Drive shaft is now a consumable
#21
Thanks for the recommendation.

I ended up calling So-So and after checking, they confirmed my bike is part of the service campaign.  Said I was registered with MotoRad and couldn't offer me a reason why I didn't get the letter.  I'll bring the bike in two weeks from now and have the shaft tested.

Is my understanding that they should test the drive shaft (and lubricate) even at 20,000 miles?

Initial inspection/lubrication at 12,000 miles and each 12 after that with replacement each 36,000 miles regardless for the life of the bike.
My '23 RS had the shaft replaced at the initial 12K inspection due to no lube from the factory.
