FINALLY Clutch issue!!

today while riding on very hacked out/deep grooved single track trails while following a very relaxed pace (bored) lead rider (ryno),, my clutch started to feel dead at the lever after while it just releases at full pull and grabs at the least bit of release from the handgrip. Will now finally do a complete clutch refurb, 1.6 years @110hours all OEM.
PS I am a clutch user/abuser,,,I use it as a decel slipper clutch and an auto clutch under acceleration (read slip it all the time)

I know you are just reporting the duration of no issues with abuse/use. But I bet if you just bleed it you'll get some more lengthy great hours out of it

Is there a difference between Magura on a ktm and one on a husky?

Sorry if my suggestion seemed green- I just haven't had a problem with one on either (ktm/Husky)- buddies have though and on ktms and usually it is solved by getting some new fluid in there which does not have a bubbles. 9/10 comes from running it low and falling- grabbing the clutch and air gets in the line.

I have seen the x rings and new piston- which look like improvements for sure. But have always wondered if the system is different on the Husky's because they reportedly have failures in the systems- requiring new and improved parts.

Okay~ thanks for that- I thought it was standardized to include the piston and o ring/s- That makes more sense now- I had always wondered why the husky reportably seemed to have more issues - I have a 2002 Ktm and have not had an issue....yet.

Guess I probably won't wait for the thing to fail and do the piston upgrade as it will save wear the housing (as I understand it). On my 09TE450 I tend to use the clutch alot in the tight stuff....

GG is using his own cylinder with 2 O-Rings

The Gasgas unit is a AJP. My 125 has had no issues in 5 years. Half the effort at the lever too.

just pulled the slave piston, absolutly no wear on the piston or the slave cylinder. the o ring is just flat sided. Fluid is a little dark but thats it. Will put it all back together and hope the clutch itself is ok (it has never slipped,yet. Got x-ring from Up-Tite for re-assy.

well did a complete inspection and disassembly of all components. was ready to install the rebuild kit into the master cylinder,,,,but upon inspection the cylinder is wasted the chrome(nickel) plating is all peeled, bubbled and sharp edged, causing the seals to leak, and for me to see fluid around my lever area. I installed a new clutch, all plates, a new clutch hose is going on ,,,the old one was weeping around the lower banjo crimp which is loose and spinning,, installing a new slave piston 7602 up grade and then comes the big bleed!! Oh yeah I finally removed the clutch safety sw and connected the plugged wires in the under tank area, my habit of clutch pulling will always be there anyway after this long.

most likely will replace the OEM 9.5mm master with a 10.5mm as that is what's available at the moment. If I dont like it I will go back to the 9.5
