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

[Cobwebs]

So is the correct Loctite 609 or the 648? Does it come with the recall sprocket ? Can we conform for all to read ... and the correct cure time is 24 hours to achieve the correct bond?

Lastly, should we be insisting that the dealer/ installer leave it set over night as per the BRP instructions, not just the vague NHTSA recall one?

OT but it seems to me that we should also be insisting that pics of the removal and install including bolt and spacer be taken to ensure they actually do it correctly...

What do you guys think?

These are the questions a lawyer would be asking BRP in the event of a compensation claim for damages arising from further pulley failures. Some dealerships have live video of any work but I'm unaware of any in my area.

I'm more worried that the tech will not do a good cleaning job before installation than the down time before use. Many will have a good coating of moly on the splines and if not cleaned off completely it won't matter how long you let it set.

This is still the last information on the sprocket recall at 317 days old. LOTS of miss-information still being posted here.

Your first question is answered on the Recall notice itself posted above, WRCLVR - it is 609 or 603 (603 is the global version). The correct cure time is whatever is displayed as the application instructions on those products.

Loctite 609

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE OF CURED MATERIAL
Adhesive Properties
After 24 hours @ 22 °C
Compressive Shear Strength, ISO 10123:
Steel pins and collars N/mm² ≥15.8LMS
(psi) (≥2,290)
After 1 hour @ 22 °C
Compressive Shear Strength, ISO 10123:
Steel pins and collars N/mm² ≥10.3LMS
(psi) (≥1,490)


So in simple terms half as strong again at 24 hours v riding off after 1 hour.

Very interesting, Cobwebs. Hopefully, 1490 will be strong enough to prevent issues :thumbup:
