Just done this to my TLS
And I don't know what all the fuss is about!
Its just as bloody heavy!
Although I do like the feel of it compared to the cable!
I just need to replace the res cap as its got an anodized red one and looks crap!

I quite like the hydraulic clutch on my tlr - i thought it was a bit stiff when i first got the bike, so greased the lever pivot bolt which improved it.
2002 TL1000R K1 - TRE, Pegasus performance cans, F.Fabbri frosted screen, Powerbronze undertray & Hugger, R&G bobbins, Wavy discs (probably chinese!!)Short levers, aftermarket heelplates & posh private plate!
My TLR clutch is really light. As suggested, try and grease it up to ease it up.
MTC pipes, Tre, Airbox mod, 1/5 throttle insert, fan switch, 16/39 gearing, PC11, +/- mods, Double bubble, Pilot Powers 2cts Hagon shock. intergrated L.E.D. indicators/rear lights, mirror indicators,rear view camera/monitor.
If you get/fit one of Stu's adjustable clutch push-rods you get a constant "bite" point & the thing I like about the hyd' clutch conversion to my S is the fact that the feel stays constant...............it doesn't fade or get heavier. Cables for the S clutch need a lot of maintenance and in MHO need replacing frequently.
I mean come on..............a virtual right-angle at each end of a clutch cable?![]()

Having had the displeasure of using a stock TLS clutch with barnett beef springs on a cableIts like trying to squeeze beech pebbles in your hand.
Surely the hydro must be giving you something better.
In god we trust!!! everyone else pays cash!!!
