Just got one of these off ebay, they're supposed to make the clutch pull a little lighter,anyone had any experience of the oberon branded one?...oh and they do look quite trick too.
Yep, had an Oberon on my 848 Evo, best mod I did, absolutely brilliant and really nicely built. Not heard a bad thing about Oberon products
Thanks guys,the bikes due in for a service in the next couple of weeks,i'll ask my mech to fit it...roll on spring.
It does slightly increase the lever travel, so make sure you aren't someone who has the clutch lever really close to the bar otherwise you may not quite get the clutch to fully disengage and makes gear change tricky. Was fine for me, have plates for hands!
Still got my Oberon to fit. Thinking about replacing the mounting screws on the clutch slave aswell. Something keeps telling me they are M5 and not sure on the length, until I get home and check.
Mine arrived this morning, but there is no piston/pushrod included with it. Does anyone know if the OE pushrod will fit with the Oberon item?
The kit should have arrived with a small insert, a little cylinder less than a centimetre long. I didn't need it for my 999S, the slave just fitted over the original pushrod, no drama.
yes, depending on year/model etc you may not need the 'extension' (10 mm long). Easy way to check :- remove pushrod (worth doing anyway to check condition/'O' ring etc) and measure. If 335 mm long then just assemble up and job is done. If 325 then you need the extension piece.
One of the bes thing i have put on my bike it is a dream to drive in the city and you dont get tired after five minutes' drive.
Just reducing the stack height has accidentally given me a much lighter lever (two-finger light) and for free. I am tempted to try an Oberon to get a ridiculously light lever but a) What I have is already perfectly light enough and b) I am worried that the reduced 'throw' at the pressure plate might induce some drag and I have no drag whatsoever at the moment. The Oberon (and other aftermarket slave cylinders) gives a lighter lever by altering the ratio between the piston width of master and slave cylinders to give you more mechanical (or hydraulic) advantage. The inevitable downside of this is that a given pull of the clutch lever gives you less movement of the pressure plate, so drag is more likely.
Yes. At the moment, I can find neutral as easily from second as first. I wouldn't want to lose that when the lever is already nice and light.
Old Rider you still around? what does reducing the stack high mean and involve is it an easy thing to do/try
