Don, I have a 08 R1200R and have had no issues with the final drive.
I also have a R75/6, with 175,000 miles on it. The final has gone the distance. The drive splines on the ring gear do wear and are repairable. It has 4 tapered bearings all lubed by the gear oil.
Other than repairing the ring gear splines at 90,000 miles the drive has been stone reliable.
Maybe BMW should revisit the design.
