I just finished dropping a Magura Hydraulic clutch into the KDX-220 and I had a question for you all...
The actuator rod that sticks out of the slave cylinder apparently has a return spring in it such that if you pull actuator further out, you can feel the return spring tension and letting go of it will cause it to retract a bit back into the slave cylinder to a "neutral" position...
After I installed it, the clutch arm at the case holds the actuator beyond this neutral position out under tension against this return spring (Is this the self adjusting feature they talk about in the manual?)
As a byproduct of this return spring tension, there is zero freeplay in the clutch arm at the case... Its not under alot of tension, but its missing the 1 or 2 millimeters of freeplay at the arm that was there with the OEM cabled clutch.
Is this going to cause a problem? I'd say that the amount of pressure holding the clutch right at zero freeplay is light finger pressure...
Thanks in advance!
