R1200RT-P 2013 shaft drive removal is a PITA!

Post by 1gewehr »

FYI, the driveshaft on my 2014 R1200RT-P (K26 oil-head 2013-spec, NOT WC) can NOT be removed from the rear past the final drive. The inside of the swinging arm is too narrow to allow the wide parts of the driveshaft to pass through to the rear. The whole swinging arm must be removed in order to pull the driveshaft out from the front. That's just as well for me, because I saw the front boot had a small tear and needed to be replaced.
