Yesterday I pulled my front sprocket from my 2017 f3 limited. What I found was that Can Am put Kruger paste on the splines at the factory. So all I did was clean the splines and coat them with loctite moly paste. I then cleaned the bolt and coated it with loctite blue 242 and torqued it to 96 ft pounds. By the way I had 6200 miles on it. Bought it last October.
