Mine was fine but still changed my final drive on my last goldwing at 500 ... Seems not just Honda but other manufactures seems to have issues with final drives .
As others have said new final drives are cheap with all those trike conversions ... I bought a complete final drive / wheel / rotor / caliper and driveshaft for 300 bucks ...I was only looking for a wheel but got all the extra stuff .
My new F6B was fine but will dump at 500 just figure piece of mind for break in .
I just changed mine this morning.
I have 5,000 miles and thought it would be a good time to change it.
Just because.

What's the story with the "moly additive" from the factory in the rear diff? Sounds like horseshit to me. Wouldn't the manual specifically say NOT to change the gear oil if the was the case? (My Super Tenere required a rear diff oil change at 600 miles for example--or was it 1000)
this was the case I mean...
Just checked the level on mine this evening, it was topped off. That's a relief.
The most important things in life aren't things.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
When you pulled the plug out was there a gasket or oring on it. It felt like something fell off mine when I pulled it out but I couldn't find anything. Now it looks like it may be leaking a little. No drips but the dust around the plug looks damp. I hope I didn't just create a problem.
The plug has a o-ring on it.
