Title: '13 M1100 EVO - where does this circlip belong? Post by: hercpilot on November 22, 2021, 10:12:22 PM Greetings esteemed Duc riders,
Been reading up for months, first post here. I picked up my '13 Monster in July and just did most of the 7500 mile service in my garage with LT Snyder's manual. Upon putting the clutch cover back on, I found a 5mm ID circlip (E type with 3 points of contact) on the ground. I searched all over the bottom end, could not find where it belongs. Any suggestions are much appreciated! FWIW, after some consideration I took it for a ride sans circlip. No indication anything was wrong, but I don't like riding knowing something isn't secured.

rear brake plunger area. Or on the throttle bodies.... Title: Re: '13 M1100 EVO - where does this circlip belong? Post by: koko64 on November 23, 2021, 03:30:54 AM Hopefully only off the bottom of the footpeg pin. Check each one.
A special model and the pinnacle of aircooled desmodue development imo. Welcome. [beer] Title: Re: '13 M1100 EVO - where does this circlip belong? Post by: ungeheuer on November 23, 2021, 03:31:47 PM I like Koko64's suggestion on the e-clip.
Even tho he's wrong about EVO being the pinnacle of the 2 valve form. Not enough spark plugs ;D Title: Re: '13 M1100 EVO - where does this circlip belong?

Only weenies need more than one per cylinder. :-*Even tho he's wrong about EVO being the pinnacle of the 2 valve form.

1 plug or 2 per cylinder, it’s way more pinnacle than my last bike, BMW F650 (one CYLINDER). Consider me converted. Title: Re: '13 M1100 EVO - where does this circlip belong?

Title: Re: '13 M1100 EVO - where does this circlip belong? Post by: hercpilot on December 08, 2021, 10:26:07 PM Well I poked all around the underside and through the frame tonight. The circlip is the same one that retains the footpeg hinge pins (good call koko!), but those are all accounted for. Rear brake and gear changer pedals are intact, hunt continues... when not chasing my 2- and 4-yr old around the house.
