Aprilia Tuareg Shifter Pivot Install

If you have spent much time on social media, you've likely seen the posts about broken Aprilia Tuareg shifter pivot bolts. In the event of a bike drop, the OEM shifter bolt can snap, leaving your shift lever dangling, which makes for a very long ride home!

Our upgraded pivot kit includes:
-A 10.9 grade zinc plated bolt
-Stainless steel pivot sleeve
-Black anodized end cap

The kit takes only minutes to install, giving you peace of mind when venturing off the beaten path! The kit also works on the brake pedal so you're doubly protected!

Thanks for the detailed instruction! Very easy to follow! Having just installed this on my Tuareg I have one concern and that is more related to the Aprilia design than the replacement bolt. You can’t really tighten the bolt enough, at least not to my liking. It was already pretty loose. Tightening makes it difficult, or impossible, for the shifter to return to its normal position. So, while I would shun red thread locker in most situations it’s really needed here or this is likely to come loose eventually. Ugh bad design by Aprilia.

Please change that allen bolt with torx. Torque to 28nM with loctite, say goodbye to removing.

Camel ADV, are you planning to make a skid plate for the Aprilia?
Non of the existing skid plates for Aprilia are good.

@@CamelADV It’s by far the best of metal skid plates. I wish you or someone would make one in UHMW or some other plastic polymer. Lighter and far more absorbent. But if I have to buy metal it’ll be the one you make.

Installed bolts on both sides. In the video I did not see the washer that mine has stock between the shifter lever/brake and the body. I assume it is not used with your bolt. I tried using it, but when torquing down the bolt it is tight and so the shifter lever does not smoothly return to the neutral position. Without the washer it shifts and brakes easily, but has some play in it. Just wanted to confirm that the washer is not used with your bolt.

[@CamelADV]

The washer is not used with the kit.

Along with my skid plate and pegs, I ordered these bolts (love your stuff, by the way). Dumb question; is the type of grease you use important? Dont want to damage the o-rings.

Just installed the both the shifter and brake side pivot bolt from you guys. Easy install. Only one question. The washer that was at the end of the original bolt. Do we need it? From the install video seems like no longer needed. Thanks for a great product.

[@CamelADV]

No washer needed with the new pivots.

Thanks again.

Hey i had a doubt on the extended clutch clutch arm... Using a long arm does the clutch fully engage & disengage?? Any effect on clutch plate or engine?

[@SuperCheesyMan]

I have the extended clutch arm on my Tuareg. No problems so far (almost a year)

[@CamelADV]

We don't sell an extended clutch arm kit for the Tuareg.

[@Gimme_Stitches]

Just ordered a T7 brake, shift lever, and fork guard. Any T shirts?

[@CamelADV]

We don't have any apparel at the moment. Currently, we're looking for a new print shop.
