im removing the engine in my derelict 1100.first,can someone point me to wherever in the factory service manual they show how to attack the snap ring,i cant tell if there is one there.second,on the clutch cable,does the lower pin have a cotter pin attached to it,i cant see nor feel one,also where in the manual does it show how to remove the cable?thanks

Clutch cable is right there in the open. Right rear of the motor near the foot peg. Snap ring is back up inside under the front boot. Need bent snap ring pliers to get it. Several pics in threads here. Also in the 1100 manual in the gallery.

I see the the cable just can tell if there is a cotter pin on the pin thru the bottom of the cable

No cotter pin on the clutch cable. After you loosen the adjuster and have enough slack, the cable end will slip out of the pivot through a slot. Loosen it at the handlebar end as well.

The snap ring is inside the drive shaft u-joint, on the end of the engine output shaft. It's kinda tricky, but with a good pair of angled snap ring pliers, it's not too bad. I use bungee cords to hold the boot back.

Sweet! I'm not sure why, but I always have an easier time installing that snap ring than removing it. Go figure...

Clutch lever & clevis

Thanks, Joel! I couldn't think of the word "clevis"...I called it a pivot.
