Drive Shaft seized on the final drive splines

[Grumpy Goat]

I did not look up Jim Von Baden's thread.
I remember on the K1300S you could move the driveshaft back and forth without popping it loose from the snap ring. The R1200 is probably the same.
Maybe with the limited suspension travel of the RS compared to the GS/GSA the front splines will not be damaged.

That would be my hope. The reason for the paralever is to try and keep the radial length and angle constant through the arc swing.
