Takegawa Clutch Install Question?

[Brassreed]

Ok CT Fans.

I am new to this forum but I enjoy reading comments on it
my question is regarding the Takegawa Hydro clutch conversion.
The slave is located in the engine case and they recommend using brake fluid to operate. What happens if the slave leaks and gets into the engine oil?
so I was thinking on Ebikes they use mineral oil so why couldn’t someone use that instead of brake fluid? If it leaked it wouldn’t be a problem?
Or I’m I just worrying to much as you notice a problem right away if it leaked?
as a bonus what do you think of this conversation?
As a long time big bike rider I truly miss the clutch..
I did get the clutch conversion kit and going to try it out..
Thanks in advance…

worrying too much. you'll feel the clutch fail before it leaks enough into the oil to matter. the seals and such aren't designed to deal with mineral spirits either so dont do it.

i did a manual clutch conversion before that was available, and it makes the bike much better TBH. good luck w it.

Thanks for the reply going for it this weekend. I’ll let you know how it comes outs out.
