New member, old XS400D!

That's bizarre that those bearing half clips are referred to as circlips. I wouldn't classify them as clips any more than I'd classify my bike as a mass transport vehicle! Mais, c'est la vie. :shrug:

How many of those half clips are there in total for the 4 bearings. it looks like there is room for 2 around each bearing. I think i maybe lost some while tearing mine apart. I have 4, 2 small and 2 large
 
I can't remember exactly but if you look at the parts schematic for the case you should be able to see them. As I recall it was only 2 for the large bearing and 2 for the small. Not all of them required the half clip. I suspect it's just to keep those main bearings for sliding out of the case.
