I just wanted to post something positive about rear wheel drives. I have a 03 K1200, 31k miles. Just changed oil and rear wheel drive lube. The rear wheel drive plug magnet only had slush and no metal chips. I put a magnet in the lube that was drained out of the unit and again no metal chips could be seen with the naked eye.
Reading all of the post about rear wheel drive failures has caused me to worry that I am going to experience a failure while on a long trip. Seeing the chip free lube from my bike has given me some ease and hope that mine will not fail. None the less, I will change lube when I change engine oil and get an idea of its condition.
