F3 sprocket question - which lube/paste is best when re-fitting?

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

If you don't use down shifting for deceleration, you're not riding aggressively. I don't think I've ever done a ride when I haven't manually down shifted at some point...

They do this ( downshift to brake ) all the time in various types of racing ..... Guess how often they change out the transmission and clutches .... EVERY race ..... guess who pays for this ???? .... and it's .... NOT THE DRIVER..... jmho ... good luck ..... Mike

I've had 3 manual trans - F3 with 23,000 miles, F3 Daytona - 19,000 miles, and F3-t with 18,600 miles. I downshift for engine braking constantly and ride aggressively, single and 2-up, and I have never had a sprocket issue.(knock on wood). My point is, I don't think downshift engine braking is an issue.

......... and even it was the cause, as some suggest, it's a manufacturing issue not a rider issue - until you're left stranded.

Big shout out to JP58 (Jerry) for, honestly, doing the whole inspection/moly paste and bolt install. My 2019 F3S only has 8.2K miles and was, as expected (hoping?) clean as a whistle with factory spline lube still intact. I'll inspect every seasons end here on out. Thanks Jerry !!!

Your welcome. Always nice to help out a fellow Spyderlover.

This is what you need:

or this (could be the same formulation, but more expensive):

We are both referring to the same product. Loctite 8012 is the same as loctite 51048.

NO NO NO.....
DO NOT GIVE BRP a reason to VOID your WARRANTEE.....
i just spoke with my dealer, and he advise me to go with the recommended 'paste' that BRP is saying will cure the problem; KLUBERPASTE 46 MR401, is what is recommended... my dealer informed me that they had to cut a spline in half because the wrong material was applied... he also stated that the K-paste may need to be applied occasionally... i would think @ each rear tire change...
just my opinion.... but well all know how that goes...

i don't know if you're keeping score or not, but the OP used Kluberpaste or whatever and the sprocket only lasted 5k miles. I'd say that's a big hell no to that being the solution, warranty or not. I'm sticking to my loctite 8012/51048 as i don't have any confidence in anything else at this time. Time will tell what last and what doesn't.
