(bobo is a small pain in French)
Not so long after I started riding the Norge, I developed a vague pain on the inside of my right elbow that was diagnosed on the period incarnation of this board as a golfer's elbow. Regular application of Voltaren balm reduced the symptoms, and with time they just faded.
I've never found the clutch particularly light, and despite that my hands aren't exactly small, my fingers are proportionally short, esp. the ring and pinky fingers. I think this explains why I have, since a while now, a sore left thumb base joint, esp. on the palm side. This too seems to react to Voltaren, but it hasn't gone away during my recent 1.5 months or so off the bike, so maybe something else is going on (too).
Is this a known (Guzzi) bobo that has a pet name?
More importantly, what options are there to make the clutch operation a bit lighter, or requiring pulling the lever over a shorter distance? I'm going to be getting a new clutch lever, so I might be able to talk my dealer into getting me a Pazzo lever (price is about the same as the Guzzi/Brembo items). I recall that something can be done to the piston but that was rather intrusive and delicate — or is it just a question of mounting a larger piston? I hear this is done on Ducatis.
Good to be riding again, though!
