Driveshaft

Has anyone had a bad u joint on thier Tenere driveshaft ? If so what did it feel like ?

Haven't heard of one and I read nearly every post.

Me also. I don't remember anyone ever bringing that one up...

The shaft and UJ is derived from the one used on the V Max. If it can handle 146BHP without doing a BMW, the 96 HP from this bike shouldn't cause any issues.

Well there is probably nothing wrong with my low mile 13 but to me it feels like there is driveline vibration and it's bugging me after riding vibration free wings for almost 700,000 miles. Lots of folks claim the second generation S10's are much smoother so maybe that's all it is. Maybe I should check into taking a second generation S10 for a test ride.

Going after vibration was a change from the Gen1 to Gen2 bikes, and yours is a Gen1. Easiest and biggest culprits were throttle body sync and clutch baskets.

After Goldwings, moving to a twin which has two 600 jugs is naturally going to have a lot more vibes.

never heard of it.
Had a main shaft seal go (swing arm plug fell out)
And a axle seal.

The drive shaft is from a chevy V8, so should handle the powerrrrr ::015::
