    WHILE DRIVING MY MOTORCYCLE I SUDDENLY NOTICED A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE DURING DECELERATION. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE MID DRIVE SHAFT FAILED AND THE NUT HOLDING THE U JOINT ON HAD BROKEN OFF. MY MOTORCYCLE HAS 27000 MILES ON IT. IT TURNS OUT THIS FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VSTAR 1100 SHAFT DRIVES FOR MANY YEARS.
