Hydraulic Clutch Adjustment for Stelvio and Others, Better Shifting

Can't get enough perpendicularity with screw driver to remove screw. Nut came off easy, but screw must have thread lock on it. Guard will have to come off. Not happening on a work week night :snooze:
 
What size allen does the grub screw take I don't seem to have the right size.

With almost 35,000 miles on my NTX, I have recently noticed some occasional shift lever resistance when shifting. My fix was to adjust the clutch lever to accommodate mechanical wear and provide a deeper stroke of the master cylinder piston to produce a more certain release of the clutch.

Remove the 10MM locknut from the bottom of the lever pivot pin screw and remove the screw.


Remove the lever from the handlebar perch and loosen the grub screw that secures the threaded master cylinder pushrod.


I put an index mark on the pushrod and threaded the pushrod out a couple of turns to tighten up the brake cylinder. Do this in careful increments and be sure to tighten the grub screw when finished.

Clean everything up, apply some new lubricant to the lever pivot pin and hole as well as the pivot connection of the pushrod and reinstall the lever. This may also be a good time to flush and bleed the system with new 5.1 fluid.

If you extend the pushrod too much, you will lose necessary minimal slack in the master cylinder piston that allows it to properly return in its stroke.

This adjustment method can be used to vary the clutch engagement point of the clutch lever either way, early or late. You can see the adjusting threads on the pushrod in this picture.

That pin is part of the clutch lever assembly. You have to order the complete clutch lever to get that pin.

Hi Thanks for your reply
I have managed to get away with it, I've drilled old push pin out and also sized 2mm Alan screw, found M6 half threaded bolt (was lucky to have hardened steel one) And then locked it in my DeWalt drill spinning it full speed made a poor man lathe, philed it and sanded it to the shape of old one push pin, then re tap everything and fitted new little 3mm Alan screw, lots of thread lock on push pin thread as well and with little adjustments she is all sorted and new lovely set of CNC livers fitted.
I did call local MG dealer and new clutch leavier assembly costs £165

Plenty of good aftermarket Levers around Mikolayy, for around £30 or so.

Glad you managed to sort it out, I was just going to offer you one from my spares Stash.
If you end up needing one, just ask, it'll only cost you the postage from Slough.
I presume you're in Southampton UK?

Before I found some spares, I machined one up in my Lathe, 10mins work . . .
