Front Bevel Gear Case Shaft Bearing - Page 6

Has anyone had issues with this. I am hearing from a Metric mechanic that is is a real issue and can cause the rear wheel to lock up at any speed if it goes bad. He tells me it is such an issue that Kawasaki has created a replacement kit for this item that costs about $500 and plus the cost of installation which requires removing the engine. I have a friend with a Vulcan 900 that seems to be having symptoms associated with this issue going bad. The mechanic said it is an issue with the Vulcan line only. If you "Google" - "Kawasaki Vulcan engine whine" you will get hits that explain this issue more fully. Can anyone shed any information about this issue that could cause our great Nomads to go south while riding them.
