Hi i want to fit a Magura 1 clutch master cyclinder to a TXC250 2013 so i can use my Midwest Mountain lever, trouble is the Brembo uses brake fluid and the Magura is Mineral oil! Does anyone know if i can use and what fluid should be used also Thanks in advance
Right I know someone is going to have fits over this but around 4 years ago I mixed a brake fluid system with a mineral oil setup and after the master clyinder seal swelled so bad it all went tits up. I rebuilt the master cylinder and used good old sun flower cooking oil for the system !! Sold the bike to a mate that still has it and its never been a moments trouble and works as smooth as the day I put it all together and has as far a I know never even had a top up or fluid change. Its entirely up to you but it will get you over the problem and works really well unless someone else has a better idea. It dosnt matter what way you go with brake fluid vs mineral oils both will swell seals that are not designed to be used with.
I have used a couple of different fluids, I agree with you about swelling. Only thing is the return action is slower with thicker oils, when I used 10w40 engine oil it was slightly harder action and slightly slower return speed.
