When using the larger bore 16x18 (the smallest one Brembo makes) you'll find that it makes the lever harder to pull than the stock master. This should be used with an oversized slave cylinder for a reasonable pull. If you have a 2001 or later updated slave cylinder you'll be OK.

so, in laymans terms.....what it an oversized slave cylinder? is that the plastic thing which holds the fluid?
maybe a good reason to chnage to an anodised one.....

The clutch slave cylinder is the one by your left boot when you're on the bike. Where the front sprocket cover is.

ah, ok thanks. Where would I get one of those and are they a standard fitment?

If you want one that gives you a lighter action see Nelly/JHP.
