Looking for clutch lever push pin

Hi,

I have a Guzzi Breva v1100 and loving the ride. However, I am not loving the condition the bike has been allowed to get into. It was left untouched for a long time and so has some corrosion damage.

I am trying to replace clutch and brake levers with some aftermarket ones however the push pin from the clutch lever is corroded and I am unable to remove it.

So far I am able to replace it only by ordering the entire clutch lever which seems like a waste.

Does anyone know of a place I can get just the push in and its connecting part that slots into the clutch lever of part#ap8118659?

thanks in advance,
Aaron
 
Best bet would be lever from a breaker. Even a damaged one would do as all you need is the pin part.
 
Hi Aaron

Your question is very timely, as I just changed my clutch lever 2 days ago. Like you I thought the "push pin" was corroded. It turned out not to be the case, and having removed it I cant see how it would ever be corroded.

There is a grub screw ( which requires1.5mm allen key to remove) in the bottom of the barrel, which is locklite -d in place. Turn the lever over and you should see it.

Once you remove grub screw the pin will screw out. Saying that you will need to heat up the pin to remove. As my propane torch was out of action, I put the lever into the oven (cook for 10 minutes at 260C) and when hot, it was easy to remove grub screw, pin etc. It really is a simple thing to change.

Good Info!

Putting it in the oven sparked a memory.
Used to change out the ring gear on flywheels from stick shift cars & trucks.
I could cut/pry off the old unit & the new unit went into the oven & the flywheel went into a deep freezer.

My very understanding wife used to laugh at me but never got upset, well most of the time.
 
Thanks for the replies!
It was the grub screw that was corroded and those 1.5mm holes are very easy to round off.

I asked because one of the suppliers I talked to in the UK told me he once found a US company that made these parts independently as they can never be found sold seperately from the clutch lever. He couldn't remember the name of the company though.

I managed to found a supplier with one in stock who also gave me a decent discount. £50 for the sake of this damn grub screw and my amatuer skills. Doh.

Next time I will try the oven :)

Can we please invent a set of alan keys that freezes and contracts the screw it is applied to?

Thanks again and happy riding :)

I always do valve guides that way. Heads in oven, new guides in freezer.
