Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Here is the damage. Poor ol' girl. It seems she spends more time in pieces on the floor than out on the road.
Looks bone dry. No lubricant.
Honda Moly lube is the stuff for the splines. It has more Moly than any other commonly available grease and is developed specific to the needs of these drive splines. Less than $10 at Honda dealers.
Back to splines, the old style "black" splines are reputed to be the most durable. The "gold" splines, of which this failed one was (even though it doesn't look gold in the photo), were way too soft and fail with regularity. At some point Suzuki upgraded their manufacturing process and created what is referred as the "silver" spline. These are reputed to be good, but someone here recently posted photos of a worn out silver spline so by default the black wins (my view anyway).
I've never heard of one failing at under 6000 miles. I replaced one it around 35000 on an 1100G.
You never know.
At least its easy to fix

Got her fixed today so I'm taking her out to Panama City. They have a big car show every year around Veterans Day.

Hi,
That is excellent news. Were you able to procure a tube of Honda Moly 60 paste? That's the stuff you want to use on the drive splines. Any other regular axle grease will break down under that heat and pressure.
Thank you for your indulgence,

Not yet I used some synthetic bearing grease. I forgot about it until I was putting it together last night at 10:00. I'm going Monday to by some.
