Apologies if this has been kicked around before but I’m interested in learning the views of you knowledgeable people……I am fortunate to have 3 modernish bikes, 2 Triumphs (1050st & T100 Bonnie) both have cable clutches and perform well with no noticeable “heaviness “…..my Evo has a hydraulic action. My mates new Hypermotard is hydraulic but another pal has a modern Supersport, which I think has a similar engine to the Hypermotard, the clutch on the SS is cable. Today I joined a pal on his brand new GSX”S”…..1000cc supernaked…..with a cable clutch.
To my nonengineering brain it would appear that cable should be cheaper to fit….so what advantage does hydraulic have on a motorcycle application ?
