How many of you have not had to replace their magura clutch slave cylinder?

Mine went out at 20 hours on my 2017 guy parked next to me today with a 2019.5 factory edition had his go out.... cant belive they still ship bikes with a faulty part. I am yet to meet anyone that didnt have theirs fail.

Pop the piston out, go to an auto parts store, get a nitrile oring and put it back together. Done

I bought the oberon and it's worked flawlessly.

Crazy how many people I've heard with issues

But do they do it with an upgraded part? I went with the KTM part as it's supposed to have better longevity.

Why single out the 16-up FC450? Is it different than KTM (pick a model)? I’ve got three and zero issues, nor do I know anyone that’s had an issue. Must be luck of the draw.

KTM uses Brembo, Husky is using Magura.

Known husky prob. Ktm uses brembo, hence the reason you havent had problems...

Yep, it's a problem on only the husky 450 and 501.

Just saw that the 450 FC Rockstar Edition 2019 has a new part no. for the cpl. slave cylinder (#26632061044) and also the piston (#26632066000) and O-ring (#26632067000) are available as single part now... seems that Husky has reacted to the failures in the field on the previous X-ring version...
