Hydraulic Clutch?
Shamelessly stolen from Joe's China Blog...
This would be neat!

It doesn't cost that much, maybe 40 or 50$ total to order all the parts... and the cost is worth it for every motorcycle (IMO)
$20 for the Hydraulic Clutch Lever/Master Cylinder... $10 or so for the Hydraulic Clutch Slave Cylinder... and another 8 - $10 for the Stainless Steel Line ![]()

You beat me to post it!
I don't know if it's a specific RX3 clutch, or one of the universal types sold everywhere. |

I have had bad luck with those clutch systems ,the slave cylinder is a pile of crap that at best seems to last a month or two ,and if you break the lever ,they are hard to find .I wouldn't give you a red cent for one .I have dealt with 6 of them ,and every single one was removed within a month or two and tossed in the circuler file .
Your mileage may vary . |

The guy we bought our RX3's from also included a new, extra clutch cable. Hopefully it's a scarecrow. Anyone else notice the upside down OCS?

If you're good with dropping 250 or so maturation makes a mighty fine hydro clutch
