Drive Shaft seized on the final drive splines

[Grumpy Goat]

Good morning,
RS now all back ready to ride and I have recovered from kneeling on the garage floor.
This drive shaft issue seems like a shot in BMW's foot as the USP on the R and K series is the shaft drive. Yet NO maintainace at all....

Alan, I could not agree with you more on this. So dumb to not put an inspection requirement at least, as well as a re-greasing. So many other lesser checks are in the maintenance but not this. They dropped the ball on this.

BTW, I had to look up what "USP" meant - "A unique selling proposition (USP) refers to the unique benefit exhibited by a company, service, product or brand that enables it to stand out from competitors. "[Wikipedia]
