Magura Hyd Clutch on 84 500?

Is it possible to put a Magura Hyd Clutch on a 84 500? If so, is there anything (special fabrication) needed? Anyone tried this sucessfully?

lf its the stock disc brake of the later 1986 + Huskys its a Brembo brake.

You would need to fix a mount for the caliper on to the lower part of the forks, yours are marked K1.

You would need K2s, (1986 onwards) to mount the disc setup, lm pretty sure you cannot swap just the lowers

Maybe easier to get a later set of forks, however if they need rebuilding (the K2s) there seems to be a current shortage of bushings for them.

oops................

Call Fran at Bottones Jo Bet Husky. He has done Maguras for CLUTCH on manual Husky clutches. He has one on his own bike too.

Contact info?

any contact info on Fran?

joe chod my hero, helpfull to the end

those babies need a hydro clutch....good thing they had ton of power and torque cause it takes a mule to pull the clutch

A hydraulic clutch is all about mechanical advantage. Other than a slight cable drag, you can accomplish any leverage change on a Husky by lengthening the clutch arm 1/2" to 3/4". If you want the self adjusting feature because you slip the clutch a lot, go with the hydraulic.

Extend the clutch actuator lever or use a front brake actuator(longer), no hydro or mule needed.
Someone on evilbay sells trick looking billet extended clutch actuator arms , around $25 i think.

814 368 9944. say hi for me too!

Search "heavy clutch pull" in the vintage section for "how to" extend the clutch arm. Hope this helps.

man up!! eat your vitamins, and pull that lever lol..MSR easy pull, lenthen the arm an inch, and use the white painted clutch springs,,,easy cheasy.

The stock 86-87 are same as longer trick husky products ones. Also have an up-bend in them to reduce cable drag from cable mount end near left side of cylinder base.

I was thinking of something like this....

A few years ago a buddy of mine had one of these on his KX500 Motard. He had to fabricate a longer cable connector but once done it was the dog's bollox.....

Yep. the 86-87 is 1/4 inch longer and up swept.

At 1/4" longer you will get a little relief. Or use a front brake actuator of any husky DLS brake/ It will add just over 1/2" to your existing arm (others may work) and you will get the up swept advantage and over 1/2" longer leverage. This will give you a 2 finger clutch (if every thing else in the sys is working as it should) take care with any longer and up swept actuator that it doesn't foul on the bottom of the bigger carbed bikes.............or yer dial a jet

Alot of the pull seems to be basket related (excluding spring difference) the older alloy baskets seem to be much harder to pull than the later steel ones, perhaps this is drag related, or they ware faster?

I have the '88 actuator arm on my WR430 with a brand new cable properly routed and the clutch pull is terribly difficult. My clutch basket also has 6 springs instead of 5. Where can one find these "white" clutch basket springs? I looked into machining the inside of the right side case to accept a hydraulic piston for the Magura clutch. The clutch shaft bearing is right up against the side of the case though so there is no room to play. I believe the external cable actuated Magura setup might hit the expansion chamber as there is very little clearance for the piston assembly where the cable attaches to the left side case. I am very interested to see if there is a solution to this problem.

yellow..hard, blue, medium, white easy...
when i part bikes out, i look for them.. have no idea were you can find them.
the MSR leaver with the easy pull cam makes things easy as well.
i add an inch to the arm, by cutting another lever, or a cheap wrench, and weld it in place with a good welder.....
