Are we talking about the same shaft here?

Hi mate. Are we all on the same page here? I have owned a number of K-series bikes over the years, and one destroyed it's driveshaft internal splines about 3 weeks after I bought it. Ok, it WAS about 12 years old and by the look of it, the splines had never been greased, and I was riding the nuts off it at the time, but it's still something that should be done as regular maintainance. It's actually very easy to do.
Bike on main stand, back wheel off, diff off (up to eight bolts now), pull out driveshaft. Grease inside both ends of the driveshaft, slide back in and swear a bit as you try to get the gearbox output shaft and driveshaft to mate together, diff on after replacing oil, wheel on, ride.
Regards
