Got a 1998 600 monster and looking to race it next year, what clutch master cylinders fit this? why i ask is because i crashed back in june and the clutch bottle hit the deck and exploded as was plastic. I want to have a all in one metal one. But heard that there are different ratios, this correct?

Also what people using for brake master cylinder?

cheers hope you dd ers can help

and roll on 2012!!!!

I use a bog standard 916/748 one, though some people have upgraded to brembo billet type. Works ok and is cheap to replace blades on etc. For the resevoir i have a brembo 15ml unit mounted on the top yoke. its the same set up on my 853r, and never had any problems.

A solid coffin one get a smack means its totally written off. Thats why race bikes use ones with a remote resevoir. I had plenty of offs (yes plenty) and never damaged the resevoir.

I suppose it was my first off on the monster and suppose just unlucky i dont intend to come off much next year, might just get a spare though

mine is just loose enough the lot flips up...and bar wide enough it doesn't touch much...not that I crash as much as you

Don,t get one off an S4, the ratio must be different, its a heavy pull on my 583.
