    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

After finding out the damper splines were pooched, I had forgotten to ask for opinions about the splines on the final drive itself..

Are these what they should look like? Hard to tell without seeing new ones.

Thanks in advance.

They look fine to me. The rear spline (damper splines, as you call them) is notorious for going out.

Thanks Charlie.. I should look up the proper nomenclature before asking about particular items.. you never know when the doo-hickie will need a thinga-ma-bob clevis on the sludge pump.. :eek:

Cheers

Suzuki calls the rear spline a driven hub or gear , I think, but here it's commonly called the former. I don't know why, I just adapt.

I think they purposely made the sline in the wheel softer so the one in the hub wouldn't wear. Too soft maybe with some of them.
 
Just went through this same situation. Earlier in the fall I had the wife on the back and thought I'd mess around a bit, and hit the throttle pretty hard in first gear. Things went bad, felt like my old Ninja when second gear went out, started jerking pretty bad. Thankfully we were on our street so I made it back to the garage. Here's the destruction:





Luckily I just picked up a parts bike and the donor had a good hub.
 
I've never seen one that went completely out. I wouldn't want that to happen at high speed.

Egads!! Good thing I'm replacing mine.. wow, now THAT's chewed up.. ouch
