HAVING SUFFERED MY FIRST FINAL DRIVE FAILURE 30,000 MILES AGO, KNEW I WAS FEELING THE SAME GRINDING VIBRATION THROUGH MY SEAT AS THE PREVIOUS FAILURE. NO CHOICE BUT TO RIDE THE 55 MILES HOME. AFTER THE CYCLE COOLED, I PULLED THE FINAL DRIVE DRAIN PLUG AND OUT OOZED A SILVERY, SLURRY MIXTURE....REMNANTS OF THE FINAL DRIVE BEARINGS. WHILE I AM THRILLED MY CYCLE BROUGHT ME HOME, IT WAS A BIT HARROWING AS IT FEELS AS IF THE REAR WHEEL WAS GOING TO FALL OFF!

THIS ISSUE MAKES THE BIKE UNUSABLE FOR TRIPS AND ANY HIGHWAY DRIVING EXPECIALLY AT NIGHT. *AK
