Factory Racing Slave Cylinder on 2001

[Wildfire]

I have a Factory Racing Slave Cylinder, in black, nice and shiny. Can this be used on my 2001 M600? I've heard that you can run into clutch drag issues post 2000?

I've one fitted to my '02 S4 and although there is no drag, the original 16mm master is struggling to move enough fluid to engage it. It does work fine but the span adjustment is set to full so that I can get enough movement. I am probably going to fit some larger master cylinders at some point but I think the only option is to go radial 999 or later type.

Cheers Darren. The bike goes forward, no drag. Getting Neutral is a bit weird, but that could just be to do with the new rearsets.

If you've got the ability to adjust span that might help. I may have some levers knocking about somewhere that may help if you don't, but the Brembo copies you can get are cheap to buy anyway.

I'd be interested to hear what others have found e.g. what size/type masters work better with these bigger clutch slaves.
