To be honest with you it wouldn't be worth the effort. My GSX-R has a hydraulic clutch and the pull on the my GS700 cable actuated clutch is lighter than the GSX-R.

replace the old cable with a new one and lube it up with some moly lube before you install and see if that helps.
the Hydraulic stuff is a big PIA and i don't think anyone here has done it.

You have a lot more clutch control with cable, like said install new OEM cable. Check to make sure someone didn't put heavy duty springs in it.

I remember seeing a write-up on a hydraulic conversion, but I don't remember if it was on this board. 
What I do remember about it was that the guy had to do a LOT of fabrication and adaptation, then admitted it might have not been worth the effort. I think he did it as part of a school project, so it was worth the grade that he got.

I have been considering a swap to hydraulic, my reason is with clip ons the cable routing has been horrible. Primarily due to the cable being too long.
The parts I am selecting are ZX12R master and late model Suzuki slave, probably from a Busa since I have a few of them.
Reason for the Kawi master is that it still has a mirror mount on it.
I was hoping to get this done this fall but my playtoys need to go back in the shed cause I am getting very busy with paying work.
I think I will collect some later model clutch cables over the winter an see if I can get a suitable length one to do the job.

There is a company that makes a kit to convert to a hydralic clutch but i have not seen it for older bikes. Sorry i can't remember the name but do a search for it on google and you should find it.

I have seen some hydraulic cable kits. Looks interesting as a retrofit. The ones on ebay are marketed for pit bikes. Are there more substantial one out there?
