easy pull clutch

[Analog Aardvark]

Hi all. I found this mysterious circlip sitting on the ground as I cleaned up this afternoon--all I did was tighten the chain a touch and put a new rivet masterlink on (after throwing the retaining clip a second time). I didn't have the wheel off or the chain off. I also turned the preload down to 1 so I could compress the suspension to see about the chain tension, but this isn't the little circlip on the preload adjust... that's still there. I had the shock out a couple days ago, but I've swept the garage pretty well since and I'd be surprised if it managed to escape the broom. The pic's a touch blurry b/c of my crappy camera, but I think it's sufficient. I scanned it and it's here. http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5634/klrcirclip3rz.jpg [img]http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5634/k ... rz.jpg> alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> It might be nothing, but I'd hate to have the brake fall off or something. I don't recognize it at all. Thanks for any thoughts. -Luke __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Check this right away! It looks like the e-clip from the pin that holds the front footpeg(s) on the bracket. Definitely important if that's the case. They are cheap at the hardware store, I carry an extra. Charles

Charles, Awesome call. I took a look and couldn't remember where I'd seen them before on the KLR. Wouldn't it bite to have a footpeg fall off while on a ride?

Wow, guys, impressive... but wrong. I went down and looked and while this little clip DOES look identical to the ones holding on the footpeg pin, both of the footpegs have their pins and clips intact. Other ideas? -Luke --- cdearl1 wrote:

Luke, Did you use a chain breaker or press? Did the E clip come off of it?

Both of the footpegs? There are FOUR foot pegs on my bike, not two.

Nope, rear footpegs (at least on my bike) have conventional cotter pins. I did 300 miles yesterday including almost 90 miles in the woods, and nothing fell off (that I noticed) but I'd still love to identify this little guy. http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5634/klrcirclip3rz.jpg -Luke --- klr6501995 wrote:

How about the circlip on the preload adjusting bolt itself? I just adjusted mine, and noticed the circlip there. If you have the Clymer manual, page 269 shows it not one, not twice, but THREE TIMES in photos. I don't know for sure the purpose of it, but maybe to hold the bolt itself in place?
