Yup that's what I did.
Happened to my 99 600 in 2003. I bought the bike new, then in the summer of 2003 noticed a strange noise from around the front sprocket. Nut and tab washer were loose and totally mashed. It had done about 24,000 miles I think, over 20,000 anyway, and was still on the original chain and sprocket set.
I tried to clean up the O/P shaft threads with the appropriate thread file but they were pretty much flattened down. I got a new tab and nut, but it just gave when I torqued it.
So got the arc welder out and on it went with three big spot welds. Continued to ride for a few months and then put it away for the winter. Towards the end of the winter in 2004 it got traded in against a zero miles pre reg thou.
Every spring I pop the cover off the thou and have a peek. When I replaced the front sprocket the tab was well bashed doon and stud lock was applied to the threads before running the nut on and torquing.
