Recently had my driveshaft replaced under warranty on my 2019 r1250rt. My question is should the driveshaft gear oil be replaced after 600 miles like recommended on a new bike?

Gavj,
I had approximately 40,000 miles on my 2019 r1250rt when they replaced the driveshaft under the recall/warranty that bmw announced the past year or so. There were no issues that I noticed with the drive shaft but when I took it in for inspection they said they were going to replace it. I didn't argue at all with them!
