[QUOTE="Colin24, post: 822227, member: 438"] Nice catch CanadianFJR. And just in the nick of time! My rear gearcase is apart and on the workbench as I write this. I ordered all the parts last week, they came in yesterday and I was going to put it back together this weekend. Got your email giving me a heads up. so first thing I do out in the shop is grab the coupler and inspect. And YUP. There's the grove. And a very close look with a magnifier (to me) tells me the groove is worn in and NOT machined in. So the gearcase stays apart for another week or two 'till I can get a new coupler. And Again, thanks for catching this one and the personal heads up! I likely would of buttoned everything up and wouldn't have had a problem. At least untill I had 5 or 10 K on the repair and then it would have likely started oozing again. And that would have occured right in the middle of an 11 day ride I am doing next June. Thanx - Colin [/QUOTE]
