the KTM's used to use the Magura system not sure if they still do.
As far as the kit for other manufacturers, I hear they are great.
If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.

I have one on my 2000 KTM 300 EXC.  A few years ago, I switched to a "newer" master cylinder.  I switched because the pull on the only one was the same as a cable.  With the newer version, the pull is so much easier.  it's like butter....   ;D

I had a Magura on my RM250.  It was nice.  I bought it to help get an easier pull for hare scramble racing.  It surprisingly didn't help it much.

Pros:  Adjustable reach. No clutch cable drag or notchyness when it's dry.  Hardly any maintenance.
Con:  Short lever throw - it would make my already draggy clutch more prone to drag when the bike was in gear.

I just removed it recently and went back to a cable setup for more adjustability and that longer lever throw.

I had the Magura on both my KTM's and Berg.Easy pull,consistent,reliable.I changed the fluid every year with the good stuff(Magura Blood) and never had an issue.Definitely a thing of beauty.I think the later KTM's went to Brembo's but don't quote me on that  ::)
