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.
Survey : who has had the newest (recall) front sprocket fail?

You’re going to have to be a bit careful with these results, Mike. There are a number of riders who believe (often after being told by their dealer) that the white sprocket, or a replacement sprocket of the old type, with loctite, is the “newest” (and recall fix) sprocket.

Askitee reported here that his had failed, thats the only one I know of so far. Perhaps members planning a trip to the dealers could ask.Shawn Smoak used to be a good source of info but hasn't posted for a year since his stroke.:dontknow: I have very little faith in the procedure for repair being followed correctly so expect this to be an ongoing problem and won't that be a nice little earner for BRP.

I posted this question for ALL the folks who need to get theirs replaced because of RED DUST etc. .... I don't / won't have this issue because my 2014 ( early RT ) doesn't have the problem ( # 77,000 mi. no red dust ).... :agree: if the info isn't accurate the answers will be skeptical .....

A friend had his front sprocket replaced with the newest version (stainless steel in color) a few months ago on his 2018 F3L under extended warranty. Mentioned to me the next day right after being done that the bike seemed different. Well on a ryde a few weeks ago the shaft from the trans had sheared off with the sprocket still attached lying on its side. At a dealership at the moment waiting for BRP's decision to repair or replace the tranny. Wondering if the torque was too much initially from the beginning. HMMMM. Thankfully the extended warranty is still good.

I would have to say it was a faulty shaft. You never know how well steel is made unless you do a whole lot of testing before manufacturing, and then it does not take a very big flaw some time to have a break. To long in the oven on a heat treated part will make things brittle. :dontknow:
I have heard about at least 3 2018's with sheared main shafts. It was faulty heat treating and BRP replaced under warranty.

JUSCUZ, The SPROCKET RECALL has nothing to do with any extended warranty coverage.

Your making claims for sprocket repair 4 times is unheard of and confusing.
I have posted the correct sprocket numbers in an above post and below for the sprocket recall.

I don't have the paperwork. I know the 2nd last sprocket replaced was the recall version, the one prior was the white one, and was told by the dealer the sprocket was done again this visit.
While ASKITEE posted this about his sprocket recall work, He has no paperwork from his dealer to prove what was done.

Bingo! Loctite specifically states that the product used needs to sit for a minimum of 24 hours after install. But this is not being followed. Some customers ride away on their 'Fixed' sprocket within minutes of the job being done. We shall see how critical Loctite's specs turn out to be with this.

Yep, yep, yep, Ron…….what a minefield…….and if/when Spyders start having issues with sprockets failing, I wonder how many riders will recall the issue with Loctite not being allowed to cure by some dealers. :gaah: …… and BRP will blame the dealers, and the dealers will blame BRP, and guess who’ll be caught in the middle……AGAIN:banghead:

HEY PETE, You and Peter both got a copy of https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2022/RCRIT-22V352-1338.pdf and you both saw that there was no cure time listed

Yes, no cure times per se on that particular document, but it does say to use a particular Loctite, and the Loctite instructions include cure times, T.P. If the dealers have not read the Loctite “application instructions”, then that is negligence on their part, but I’m sure they will try to blame BRP for their own incompetence. Much angst will follow, with US caught in the middle.:sour:
Would you use a glue-like product without reading the manufacturers guidelines? I bet you wouldn’t, and neither would most here. But there have already been instances of dealers effecting the recall, either ignoring, or not reading, those guidelines :gaah:

No what size socket to use on the sprocket screw and to use an appropriate cleaner on the shaft splines also:banghead:. This is the most basic of stuff to any one that claims to be a mechanic if you need to have it spelt out that 603 takes 24hrs to set that the wrong size socket will wreck a bolt head and wiping down a surface with monkey spit will do for preparing a surface you need to reevaluate your career choice.
