Honda FN2 08 Reg - Drive Shaft Question

[Stevie19]

Hey folks how's it going?

So I'm picking up a nice 08 plate next week, looks in great condition but one thing that came to mind was the drive shaft on the FN2s which I hear was the same for the EP3s, they apparently get quite weak over time and it's a common problem that the drive shaft pops eventually when shifting from high rev 1st into 2nd gear?

So I'm thinking the first upgrade to do asap really even if there's no problem with the current factory fitted drive shaft would be to buy the J&R drive shaft parts and pay for a mechanic to get it swapped, what's you thoughts should I be concerned about getting that done asap to avoid a common problem like that or not so much?

thanks!
