Got Shaft Rot.... again WTF

[beaver]

unless its rusted solid to the BB splines, then you'd have to pull it from the gearbox end and pull the BB and the shaft out... but you don't have to remove the arm at all!!

however if it was due to a component failure....... It would not be covered!! so what does the warranty cover.. only the bit's that don't fail

£500 buys you a lot of tools ... just saying

Really inspires confidence in BMW.
They have making shaft drive bikes for decades.
And they still corrode.
Do KTM and have the same quality issues?

 

[malcopopolo]

Could always ask an independent garage to undertake the work?

Always have to be better.................. if I do mine in 3 hours I will be happy, Warlord was quoting for a first timer..........so better to check work twice over to be sure it is done to spec.

Seriously though Warlord. Is it just a case of disconnecting the drive shaft behind the first rubber gaiter near the gearbox and pulling all through? Because the technician thinks he has to take the back end off the bike!!

Neil it is actually not a hard job, as basically if their is corrosion as they say, it will only be at the bottom, Warlords was corroded he cleaned it up, the whole shaft, but you may only need to do the bottom of the shaft, see video below, it is not a hard job, just take your time, plenty of videos to see how it is done.
