After adjusting the valves, the piece in the picture was laying on the ground.
I have looked at the valve assembly diagram and cannot find this part. I do recall releasing one valve to the point where it kind of drooped.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks.
. I will look. Since the part was lying right below the motor and since the valve assembly on the 2009 does not have clips it is most likely the from the foot pad. Thank you buddym3
A 2009 DOES NOT HAVE BUCKET AND SHIMS! Like others have said, look around else where to see if you can find a place for the circlip. It did not come from the valve adjustment procedure, good luck!
Thank you for taking the time. But as stated below it's a 2009 without the shim and clip. Cheers!

I don't see how the cam chain tensioner rod circlip could come off during a valve adjustment. If it did come off it would end up I'm the crankcase (my guess).
You could have your dealer see if they could get specs to that and compare to your part.
Perhaps a long shot - Looks a lot like the clip that keeps the side side switch in place.
