The Gs 850 I recently obtained has a stubborn rear end. Very stiff when I roll it.
Why?

Please don't suggest that I place tranny in neutral!:-D

850 don't have chains (outside the engine cases) as all of them are shaft-driven.Originally posted by 80GS1000 View Post
Why shouldn't we suggest placing it in neutral? :shock:
Try neutral. If that solves your problem, then you have a dragging clutch.
If that does not solve your problem, check/change the hypoid oil at both ends of the driveshaft. There is a gear box at the back of the transmission that requires removal of the shifter cover to access for service. Then, also change the fluid in the final drive.
The rear wheel will never spin freely, like you would expect on a chain-driven bike. It should turn with minimal effort, but will stop as soon as you stop applying pressure to make it turn.
Where are you in Central oHIo? Might not be too far for me to come take a look-see. 8-[
