Reducing the effort at the clutch lever

For my old Stelvio 4V (m.y. 2010) I have bought:

  1. the specific lever from Bolcato (http://www.bolcatoracing.com/prodotto/raccordo-per-leva-frizione/)
  2. the modified clucth actuator from Ellemotors
I'm using the parts above since almost one year and my Stelvio-life has changed. The effort is reduced of more than 40%. (I would say 50%!)
No more pain at the hand/wrist when driving in a traffic jam or in the city, as well as in offroad. :cool:

Drawback: you will have a little longer lever-run (maybe around 4-5mm), but... who cares? If you're not involved in a race on a track then it is not so important in my opinion.

The crucial part is the actuator from Ellemotors (a little company in the northern part of Italy). You can write a letter in english to the very gentle Barbara to get info about ordering (ellemotors@fastwebnet.it).

I paid the actuator 199,- EUR (via wire-transfer), it is worth every single cent! I would buy it again and again, even tomorrow.

Note:
the actuator can be mounted by any generic mechanic with a minimal experience: basically, you have to take out the old clutch actuator (located on the back side of the motor) and fit the new one.

 
Hi Gimpo,
I wish to make this mod to my Cali 1400, Todd has informed me that it will fit. Do I need to purchase the specific lever from Bolcato or just the clutch actuator ?
Thanks Nitram
 
Uh Uh... this is a technical question about a motorcycle (California 1400) that I don't know so well... :blush:
I've just made some short-run on the California and the clutch seems not so hard as the one mounted on the Stelvio before year 2012.
So I think that mounting a new Bolcato-lever is not "mandatory" like on the Stelvio.

More than this, the crucial component in the Bolcato lever is this one: raccordo per leva frizione, and is not available for the California.

Maybe a "normal" lever that can be finely regulated (i.e. by a little wheel) should do the job.
