[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 215874, member: 257"] +1 on what WC is saying. Only in rare occasions will the rear of the shaft come out of the pumpkin unless you intend for it to. Everyone was servicing the front of the shaft assemble (only) for quite a while until an FJR owner documented the process for pulling the rear shaft/splines to service the seal and surrounding area. Personal opinion follows: I don't know that I would service the rear splines every tire change, but a good clean, inspection and clean/lube or replacement of that rear seal is something worth doing occasionally. If that is every other tire swap or every other year, or whatever is something that's not specified by Yamaha and left to each owner based on the conditions they find the first time they do it.
