I understand how the driveline is setup I used to have an 1150R. I'd honestly rather see just a plain ol clutch cable setup instead of a hydraulic system of somesort. At least on these bikes it seems like it might actually be a step up in reliablity
Dont necessarily agree. If you use mineral oil I think the majority would find the hydraulic clutch actuation system is very reliable. More so than a cable. Also a lot easier to use. Clutch actuation issues on R's is pretty rare I believe.
