lookin good man!

 

Why switch from cable to hydro clutch? Seems like a waste of time and money for me. It's essentially the same thing with less headaches?

 

looks good man

 

Thank you! Kawi304 I'm sure you recognize a few parts lol. TheStock50Kid, have you ever ran a hydro clutch? I like the feel of them over cable clutches, except maybe the takegawa one. And it was included on the engine I bought lol, so I decided to keep it.

 

I really like the RB graghics with the black rims, looks good.

 

Nice bike traut! I must admit I've been scoping craigslist looking for a 2010 or newer to pop up for the right price and I'll probably end up testing out the kawi as well.

 

No I've never ridden a hydro clutch because my wallet is allergic to fancy. If you did a complete motor swap, it's whatever, but I just don't see it. You're pulling a lever, how much of a difference could it be? Now you gotta worry about fluids and bleeding lines and such. With cable you also get the opportunity to slip the clutch around corners and whatever. I was just curious as some things to me just don't make sense anymore.

More than you'd know. They feel completely different.

You can with a hydraulic clutch too...The lever just provides less feedback to the riders hand.

 

^^ thank you.
Never got questioned so hard about having a hydro clutch before

 

be that by someone who's never even felt or ridden with one...

 

Ive never ridden with a hydro clutch on a mini but on big bikes i definitely prefer my Works Connection Elite Perch/Hinson Clutch/Motion Pro cable. WAY better than a hydro. Once you get a cable clutch dialed in then they are perfect!

 

Except for the extra maintenance of the cable...And you are talking about a big $$$ clutch set up there, no wonder it feels good. I am still a fan of hydro over cables. Self adjusting being reason #1. And for all the people who think hydros are more work bla bla bla lines, fluid bla bla, when was the last time you adjusted the brake cable on a big bike? Oh yeah about that...

 

Looks Good! Where did you find a RED Throttle cable for a stock throttle?

 

It came with some parts I bought. Text me if you're interested, I'm putting a black one on so was going to throw it up for sale 573 535 9955

Once i got the cable dialed in (took about an hour) then it was perfect. Waaaaaay easier to pull in than a hydro and much more positive feeling. All i do is just spin the thumbwheel thing but i just do that over jumps depending on how the track is changing or what obstacle is coming next haha

 

What do you guys think- media blast and brush the side engine covers or have them re-pc'd black? White plates w/ pre printed backgrounds or black pre printed number backgrounds/white numbers?

 

Def media blast and brush them side covers. Makes the motor look more like a big bike.

 

I vote blast and brush them. PC will wear off at some point and ugly it all up.

And LOL about the hydro clutch! That was some funny reading! I'd take a hydro all day long over a cable, on my CRF70 or my CRF450.

 

Oh! I personally like the look of black backgrounds with white numbers. BUT in my local moto distric that color combo is C class. (not to toot my horn...) but ever since I turned A (2010 distric 6 25+A champ:biggthumpup I run white plates black numbers.
I vote run the color background you fit. Black is C yellow is B and white is A. In D6 anyway.
