Rick/Teddy, what size clutch slave cylinder did you guys put on your bike?  I know that both the 28mm and 30mm will reduce the pressure at the lever, but have heard that the 30 sometimes makes the clutch a bit harder to modulate.  Thoughts?

On the 916 I had a 28mm, which was hard enough to modulate until I got used to it. So I imagine the 30mm would be even harder to modulate. 30mm has easier lever pull, but it takes a greater movement of the lever to move the pushrod the same distance. If I were to do it again, I'd stick with the 28mm.

You can also go with 4 stiffer springs instead of 6 OE springs. On the 999 I have the OE slave, but with 4 stainless springs. Net result = easier pull, excellent modulation, no unwanted slipping.

iirc, 28

Good counterpoint.  Thanks Bob.
