I would like to fit a hydraulic clutch. Is there one suitable, does anyone know?
Thanks,
Bb

You can get a hydraulic clutch but it only replaces the cable as the slave cylinder is mounted above the clutch case.

I think your best bet is to leave the clutch lifting mechanism stock!!

It’s the dreaded arthritis don’t you know.
Still, thanks for your replies.
I have a really nice low mileage example despite it being 14 years old. The clutch cable looks very good but I replaced it with a new one tonight and it is smoother. Looking forward to better weather here and more freedom at some point. Then I can go for a proper ride on my a savage instead of my Super Cub.

Although a hydraulic clutch may be easer to pull, while waiting at a red light a cable clutch is easer to hold in.

What you seek is the Rekluse Auto Clutch. Contact them to see if they have a kit that would work on the Savage. Is the DR650 clutch the same as the LS650? If it is, there is hope.

Just to say, we do have a great company over here in the UK, called Venhill. They offer a service for Magura whereby one can measure up and order parts to make up a kit. Unfortunately Magura say that you need a clutch travel of 10mm or less otherwise not suitable. The Savage clutch travel is more than that, 13mm approx. How annoying is that!

only slightly irritating as you can move the clevis closer to the fulcrum
thereby reducing the travel can you not?

Not sure why you would want to though

Did you lubricate the new clutch cable you just bought ?
If not, it helps.

I'll take a look at that possibility Hiko.

No Lancer I don't lubricate the cable on first fitting, but I do thereafter. Some cables are recommended not to be lubed, aren't they?

Check out Easy Pull clutch and actuators. I don't know if they will work on a savage. Listed as off road.

I have a spring gadget and just measured my S40 clutch pull. It is 33lbs which is more than I would have guessed.

No wonder we all have such a strong hand shake. Smiley
