SPROCKET RED DUST, recall inspection results ?
I have a 2017 F-3T with just over 27,000 mile's. It has a Dynojet PV3 tune and a Pedal Commander, I hit it hard just about all the time. So it passed inspection today at the dealer

pic taken 12/13/2020 Notice the shiny black painted surface, they all don't have that

That's a TECH that hasn't touched it yet .......... PS I hope you don't get spanked ( by the Dealer ) for having the POWER add-on's .....good luck .... Mike

HEY MIKE, No spanking from the dealer on the power add on's
I would say that in my case that "THE RED DUST OF DEATH" is a myth.
Dealer said that of the 30 Spyder's tested so far only 2 failed.

I agree with Mike. I'm not sure how that thing passed. Even if they didn't clean the sprocket off there would be hand prints from them checking the pulley for slop after removing the bolt (even though it looks untouched as well). But clearly no one has ever touched that pulley in some time. Other maybe than to have swiped at it where that dust is gone in what you call black shiny painted surface. Of course I could be seeing it all wrong.

To the OP, was that picture after the preliminary recall was done?
Clearly no fingerprints on the sprocket and no witness marks on the bolt. It doesn’t look like it was touched.

Took a look at it today and it has been cleaned up a bit, but no markings on the bolt.

2018 RTL with 34,000km on it... mine tested within specs, dealer doubts they will have the final parts available until fall sometime, put on recall list for when they come in. Only downside is nearest dealer is a three hour ride from my house... only good thing is the dealer is a three hour ride from my house

They showed me my old sprocket before they sent it back. The marks were on the sprocket, not the bolt.

Mine looked like that years ago too and the dealership said that despite the red dust, because I had so many miles on it, mine must be one of the lucky ones... then it exploded at about 55,000 miles. I'd say it's just a matter of time for yours. Hopefully it won't happen before you get the recall work done on it.

Had my F3 Front Sprocket Inspected today.
15900 miles. It passed the inspection with no issues.
Now the long wait for the replacement parts.
