Question

What are hydraulic motorcycle clutches?

Answer 1

I agree with billcarr and cycleshopwest.

Just to add to cycleshopwest's answer, there is no cable to stretch and need constant adjusting.

Answer 2

Hydraulic fluid in a pressure line actuates the clutch instead of a cable. My Wing has it and it is effortless.

Answer 3

They are a form of clutch for a motorcycle!

Answer 4

Uses a master cylinder similar to your disc brake, and is less prone to problems related to binding, improper routing and corrosion like a clutch cable.  It's also easier to pull the lever, although some HD owners claim the V-Rod hydraulic clutch is more difficult than their cable style clutch, but that's because of the additional clutch pressure in the V-Rod.
