Going there to collect the bike tomorrow and see what they say in person. I suspect he's trying to bluff me with the offer, but we'll see. I'm still mad as hell about it all. Just looked at my mate's Outlander 650 that's here (without dismantling anything) and I can't see anything too crazy difficult about it.

yeah, on the right side, the axle is a little shorter. jack it up, remove both wheels, unbolt both shocks. break the axle nut loose/leave it snug, and step down on the trailing arm. right side will pop out of the diff. remove axle nut and the axle is out. take off the old boot, clean out what grease you can and put the halfshaft in a vise, hit the inboard joint with a hammer/block of wood to separate it. clean out the rest of the old grease, install new boot and smack the inboard cv joint back on the shaft. new grease, new clamps and reinstall it on the bike. sounds like you will need to find a new dealer, or get used to performing all of your own work, unless it's covered under the warranty.
