too lazy to do a write up but i have one , and have no regrets getting it,its very easy to pull in, so easy i cut the lever down and just use 2 fingers, a little difficult to bleed it but other than that, oh yeah, if you get one you dont have to bleed it,they come assembled and if you can snake it thru from the handlebar to the clutch arm you wont have to bleed it so if you dont have to take it apart to route it dont, i learned the hard way

i know two people. One got the magura hydraulic clutch and the other got an easy pull rtc lever. The rtc is an easeir pull then then the magura. And it cost about $140 less. If you want to hear this from first hand experiance, ask 1bad4fifty and jeepnrocks, from 450rhq.com

I have the magura on three of my quads. The only problem I've had was on my 250r the seam of the pipe caught the line. In a second it was burnt through. I did some re-routing and covered the new line with -3 braided line and haven't had a problem since.
Once you've used one you don't want anything else. They have a consistance easy pull and work flawlessly.

I had one on my 400ex, went out to Silver Lake and rode for.. 2 days I think. By that time I was already putting the lever and cable back on. First the tiny cheap arse adjuster at the bottom mount broke, then Somehow the fluid dissapears, found out the slave cylinder went south and it filled the other side of the slave cylinder. I called them.. got nothing out of it. The only hydrolic clutch that I think is worth buying is the Billetanium Hydro clutch. It uses a much beefier design, however costs around 400 bucks. My nice new ASV lever and stock cable costs a total of $160 bucks, if I loose the feel or break a cable..... A factory 450R cable is $9.50 from Service Honda.....
This is just the expierience I had with mine....... I'm not trying to bash on it at all, so please, don't take this the wrong way.

I bought one thinking it would get rid of the fading problem my bike has because it is supposed to self adjust for it. Well my clutch still fades by the end of the day. I had the RTC set up before I rolled my bike and to me the pull felt about the same. I only paid $125 shipped for mine. There's a guy on e-bay that sells them all the time.

I'v ridden a few bikes with them...Not a huge fan. On my 450r the clutch pull is light enough to feather it with two fingers. If your really after easier pull try one of the ezpull levers that everybody has made at some point...
But the guys I do know that run the magura setups like them and seem to have decent luck, so it cant be all bad.

i have two one on my 250r and one on my 450. the 250 is fine i love it but on the 450 ive had nothing but problems i think it lets my clutch slip and i loose all pressure it wont disengage the clutch i thought it was the cylinder so i called magura they sent me another and i still have problems i went back to a cable and easy pull lever and it is almost as easy to pull and headache free. i wont buy another one

easiest pulling lever ive had has been the RTC lever. they are low cost and the design works very well, it makes a super easy pull. i have a moose easy pull at the moment bc i broke my RTC and im just experimenting with differant ones, i like my moose lever just fine but my RTC was easier to pull. I have C5 ASV's on the way (thanks gumby!) so we'll see how they compare to the other two, ive heard nothing but great things about them so im excited to see! hope it helps just cant justify spending that much on a lever when u can spend 35 or so and get the same results, on top of that it wont be near as much that could go wrong. but ive never owned a hydrolic clutch so my opinions or totally biased so take it as u will just puttin my thoughts out there! let us kno what u choose and how u like it...

Get an RTC lever and save yourself some coin
