In and out in half hour today at Honda/Can Am Winston Salem NC.

I was under the impression the loctite they were using took a day to cure before riding off or did I miss something

Yes, the word from the regular Loctite using pulley mechs is that you need 6 hours for one type of Loctite and 24 hours for the other (I can’t remember the numbers and am too lazy to look them up, Cobwebs ). That’s actually on the instructions. I did read Lamonster comment that you could probably get away with have the new sprocket installed, gently ride it home if you are only a mile or so away, and then let it sit to set completely.

Because it's all for our ''safety'' you would think the guidelines for repair would need to be strictly adhered to (snicker ....adhered). What happens two years down the track when captain gullible pulls out for a cager manouvre and finds that rare species in the driveline called neutral as the road train approaching licks its lips in anticipation of a bullbar strength test.
If we know how it should be repaired and approve how it shouldn't be by riding off 24 hours prematurely are we then implicated in our own demise by not speaking up thereby eliminating any recourse we might have had regarding the scraping off of our body chunks off said bullbar for family members to part out.
All if's, but's and maybe's I know at a glance but isn't that what started the recall. Has someone chewed a bullbar to set this in motion in the first place.
I hope I don't get moderated for this for straying into the dark side of sprocket replacement but I feel so strongly about what corporates get away with and when it comes to life and death you know what, sometimes someone has to stand up regardless.

Texted my dealership today. Sprockets are due in mid March. Not a Can Am "specific" dealership. Mine has been inspected and I'll ride it every chance I get until then...
