Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On these model the shaft on the final-drive going into the rear differential is not oiled nor has enough grease to last over 10k miles. I have had this bike serviced at every service interval and greasing the splines is not in the service. Nor can they be greased when the tire change is performed without having to remove the 4 bolts that hold the drive shaft in the cover of the differential. …”
