• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I won't replace it till the beginning of March so I don't have anything to compare it to. But this is the redesigned one hope it's quieter!

Not having anything to compare it with...what's different about it? Will it retrofit all 1330s? Got a part number?
 
Did I read that part number correctly? 105563244?
Anyone know if it retrofits all 1330s?
 
Well BRP parts catalog for 2021s built after Sept 2020 list part number 705503239 and before that date part number 705502134. So is the 705503244 a third version of the part?
 
To my eye, and it's difficult to be certain because there is no common scale with either of the two sprockets, it appears the holes may be larger and there is obviously no raised ring on the inner circumference of the flange on the 10/20 sprocket. Larger holes probably would reduce the tone of any whistling (think flute or penny whistle notes). Just a WAG on my part. The date on the 705503244 is obviously later than the Sept 20 date mentioned in the parts catalog and I thought the "new" '21s were supposed to begin production in Jan '21. Ergo a part with a 10/20 manufacture date would be available for 1/21 production. Another WAG.

I think OP's pictures are of the back and front side of the same sprocket?
 
Very valid point, particularly noting the wrinkles in the bolt bag. Question then would be what do the new and old ones look like side by side.
 
I have the same sprocket to put on my wife's 2018 F3 tomorrow. I will take a picture of the new and old sprocket side by side. The only thing I noticed was that the new one is painted, but I did not measure the hole sizes. The new one does have made in the USA printed on it. I will need to look to see if the old one has that as well.

Holes are the same size. Looks like the flange to sprocket hub is sloped compared to the old one.

I assume that in the third picture the old one is turn 180 degrees? Are the splined hubs the same length or is the new one wider?
