TJScott Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 So, while I was gone, my dad washed out my bottom end for me, but forgot to take out the circlips, now i can only find 2 of them in the yard, they go in every slot right? Could someone show me where to get some new ones? You know, the little half-circlips... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellicoseBanshee Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Cascade will have them, any Yamaha dealership has them/can get them, any online parts store with a yamaha microfiche parts finder will have them (like Yamaha of Troy or Ronnie's). I am sure many other places have them as well, no big deal, just time and a little $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 what cir-clips are you talking about? The c shaped keepers that go on the crank bearings? If so you only have one for each. they do not go all the way around the bearing. Half of the c on bottom end half on top if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 there is only 2. one on the clutch side crank bearing and the other goes on the rear tranny gears on the sprocket side i believe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellicoseBanshee Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Clutch side crank bearing and both secondary gear shaft bearings have the bearing clips, and the primary gear shaft has the circlip on the clutch side bearing.

TJScott Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 wait, so theres only two little c's? sorry, i heard them called circlips. anyways, if theres only two, a bigger one and a smaller one, im not missing any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I cant remember off the top of my head right now but for some reason I want to say that there are two larger ones for the crank??? one for each bearing? But I might be wrong, it's been a little while. then the clips that go on the tranny. Just look at the case halfs, if it has the trench cut out for a c clip then it takes one half of the proper size. You want to try and get one half of the clip on the top case half and one half of it on the bottom case half if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTOYS Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 There are 2 circlips on the drive axle shaft (the one with the sprocket), one Big one and one Small one. Then there is one Big one on the crankshaft (right side). As added security/strength, we often put an extra one on each big one but you dont have too. And yes i do carry em if needed.

BellicoseBanshee Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 This is exactly how mine was when I disassembled my engine (except I seem to remember a snap ring on the primary shaft instead of a circlip )... Clymer's manual is the same way, and if these are wrong, I guess my engine is destined to grenade. :laugh: The bearing retainers are more of a half snap ring rather than a circlip. The terminology used is not consistent with the nomenclature standards I am aware of. I will concede that the name circlip and snap ring can be used interchangeably since both function exactly the same. BTW: I do this as a hobby, and I am not trying to argue with anybody...

BellicoseBanshee Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 As added security/strength, we often put an extra one on each big one but you dont have too. Is it possible to use a circlip/snap ring in place of the bearing retainers? If you are installing two bearing retainers, no wonder your engines are slow, all that extra weight! :woot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, i knew there had to be a reason. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
