[QUOTE="slodad, post: 1030278, member: 63393"] My son bought at '98 YZ250 that came with a Magura hudraulic clutch installed. We replaced it with the stock cable setup because the clutch would not disengage. With the Magura, there was very little movement of the clutch actuator arm. It turned out that reinstalling the cable unit was not the solution, but before putting back the Magura, I want to make sure that it is operating properly. The Magura clutch lever had only a few degrees of travel before stopping, unlike the cable system that can be pulled all the way to the handlebar. Is that normal, or should it travel over a greater range? The slave unit rod that attaches to the clutch actuator arm has only about 1/8" of travel, compared to about 1/2" for the cable. Should that be enough to disengage the clutch? I removed the cap from the slave unit, and seeing a hex socket in the actuator piston, assumed that there might be some adjustment potential there. What I found was the opportunity (of which I took full advantage) to remove the piston and totally mess up things by introducing lots of air into the system when replacing the piston. So now the questions are: 1) does one need special Magura tools for bleeding the system; 2) how does the Magura system normally feel, lever travelwise; 3) is 1/8" of travel all that should be expected from the slave unit; 4) should that amount of travel be sufficient to disengage the clutch?
