'05 GS 1200, 45,000miles. my final drive is leaking badly - NOG are replacing it (the final drive) under warranty as the "seal" is internal and can not be repaired / replaced.

might be a completely different problem with your bike of course. . . . .

easy with the right tools - i.e. Airgun and the special socket that undoes the castelated ring.

Also replace the inner metal ring that fits inside the seal if you do it.
