Default vstar 1100 middle drive shaft

hello,
I have a 06 vstar 1100 classic with 13k on it just wondering if there are
other owners that have had any problems with the middle drive retaining nut
coming off the end of the shaft and totally destroying the drive shaft
cv joint, I did not purchase an extended waranty the dealer said the price
for th repair was going to be close t $3,000 and yamaha will not cover the
cost stating that the problem has nothing to do with the design of the unit
sometimes it just happens to a few bikes regaurless of the year and mileage of the bike.
Thank you to replies to this post
Mike
