1200 clutch mystery part

[aebbern]

I was re-assembling the clutch in my 1200 after it being apart for for a few years.  In a baggie, along with the clutch actuating bar and snap ring (2nd photo below) was this part:




I have no idea what it's for or where it goes.  Poured through my parts manual and Andy Wagner's catalog - can't see any reference to it... any ideas what it's for?

That looks like a piston circlip, I hope you haven't left one out??????????????????

Output shaft seal retainer clip.  ie Inside the front final drive sprocket.

Steve wins the prize......

Andy, it is part number 46-54    https://www.laverda-paradies.de/shop-1000-46-en.html

which is the metal circlip which holds the outer seal on the 5th gear output shaft, right behind the front chain sprocket. Nothing to do with the clutch.

Thanks Steve & Paul - just pulled the sprocket off and sure enough, the clip was missing.  Not sure why I bagged it with the clutch actuation bar...

well it is to do with the clutch, it retains the seal which stops oil from escaping down the  clutch pushrod, where it exits just before contact with either the clutch slave cylinder or the clutch operating lever.
