Drive Shaft seized on the final drive splines

[Grumpy Goat]

Reading that ADVRider thread ... lost of good snippets in there.

One thing I was thinking about (and just read someone have the same idea) is to lube the final drive splines every 12k miles when the final drive oil is changed, and also inspect the rear U-joint as well. If this is kept up then any 12k worth of rust should not cause a total seize-up as on Mike's RS. Not having done this myself but having watched several videos since Darrell's and Mike's experiences, It would be a good idea to also inspect the front splines as well.

I have a FD oil change coming in less than 4k miles when I hit 48k on my bike and I just ordered the Castrol molybdenum disulphide paste and a bottle of silicone paste with a nifty applicator brush.
