During a long stator replacement job I encountered an unlubed, dried, extremely worn propellor drive shaft joint which I replaced for $ 90.00 or so. I didn't tear into the rear differential yet to see the looks of it, but I can guess it ain't good. Does the factory rebuild those or do I have to fork out a thousand bucks for a new one? By the way, I bought this bike because everyone writes about the low maintenance and reliability of it.....I've yet to understand just what it is they mean. It's a great ride and I actually like the looks...but I've had the motor rebuilt twice in the first few months of it's life (under warranty) and nothing but a bunch of stupid problems and then the stator replacement and now the drive shaft. What's up with the engineers at Kawasaki that can't get it right after 20 years?
