I'm pretty sure the Motorrad engineers are learning something that every redneck with a lifted pickup truck knows. Universal joints are a marvel of engineering, but don't do well at big angles. Particularly with the GS's, the angle from the gearbox to the rear drive can be pretty steep. Not a great recipe for u-joint longevity. And rather than making the part serviceable, BMW uses a pressed in u-joint that forces a driveshaft change. Whatever, BMW is standing by it so it's not that big of a deal.
