Lots of Eigers out ther with the same driveline design over the past 7 years - never heard of this being a problem.

What ATV or 4x4 truck for that matter has fully enclosed drive shaft? If you wanted to change a U joint or CV joint it would make a easy job hard.

Debris won't get past that seal, unless it's damaged, and still unlikley due to the oil leaking keeping stuff out. Just like every other car or truck out there.

Apparently, in your vast fountain of knowledge you forgot to look at a lot of the Honda atv's.

By the way, how old are you anyway?
