Cush drive splines, rear hub splines, rear shaft splines. Tomato, tomoto.
Just be thankful that Mama Kaw changed the rear hub spline gear to something that wears out, and is roughly $900 cheaper then the drive splines in the pig.
(Or at least the last time I looked)
70k on my 01 produced this.
Just pull the spline gear with every rear tire change, now how hard is that. If you ride like most on here, you will need a rear skin seasonally anyway.
Being totally stranded is the result of this wear. Thank goodness I was close to home.
Just my $.02
Ride safe all, and in this new year, please, ATGATT.
