    Seems to me that all you needed to do was install some new/good quality brass washers alongside the banjo bolt on both ends. Problem solved.

    The switch you did not know what it was for, is to prevent the bike from starting when its in a gear. You just have to connect it to the OEM wiring thats there. Seeing that this is a dart bike you have, it may not have the wiring on that bike

      @@tomatdb52 depending on the road bike you have, it may or may not have that feature on the clutch lever, but it may be on the kickstand. Also if it do have the feature on the lever and you can't find the wiring, if it's a used bike, the previous owner may have cut the wiring and bridged it to remove the use of engaging the clutch lever when starting the bike. Or they may have switched to a lever the dont have the ability to put that switch on the lever, but still bridged the wiring to still start the bike. Just do some research on your bike, if it do have the wiring, it may be tucked away on the bike.

    Surprised that you haven't installed a really nice skid plate. I hear one complaint is the brake pedal can get a sticl lodged between it and the case and a good skid plate helps.

    I just did a hydraulic conversion on my Chinese bike. Brembo knock off master and a 12.7mm slave. Wish it pulled about a mm further! I don’t know what the piston size is on the master, but it doesn’t seem like 10mm considering the relatively short movement of the 12.7mm slave. Might pull the piston out and measure.

      It’s almost like it’s missing a clutch disc or a steel the amount of travel it takes to engage the clutch, a solid 1/2 to 3/4 inch or more (so like 14-18mm?). a lot more than other bikes I’ve had.

    Is the lever of clutch strong if u pull by hand becouse i have a 600 cc and the lever is strong and i dont know if the piston can pull that

    • @tomatdb52
      @tomatdb52  2 місяці тому

      I don't think it's a good option for a 600cc. You need a stronger slave cylinder than what comes with this kit.
