Well I meant an implied ease of options available but yeah that's what I mean, I wish more and more manufacturers would switch to belt, chains is so archaic and nasty lol.
Shaft is cool too, but they are often much heavier than both chain and belt drives.
Not only that, but you lose more HP in a shaft system.
I don't know what maintenance is required on the FJR shaft, if any. I am well aware of BMW's shaft issues. Having owned two of them, I will never own another shaft drive bike. Chains last a long time and they are easy to inspect. Yes they are messy, but I can live with, given the present alternatives.
