Video of Driveshaft failure on R1200 ... this one on an RS

[Grumpy Goat]

... While @ yamaha we were taught to never pry on a engine case. I saw where he pulls up the BMW info use suitable tool , however your not instructed to pry off the engine cast aluminum case with a hardened steel pry bar.  ...

IIRC, he did not actually show the prying that resulted in the shaft coming loose. If it were me, I would put a thin piece of wood as the bearing surface because, due to the location in way of the "V" of the frame the pry bar would actually be bearing on the frame and not on the engine case.
