2008 yamaha vstar 1100 making loud whine from the middle gear area. Had to stop riding the bike because the middle gear bolt had came lose and the nut was going into the ujoint. Had to have the hole rearend taken apart and put on and retore to shop spec., did put locktite on nut. This is really bad because this would have locked up the rear tire and would have been real bad for the person on the bike.
