A little lube. .........

If you own a bike with a shaft final drive, have you ever lubed it?
I'm not talking about changing the oil in the final drive, but actually pulling the drive shaft and lube the splines. Most manufacturers don't put any on from factory but over time this will take its toll and is not a cheap fix.
Most final drives start around  $1000.00 for parts alone.
So if you have a shaft, do yourself a favor and lube it up.

My shaft gets lubed regularly,  sometimes I let someone else do it , but never paid to have it done.

But I do have a question. Is that a lift on a lift you have there?

It is. I'm too old to work on the floor. LOL

One of my employee's. Great guy from Jamaica that rode to Gymkhana with me last year. I fixed it as a favor.
Green Pond Moto has been closed for a while now.
