 Topic: What size clutch master cylinder?Posted: 04 Mar 2016 at 22:37 |

I'm toying with upgrading to an accossato radial clutch master cylinder on my gen 2 tuono, I'm currently running the stock slave cylinder, but am unsure whether to go for the adjustable ratio one or to go for the 16/16 or 16/18...anybody have any ideas on which is best?

What's different /better about the Accossato's compared with say the RCS Brembo's?
I notice quite a few people are fitting them these days |

Griff fitted the brembo last year at the Scottish service day and it is great -
I am fairly sure it is a 16/18 but would have to check it lightened up the whole system loads |

I'm going with an accossato clutch master because I fitted an accossato brake master over Xmas and I have to say I'm impressed,good build quality, good price(not that much cheaper really but I went for the one with the integral reservoir) and my brakes are f@#king awesome now ... Thinking I will probably just get the 16/16 then, that's what I was leaning towards anyway so thanks guys.

When I last looked both makes more about £190- £210 depending on where they came from and what postage.
I wondered if it was something to do with spares availability given Brembo's reluctance in that direction |

Just found this
http://www.trackdaymag.com/categories/tracktested/638-accossato-master-cylinder-crash-tested So on reflection I think I'll stick with Brembo |

I had seen that Ian, it did make me think before I went for my brake master cylinder but it was on offer when I got it and I really wanted the integrated reservoir that comes with the Accossato.... I'm well happy with its performance so just have to hope it stays crash free🙏, it is daft not to offer any kind of repair/service back up though. |

I suppose if you have folding levers anyway any crash that still causes damage means new cylinders are the least of your worries
 Hopefully you'll never need any spares |

Well the speed I go on trackdays should mean I'm reasonably safe from crashing

did you need to change your brake lines?? I have heard the connection is in a different place/angle on the Accossato Master

Yes, the standard lines don't fit the new master, not on a Tuono anyway, the fitment on the Accossato Master is underneath whereas on the Tuono brembo it's on the end and the 90 degree fitting on the standard lines doesn't fit. |
