In all my years of wrenching I have never needed to replace a drive shaft u joint....well I guess that has changed.
My 07 st1300 with only 65k started displaying signs of u joint failure. Started as a minor vibration, then a slight hesitation when letting out the clutch, to a slight klunk when you spin the rear wheel just before it stops...
Ordered the parts and tools and am getting ready to dive in. Any helpful tips, warnings or words of caution before I start?
If anyone local has replaced one already and would like to watch me fumble my way through it for the first and hopefully last time, feel free to contact me on the white courtesy :call:
I guess I should cut back on all the wheelies
