Prairiehammer Posted July 5, 2014 Share #2 Posted July 5, 2014 If you pulled the rear end, perhaps you didn't get the drive shaft into the universal joint and now it is bound up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted July 5, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 5, 2014 I agree. Just because you got the shaft back in, does not mean you got it in the UJoint. It will slide in beside the Ujoint. I know that for a FACT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamak Posted July 5, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 5, 2014 When you think you have the rear drive and shaft installed and before tire install or cap nuts are tight, rotate the drive by hand with bike in neutral, then click it in gear and try to rotate again, without starting bike I might add. This way you will confirm install is correct. I've noticed some members on this forum can do this project in their sleep, for me not so much the first go round!
