutch lever ratio of the stock clutch lever and cable setup. This is my mx bike and doesn't really get abused that hard and doesn't have a ton of time on it though. The 2009 is my hare scramble bike and haven't had any issue with it either and it gets worked pretty hard during the 2 hour races. Just put a Rekluse Core EXP in it and tested it out today. Still like the feel of the hydraulic clutch with the Rekluse vs the cable setup. Both bikes pulled easier than stock and just never have to worry about adjusting anything. The new Magura clutches also come with a folding lever which is a nice extra feature. I'd recommend the Magura setup any day.

Could I take my trackside folding clutch lever and use it on the magura, just for looks? I know it comes with lever but mine are black and I like them alot...

BTW 30% better pull...That doesn't sound ALOT better, but a good bit I guess. Sure wish I could try one out or something before I bought it.

I had a distal radius fracture last year, I'll take 30% LOL

Put on the Magura, get rid of the Judder setup and stick some HD springs in place of stock and you shold be good. If your hard on clutches, well save your money and go aftermarket. I still get migranes trying to figure out why Honda went to a 4 spring set up.... STUPID!!

We have an 09 with a Magura on it ! Complete stock clutch assembly etc,,,,,,, There is 1 main ingredient. USE RED LINE LIGHT WEIGHT GEAR OIL. Change it every other oil change and you will be amazed. For us the stock clutch with the right stuff in it works awsome. Try this before doing any thing else !

Good luck

[09killaz122]

Awesome I may have to try one out. Thanks for the info guys

[BlackCR25098]

Definitely getting one of these. Only big mods I am doing to my 98 cr250

-PWK airstriker carb

-Magura hydraulic clutch

-Oversized radiator

We're putting in a Wiseco pro lite right now today, new reeds, it's not like this bike needs ANY more power what so ever...

[DEGBTI]

ran my 12 today with stock clutch, minus judder, and magura set up. still not 100%, getting stiffer springs and try again. just felt engagement was off in rut corners,

[rotordawg]

I just bought a low hour Magura set up for '02-'08 CRF450. I emailed Rekluse for a set up with my EXP 2.0 and they are not compatible, dang! Now it's for sale. I should have done more homework.

why not? Wouldnt it work the same as any other hydro setup?

[rotordawg]

Rekluse says there is no way to set up the preload. The Magura is self adjusting. I think the KTMs have an adjustable throw out bearing that comes with their kit. The Honda setup for Rekluse is to take all the slack out of the cable and actually adjust it with some tension on it. Mine came with 6 new (heavier) clutch springs. On an already tough pull this thing is a bear now! I am going to experiment with a lifter lever and lengthen it. I started another thread on here with that. The sacrificial lifter lever just got here so I will start experimenting with that now.
