Whoooosh
We have the 'premium' RTW GS
You 1200 WC riders just have the 'cheapened by accountants' imitation of a decent GS
Aye, they don’t make ‘em like they used to, lad

Agreed
The front gaiter is the usual culprit on the oil cooled 1200 models... It's strange, you rarely get a pre 2008 model with a split gaiter but the post 2008 gaiters are always splitting.
Anyone would think they changed the material for a cheaper version.
Surface rust
The drive shafts on rear wheel drive cars and trucks are not protected by a housing, they are exposed to the elements
The universal joints and sliding joint are designed to operate under these conditions
It does look like a rusty mess and a bit of paint would have been nice, but it’s not meant to be visible
The inside of the UJs will be perfectly OK and I don’t think the splines on the FD slide as it’s a paralever (visibly they are too short to be a sliding joint)
A bit of grease on the splines to stop them rusting and off you go
Absolute rubbish - i'll post a picture later of the damage caused due to water ingress and splines that have worn away due to rust and U/J's that have dried out and failed.'
Don’t know for sure I’ve never looked
Obviously, but that didn't stop you from offering an opinion
Try this one.. from my original post where lots of people said grease was not required

Grease it with what ? Straburag or Vaseline...
No need to grease it just check your rubber...
Still waiting for you to answer if you've ever ridden an H2 SX or been to Africa ? Quite simple really, yes or no.

Think I will wait on Warlords or beavers answer, at least we know his bike, and the man...........
No Arsey I have never ridden an H2 because fat blunder-buses don't interest me...No need to go to Africa either as we have enough negroes here...
But I have ridden the Afreeka Tween...Valium on wheels...

Thought the USA brought them by force to the USA years ago, and that makes them probably more American than yourself, if you are really American, or Mexican or maybe just a troll.

I used Honda M-77 Assembly Grease on final drive and shaft splines.
I used White Lithium Grease on base of final drive nut, surrounding immediate area.
I used a bead of White Lithium Grease on rubber gaitor seal points so it squishes and makes a water resistant layer when fixed back in position.

Arsey the H2 is super-boring unless you like to go fast in a straight line...but then a S1000RR is just as fast but also can handle the twisties...so what is the point ?
Unless you have the SX version that at least gives you hard bags...and the A-T is really the most boring bike I ever have ridden lately...The engine and slow steering....zzzzz But tubed tires can make things exciting when you have a flat at night in the rain 120 miles from home...

Ok,so here's a wacky idea.Why don't you stop posting utter bollox based on wild assumptions ? I know you live in Cali, but as you are possibly not a native, you don't have to know everything like all the rest of them...and before posting your views on a bike such as the H2 SX, possibly actually ride one...then there might be a chance that people may take you seriously...though I very much doubt it.And as for the stereotypical racist bollox.....
Warlord , I'm sure BMW does not recommend to use HONDA lube...while Straburag is red I don't know what the white grease is they use in the factory in Berlin ?
And Arsey just for you but please don't tell no one;I don't only love BMW boxers but also the Austrian corporal with the funny mustache too...
As for the Kawasaki H2 I can already see that this is no motorcycle for me because I prefer tight twisties to boring straights...But I think if Mel Gibson should ever decide to make another Mad Max movie he should use the H2 as ugly and end-timesy it looks.Like only the Japanese can do "designs" like this...
But even Mel is riding boxers nowadays...

WTF has an Austrian with a funny moustache got to do with lubing a shaft, unless you have been lubed and shafted before.

Obviously water came in through the hole in the gator but also noticed that there isn't much of the white sealant on the swingarm. Mine had quite a bit around the edges where the gator seats.
I lubed mine around a year ago but this thread is making me want to check it again! Although I've ridden in the rain twice in the last 25,000klms on this bike
