I don't know the state of the splines (front or rear).
I don't know how it's supposed to sound or feel.
I don't really know the history of the bike.
I don't know any of the warning signs of a failing driveshaft?
Does it just seize up, lock the rear wheel and put me down at 200 km/h, or does it let me know something's wrong?
I talked to a shop today and they said 500$ to inspect it, plus 800$ if they have to replace it.
Is this something I can check on my own? (I don't have a garage, so I'd be doing the work out on the street with a minimal tool set).
Thanks.
