[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1144710, member: 329"] The Yamaha Venture touring bike came out in 1983 and had the same splines on the end of the driveshaft. They also had a grease fitting in the swing arm area that was supposed to lube the splines.....problem was that the grease never reached the splines and they started failing at about 40k miles. I read about it when my Venture had 30k miles and the splines were badly worn by then. The mechanic that checked the splines was totally unaware of the problem but said he was going to start checking the splines on every Venture when he changed the rear tire. I sold the bike at 53K and heard the splines failed at 58k. [/QUOTE]
