    Has anyone converted, modified their cable clutch to one that is hydraulic?
    I'm thinking about finding a way to do it. I have also searched for a softer clutch and heard about the AMP power clutch, it contains a set of small sprockets and springs inside a little box which aides when pulling the clutch lever. Any thoughts besides greasing or lubing the existing cable? :roll:

    A couple of guys over on the XS11 site have done the conversion using parts from other bikes. The clutch on the 650 seems softer then the 1100's so.......

    That does look interesting. I was looking at some clutches for pit bikes that i think could easily be modified to pull the clutch lever. I saw some on ebay. My only concern was having to get a longer pressure hose than the stock one that comes with the set. I tried my friends CBR clutch and man what a difference. I want my clutch to be that soft and smooth.
