Hydraulic Clutch Pedal
Guinness - 13/8/04 at 08:39 PM

I am using a ZZR1100 engine and it has a hydraulic clutch. How do i marry this up to the MK pedal kit? Do i need another master cylinder?

Car builder solutions have one for £28, but i am worried it will have a bigger cyl dia than a bike leading to no feel through the clutch?

There is a clutch lever off a ZZR1100 on ebay, could i buy that and use the cylinder and reservoir of that?

ive seen a pedal linked thru a bulk head to a bike lever, ive got MK pedal set/master cly running a blackbird clutch with a better feel than cable ones iv'e driven.

Someone on here today was saying they were using a bike rear brake master cylinder. I would hink you would need some springing to give you feel as they are lighter than cars

I have tackled this problem on several ocassions. Best solution I found was use car type m/cyl and alter the pedal pivots to adjust the ratio/feel.
You can work it all out on paper first which saves a lot of trial and error.
