Glueing countershaft sprocket

[Tramsvalp]

Worn countershaft splines is a known problem on the Transalp.
Changing the shaft means dismantling the whole engine.
Prevent this with my simple fix:

I have been driving 10.000 km with my latest sprocket "glued" to the shaft with high strength threadlocker, so I know this works on my shaft, and that it lasts the lifetime of the sprocket.
No more wear on my splines.

The threadlocker between sprocket and shaft is intact after 10.000 km.

Thank you

But it wasn't that brilliant... I thought I had it figured out, but some things were wrong. Especially the "torque method". On worn splines this could make the sprocket impossible to pull off, as the sprocket splines would not be in line with the undamaged shaft splines outside of the groove.

Nice idea. If it works on a worn shaft it looks like it might be a good way of preventing the problem in the first place on a new one.

Thanks. Yes, and I imagine there's no need to center the sprocket on a new shaft. Certainly no worries about removing it, it will be in line with the splines outside of the groove!

What about Africa Twin, do they have this problem? Should I have posted this in Bike Tech instead?
