I'm in the process of changing my slave cylinder but ran into a little problem removing the drive shaft from the tranny of all things. Can anyone throw a tip obviously I've over looked something. Thanks...ed

Remove the right rear foot plate and right rear fairing panel. you should be able to put the tip of a large screwdriver inside the u-joint and on the end of the transmission shaft and pry the shaft off. It should come off pretty easily.

Check the instructions in my signature.

Remove the right plate holding the passenger foot peg. you should be able to put the tip of a large screwdriver inside the u-joint and on the end of the transmission shaft and pry the shaft off. It should come off pretty easily.

+1. I've usually gotten it off with a stout tug.

Or hit it with a hammer! lol

Seriously, there is a small retaining clip on the inside of the shaft. A swift pull or pry with a screwdriver will "pop" it off... The only damage you can do is hitting your head on the underside of the bike... lol
