well I believe that if it were sheared, the bike wouldn't go at all? aside from burning up the keyless shaft, and who knows what other problem
Pretty much, but:-
One extreme - not sheared, no slip
Other extreme - sheared and slipping as you say
Sometimes - it catches and grips most of the time but slips sometimes, ie each time the engine fires or less.
I'd also double-check that the nut is extra-tight.
After all, something is causing it. Live with it if you like, but it is fixable.
