Hydraulic clutch conversion? - Page 2 - SV650.org

Oh aye... It's entirely possible the lifter mechanism at the end of the cable has chewed itself up- mine spat out all its bearings so it was metal-on-metal every time i used the clutch. Improved my grip strength no end

Any advise on what bit are needed for the conversion?

A complete hydro clutch kit from a TL. Best place to get them is on TLP as many people have converted their TLR hydro clutch to a cable one.

Contact RizlaSV, her partner had a TLR and i was going to get the kit from him.

If there are any other mods needed i am not sure. But the kit is from a TLR.

I am guessing the DL1000 is the same engine as a TLR more or less?

Did you have to modify the front sprocket cover, what about the push rod, original one or the one from the DL?

The DL1000 is the VStrom (is it not

) If so, the DL has the SV1000 lump in it

New cable = £11
Also check the clutch lever hole where it pivots around the bolt on the handlebar fitting. If this hole is oval ie it is no longer round then that will make the action heavy and awkward.
Buy a genuine Suzuki lever if you need to replace it. About £17.
