40% less clutch effort sounds good, I wonder if that will really be the case? :Looks like they plan to start shipping in a couple weeks - subscribed...

Thanks OP!

The size of the piston looks like the 2014-2016 OEM Actuator. It's been asked before, but never answered, would using the old style actuator (2014-2016) on a 2017s result in reduced effort?

That OEM actuator is like 170 bucks or something. Probably too expensive for a science project.

When the piston size increases but the amount of fluid being pushed to activate it doesn't you get less travel on the piston with the same volume of oil at the lever, will affect clutch throw and maybe shifting depending on individual bikes, wear and existing adjustments. Same premise as changing brake calipers with bigger pistons, needs a mastercylinder change to compensate, all about volume of fluid.

Love the idea but we'll see as some feedback comes in.

That's a good point and you are absolutely right. I went from a 2 piston brake caliper on a slide pin to a 4 Piston Brembo and with the original master cylinder the front brake lever came all the way back to the throttle grip and the bike only slowed down. I needed a bigger Master Cylinder.

The older actuator uses a different hydraulic hose than the current actuator. I know the older hose fitting won’t work in the 2017 actuator, but I’m not sure the late model hose fitting won’t work in the earlier actuator. I have one of older master cylinders and actuators so I might see if it will work sometime. If you have to buy the older actuator and hydraulic hose you will spend more than you would for the AIM actuator.
