Title: Daily Puzzler....Identify this part
Post by grim on 04/05/07 at 19:53:20

The question....Where does this come from?  Anyone recognize this C ring?  I found it on my "parts" table with no home.  I started off with an empty table so...I am pretty sure it goes somewhere.  I can't seem to find it on the schematics in the manual....Hoping someone knows...Thanks

UPDATE: placement found.  Thanks all

looks like that C-ring used to be an O-ring!

is it metal?

C ring was not an O-ring...the edges are rounded and no signs of breaking .  it is metal.  It even has some kind of "star pattern" imprints on one side as if pressed against a "star" washer?

this is part of the  "Limiter Assy" or Starter Idle Gear No. 1
In the manual, it is a solid piece, therefore not in the schematics.  At BikeBandit.com, it shows my piece but not in the ten pieces it actually is.  Showed just as the Limiter Assy so you can't see this C ring.

I only said that cuz out of the engines I have seen inside of, I can't remember ever seeing anything like that.
Is it flat like 1/2 washer? What do the ends look like? I would want to have a look using a magnifying lens if I wasn't dead sure the ends were factory. Page 3-42 in Suzuki manual shows the tranny washers & circlips & I am not seeing anything close to your pic.
My eye says that piece is just shy of 1/2 circle.Seems the ends are still pinted out just a tad. Maybe I am seeing things. I would measure the distance at the ends & then stand it up & measure from table to highest point on the hump & see if the long measurement is twice the short one. If not, it's not exactly 1/2 circle which would make me think it's a broken something. Unless, it has a twin & they sit opposite each other on a shaft, but why? I don't think I get it.. anyone see a pattern here?


Well, my curiosity got the better of me. I got my callipers & measured that thing. Stuck a piece of tape on the monitor to be the table top & got .74 to the top of the hump. The length was 1.475. I can figure the measurement was off 1/2 thousandth doing this & call it 1.48 in the picture.

That dime is liable to get ya in trouble if ya try to spend it. Looks kinda fishy at 1.64 inches. Real ones are .704, I get the real part at about .635 end to end.

I am not seeing anything in the manual even close to that part.

It's cool.  I don't see it in manual either....screw it, I am happy with where I think it goes....if not....new engine baby.....

Gotta love that attitude! Glad ya found it. If ther's other stuff just like it & it fills a gap, it's surely right. Good going.

th camshaft c ring scares me.  It's obviously fine when the head cover it on...  but when you got it off, it can easily slip out and get lost.  and if you never noticie it's gone...

cam shaft C ring is much larger.  I have that one sitting next to the cam shaft.

That looks more like a circlip or snap ring.  You sure that part isn't the camshaft retaining clip?

I know, I actually lost one and rode for a couple months without it installed (had a rally to go to and couldn't wait).

The darn thing keeps the camshaft gear from rubbing the headcover....I got the marks to prove it ;D
