I just got done following Leafman's excellent tutorial on servicing the swing arm and shock linkage bearings on CARC bikes, due to lack of lube from the factory [
http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=66579.msg1021807#msg1021807]. He demonstrated on a Stelvio, and I have a 2015 GRiSO, but most everything is the same.
It seems I am missing the circlip on the gearbox output shaft that holds the CARC drive forward coupling in place. I cannot find this part in either the shop manual or the parts catalog. In a post on GRiSO Ghetto, I was advised by the esteemed and wizardly Pete Roper not to ride the bike until said circlip is installed.
I need the help of those in the know... is this a common auto-parts store item, or was it forged in Italy, quenched in blood, and given an MG part number.
I've been trying to post images here of what I'm talking about, but am unable to do so. If you look at Leafman's thread, there are two pics that show the gearbox output shaft; first is without the circlip, the second one WITH it. They are pics #27 and #28 in the thread.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
