What owners report
FINAL DRIVE FAILURE (DIFFERENTIAL) WHILE MOVING ON A STRAIGHT COUNTRY ROAD, LOCKING UP BRIEFLY AT 38,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE. AND PINION BEARINGS FAILED AT 30,000 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 650 V-STARS, SOME KNOWN TO FAIL UNDER 15,000 MILES OFTEN CAUSING REAR END LOCK UP AT HIGH SPEEDS.
BIKE DRIVE FAILED AT 16000 MILES REMOVED TIRE AND REAR DRIVE ASSEMBLY TO INSPECT DRIVE SHAFT AND COUPLING. COUPLING AND REAR GEAR ASSEMBLY WERE COMPLETELY STRIPPED AND LACKING ANY SIGNS OF HAVING EVER BEEN LUBED EVEN AT THE FACTORY.
AS MANY HAVE WITNESSED, A BEARING IN THE HOUSING OF THE FINAL DRIVE HAS BASICALLY DISAPPEARED DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW/INCORRECT BEARING USED. I LEAKED OIL, THANKFULLY, AND NOTICED BEFORE THE REAR WHEEL SEIZED UP. WHY IS THIS ITEM NOT ON RECALL?!?!?! *TR

HAVE REMOVE PARTS FROM INTERIOR OF GAS TANK AND AM TRYING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. LIGHT TRAFFIC, RIDER WAS VERY STARTLED, CAUSED BIKE TO SWERVE. *TT
