I agree totally the lightest clutch pull is no pull at all. When we talk about hydraulic or cable clutches were just referring to how the clutch is actuated.
Hydraulic Clutch Conversion Morris Minor
Hydraulic clutch vs cable clutch. A hydraulic clutch has a cylinder at the pedal like the brakes and feeds fluid to another cylinder which pushed the lever to move the clutch in and out. With a cable clutch lever force is transferred via a bowden cable which has steel wire running. Both clutch setups handle the power fine the difference between manual hydraulic is the pull. How does a hydraulic clutch work. A hydraulic clutch uses hydraulic fluid instead of a cable to move the clutch disc. Get a rekluse if you want to eliminate left hand fatigue.
Whats the difference and is one setup better than the other. Most motorcycles come with cable actuated clutches but some bikes have hydraulic setups. The cable clutch costs low than that of hydraulics. Well explain in this video from the mc. This is because the mechanical clutch is made up of cable wire which is easy to maintain and set up. It relies on reservoir cylinders to control pressure in relation to how the clutch pedal is depressed.
A cable clutch is pulled in and out by a cable from the pedal to the lever which operates it. Theres still a narrow engagement zone theres just no feel of where that zone is and it changes with the engine temperature so one gets used to the range of where the clutch will engage. Most cars made from the 90s onward have hydraulic clutches. The cable is a harder pull but the engagement is far better. One can go for the clutch as per the requirement. Whereas the hydraulic clutches comprise bore pipes master cylinder small cylinders and fluid.
Hydraulic clutch has the same pull as cable clutch just smoother. With hydraulic the feel is lost.
