Hydraulic Clutch Lever?

[mishka]

Does anyone or has anyone used the Hydraulic Clutch Lever?
im thinking of getting one for my x15(will get one lol)
but i don't like it that they are that hot pinkish color...
i need one silver and with a short lever..
i believe they come with the unbreakable levers so i cant just
grind it down..
so does anyone have any experience on these things?
any help would be great!thumbsup2

thanx

thats the color im talking about..its not working for me lol
so ya any input on this part? cowboy

[stuntnx7]

you can cut a lever even though its unbreakable.....lol....

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

hey that could go on my bike
just repaint it man

[Shooter]

If you have a Dremel or rotozip or even a drill, you can get one of those scotchbrite disc pads and basically buff-sand the color off, I mentioned the smaller tools because you can get into the little nooks and crannies, otherwise just a regular scotchbrite pad will be fine if you want to avoid painting it.

[Mr.jon]

it apears to be anodized, all you would need to do is get some lye, mix with water, disasemble the lever, pop it in the mix, pull it out 30 seconds later, scrub it down, repeat till color is gone, then you will need some degeaser to deactivate the acid or else it will eat through your lever causing pitting.

do u think i can just sand down the paint?
and just cut the lever to make it smaller?
hmm...i guess i could try thisthumbsup2
thanx guys!

its not paint, the aluminum is anodized, then died, then sealed, the color is now part of the metal.

[mishka]

crap...
i think im just going to wait for one that is silver..
ive seen them before i just cant find them now!banghead

[swanni06]

just ask the seller if he can get you a silver one

[Holeshotz Performance]

The color is red, not pink the pictures seem to not get the color right. In person they look nothing like that.

My hydro clutch assemblies come in black, red, blue, silver and gold and are $95 a kit.

oh nice!
do u have any pictures of the silver one?

[mishka]

hey guys.
well i got one of those hyd. clutch levers and i was trying to install it on my x18 but im having a hard time getting it on there. everything fits, but when i try to press clutch it wont go. What do you think it the problem? Any help would be helpful.. also it has oil in it and everything like that, it just wont ingauge the clutch..

[The Nutty Professor]

Can't see the problem without a few photo's. Is the cable coming out of the actuator moving?

[mishka]

ill take a few pictures. the cable will only move if u put it first, then you keep holding it and press the lever then it moves..( does that make sense?)

[The Nutty Professor]

Aaahh no dunno But the cable should move no matter what. As you squeeze the lever it should pull in and as you release it should move back out.

[mishka]

hmm maybe i should add more oil? cuz i just went and looked how much was in it and it seems like it is only half way full.. hmm i wonder if autozone sells oil for it..

[The Nutty Professor]

Yeah brake fluid. I would drain what's in there and start again with new fluid. Just my opinion. Brake fluid absorbs water and if it was half full when you got it? I take it it was primed and only needed to be installed right? If not and you added it you should be OK just adding more fluid.

[mishka]

well i got it band new. never used or installed. so ya ill just go and drain it and put new oil in it. thanx man

thumbsup2 Anytime Lil Bro. I ain't a genius but a idiot who's made a lot of mistakes and learned enough to try and not make the same mistakes again. The idiot part is when I forget the mistakes.rolleye0010

[mishka]

haha lol ya man im the same way. ill let you know how it works outthumbsup2

[The Nutty Professor]

haha lol ya man im the same way. ill let you know how it works outthumbsup2

Good I want to add one.

[mishka]

ok i got some DOT4 oil and put some in, now im trying to bleed it so it will work. I got about half way done with it so i hope this works. my hands are killing me now lol. why cant anything be a bolt on these days!! loltears2

[Hugh Jass]

cuz that would be way to easy you have to work for what you want.. .. twice once to ern the money for it and again to make it work.

[doubleu82]

G'mornin! I just received a hydraulic clutch lever I bought off ebay. There's some fluid in it, but when I pull the lever, the part that's supposed to pull the clutch doesn't move. My question is how do I bleed this thing?

Here are a few areas where people had the same problem. Try the search function we're still small enough that it's easy to find stuff.

http://midbikenation.com/showthread.php?t=709&highlight=clutch

Get paper towels or towels and have a hose or bucket of water handy. This is to get the fluid off the body panels or any area where you'd really like to keep paint on it moon1

Otherwise bleed it at the banjo bolt on both ends. The bolt near the master cylinder will bleed it and the other will bleed the line. Open the master cylinder and make sure it's full. Now open the bottom valve or bolt and leave it open and see if it will gravity feed fluid. If and when fluid comes out close it. One way to cheat is to take the brake line off the bottom actuator. Now with your thumb and fore-finger close off both sides of the banjo fitting. Now pump the lever. Your fingers can't hold back the pressure from the fluid but they will seal it and allow large pockets of air out and each time you release the lever they will seal the bolt back. When fluid really starts blowing out re-install the bottom actuator (Quickly). Now go back to the top and pump the master cylinder hold it down and crack the top bolt. There will still be air in the system but you'll get it out using the two bolts. Using the bolts can be real messy because fluid can blow out 360 degrees that's why you need all the towels and the water. Bleeding systems with just the bolts is a pain in the arse so be prepared for the aggravation angry_red moon1moon1

[doubleu82]

Thanks for the info. I actually did search but I think I must have been too specific, not to mention my grammar might have been too good. A lot of posts are so grammatically incorrect that's hard to find what I'm looking for.

[mishka]

ya i had one.. i couldn't bleed it for some reason..
it just took forever lol.
good luck man.:)

[ninja x1]

[The Nutty Professor]

Bump for a cause thumbsup2

[The Nutty Professor]

Ok I think I got all the hydro clutch thread stuff and merged it. Somebody should be able to find something in here.
