Had my '23 RS in for its initial check at 11,500 miles. It also failed and had a new driveshaft installed.
I had mentioned before that this bike had a grumbly/rumbly feeling at highway speeds that neither of my previous 1200's had. Nothing too serious, just noticeable. That feeling is gone with the new shaft. Many friends have had driveshafts replaced with results of no difference to miraculous. I was chalking it up to placebo effect but now I'm not so sure.
