There’s a thread here where someone posted a link to a huge bag of snap rings at McMaster-Carr. I bought one.

I use 13mm stainless steel spiral rings from McMaster Carr. Part number 92347A110 they have more than double the side load capacity of the standard 13mm external snap rings and they do not require external snap ring pliers to remove them or install them. I use a small flat screwdriver to do so. I like the stainless-steel rings due to the corrosion resistance as regular carbon steel rings can develop rust on them because of moisture and a rusted retaining ring becomes weak from rust pitting and there is a greater chance of retaining ring failure.

Posting the link. Thanks for the find!

Has anyone serviced the secondary clutch yet? I've asked before. There's nothing in the service manual. On the Yamaha machines its a 1600 mile interval. Looking at the Kawasaki clutch, its the same design. I find it hard to believe that no one is servicing the secondary on the KRX. What about the guys over 5000 miles?
