| Fitted one of Nellys to my 916 last year and would recommend it - it's is much bettter than the standard cylinder.
The problem with aftermarket slaves which claim to reduce lever pressure 30% etc is that the master cyclinder is only still moving the same amount of fluid as when the standard slave was fitted. The reduction in lever pressure is achieved by the slave cylinder having a larger bore which makes the clutch action easier. Conseqently because the fluid volume being moved by the master cylinder is unchanged the piston does not move as far as the standard one which also reduces the travel of the clutch pushrod and so you can have problems with the clutch not disengaging correctly or as smoothly as it should.
So think carefully before going for aftermarket cylinders which claim large reductions of lever pressure.
Nelly claims, sorry if I get the figure wrong Neil, a reduction of about 10% in the lever pressure which is very noticable when riding the bike in traffic etc, when to be honest the standard clutch action is a pain, whilst not being to much to cause any trouble with clutch engamnet/disengagement.
So I support Iconic944ss - go for Nellys every time  |
