 Front Belt Sprocket
Has anyone else had to replace the front belt sprocket?? I went on a 2 day ride out to Arkansas and bike started making a low sounding pop when i was barely moving. Didn’t have a problem at normal cruising speeds or highway speeds. Took it to my local Can Am dealer and they diagnosed the problem right away. Bike only had 12,000 miles on it, is that normal for the F3T??

It would help if you gave us the year. Assuming it is older than a 2019, yes these are problematical. Some routine attention / maintenance can put this off or even prevent it from stripping out.
Now that you have a new one, check it for the curse of the red dust maybe once a month. Seeing posts like yours here, I bought a new bolt (mandatory), removed the sprocket - all was good at 5K miles - cleaned both splines, applied a film of moly paste (not grease) slid the sprocket back on and torqued the bolt. Now I have the peace of mind that it has been properly assembled and has the correct lube.
BTW, it pays to be a regular on this forum - a lot to learn here that will save the day and money.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.
