[alfa] clutch update #2

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I removed my clutch fork to get a look at this notorious pivot pin, and it 
looked like it was sorely wanting lubrication (see 
http://warehouse.closeoutsuperstore.com/joe/clutch/).  Although metal had 
been removed from the fork, the pin looked like it was all there, so I 
decided to grease the fork and reinstall it.  The squeaking and 
rough-feeling clutch operation are gone, and the pedal effort is noticably 
reduced.

While I elected to keep the original pin in place rather than replacing it 
preemptively with an OEM one tomorrow, it does not look like it would be 
fun to deal with a broken one.  I definitely think I'd spring for the fancy 
aftermarket Kiwi replacement part that was mentioned on the digest a few 
weeks ago, if only they were available by some means other than an 
international telephone call (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, Bill, 
Andy).
