What is the "fat rod" solution to the fluid transfer issue? First I'm seeing of it. I've been watching my bike for a while, don't see any evidence of transfer, but would like the knowledge just in case.

You replace the factory clutch rod with an aftermarket clutch rod that's machined to be much thicker than the factory rod. This new rod fits in the hole perfectly whereas the factory rod has a ton of slop where the fluid bypasses and goes into the primary.

Everyone who's installed a fat rod says it works perfectly.

Got a link to the aftermarket clutch rod we're discussing?
