THE DIFFERENTIAL ON MY DRIVESHAFT ON KAWASAKI ,2000, VULCAN CLASSIC 1500 - E HAS BEEN MAKING STRANGE NOISES FOR SOME TIME. DEALERSHIP AND KAWASAKI ITSELF STATED THAT SOME NOISE FROM THE FINAL DRIVE IS NORMAL. I FEEL IT IS EXCESSIVE. WEB SEARCHES HAVE TURNED UP MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT ULTIMATELY LED TO OIL LEAKING AND OTHER FAILURES. A CATASTROPHIC FINAL DRIVE FAILURE COULD BE DEADLY.
