GSXR Hydraulic Clutch Conversion?
I have a 2002 GSX-R600 with a cable clutch that I would like to convert to hydraulic. Do the hydraulic clutches from 07 GSX-R1000 directly swap over to my bike? If not are there any conversion kits out there?
Because I daily this bike and the clutch is way too stiff. This isn't something I would like to do because I know cables are just better in general, but the constant stiffness is becoming too annoying. Just looking into other options.
snzip. I am taking the cable off today and trying that. Is there anything internally that would make the pull harder? Upgraded clutch? I am very familiar with cars but I haven't looked into how a wet clutch works yet.

There are conversion kits, but for crying out loud, that's gotta be the dumbest idea I've read today. Cable clutches are used because they're easier to maintain and they save weight.
The only reason bigger capacity bikes bother with hydraulics is because the bikes need much stronger clutch springs and thus a cable clutch would not give you enough leverage to operate using your hand.
Plus, you get more clutch feedback with a cable, so why would you want to lose that?

You could run liquid graphite down the housing, to get the cable soaked well. Or maybe silicone lubricant. Don't know whether the hydraulic/cable conversion works.
