THE SPLINES ON THE FINAL DRIVE GEAR AND FINAL DRIVE FLANGE WERE COMPLETELY DRY AND RUSTED. *MR HONDA FAILED TO LUBRICATE THE FINAL DRIVE SPLINES, DUE TO THEIR LACK OF MENTIONING OF THE CRITICAL MAINTENANCE IN THE MANUAL.

THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE EXCESSIVE WEAR WAS DUE TO A LACK OF MAINTENANCE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT OF THE WORN PARTS. (MODEL/GL 1500CF VALKYRIE INTERSTATE) *SC *JB
