Perhaps the main shaft clutch support circlip was crushed ( common ) and it eventually decided to shear right off ?
Enjoy .

If the circlip had failed then the nut would have been loose.The circlip is the only item in the stack up that I haven't inspected directly. If it was gone the clutch basket would be able to slide on the main shaft. Right? It only has 1-2mm of movement.
Good, it was just that your previous picture seemed to show a plain plate behind the (removed) pressure plate so I thought I'd mention it.These are the plates
So are you able to move the whole clutch assembly along the mainshaft axis? I don't mean wobble.The circlip is the only item in the stack up that I haven't inspected directly. If it was gone the clutch basket would be able to slide on the main shaft. Right? It only has 1-2mm of movement.
So I have a choice of taking the basket and crank sprocket off to inspect the circlip (and deal with putting it back together correctly) or accept that the circlip is ok, stop digging and get on with reassemly & readjustment.
Mentioned in post three.So are you able to move the whole clutch assembly along the mainshaft axis? I don't mean wobble.
if there's any axial movement at all it needs further investigation; apart from the possibility of a displaced circlip, the retaining nut on the opposite end may have worked loose.
So the timing side nut sandwiches the timing side mainshaft inner bearing race to that surface?
Loctite is a good way to stop this from recurring.I think we have the cause. I was able to tickle the timing side nut through the lever housing. Timing side nut is loose. Will go in and tighten it with locktight later today.
So now we can have a discussion around using the correct tool to tighten the lockring!I think we have the cause. I was able to tickle the timing side nut through the lever housing. Timing side nut is loose. Will go in and tighten it with locktight later today.
