Drive shaft turns in all gears but rear tire doesnt has a grinding noise from rear differental

SOURCE: Grinding from rear shaft going into motor

There are two bearings in the assembly. The front is a needle bearing and the back is a ball bearing. One of the two (or both) are probably bad. I don't understand why the brakes would affect the bearing noise. Are you certain the brake pads are not grinding on the rotor?
Can I get a “very helpful” rating on this answer?

Testimonial: "Quick reply. Thnx for the illustration, it helps me to make sense of it."

SOURCE: Removal of motorcycle rear tire/shaft driven

The final drive assembly has to be unbolted from the swingarm and it is removed with the rear wheel. Once the assembly is off the bike, the axle can be removed and the final drive separated from the wheel.

There should be a circlips at the end of the driveshaft.
That circlips holds the shaft IN the differential parts.

If you have still warranty, let it repair by a dealer. The circlips is maybe INSIDE the differential casing and can thus destroy a lot of parts!

SOURCE: how to remove the rear tire with shaft drive

Pull the rear axle, and spacer on the brake side of wheel. Un hook brake rod and brake strut. Position yourself on the brake side of the bike and pull the rear wheel straight out of the final drive housing. Put a little grease on thhe final drive splines upon reinstalling the wheel to aid removal next time.

You should not have to unbolt the final drive assembly. Loosen the rear axle nut, take out the bolt, knock out the spacer , lift the caliper assembly out of the way and hang it by a wire, grab the wheel, and slide it sideways away from the final drive. The wheel should slide right off the spline of the final drive and roll out the back under the fender. If the wheel wont slide past the final drive let the air out of the tire. Be sure to coat the spline of the final drive with moly60 paste available at your local Honda dealer when reassembling.
