along with thread locking the nut and giving a few extra NMs of torque pressure as well.
Along with the new 12mm wide nut Yamaha U.K. recommended a torque of 90 Nm instead of the original 70 Nm. I agree with the thread locking compound but I would be very wary of exceeding the 90 Nm torque figure. Your choice of course but personally I have gone for thread lock and stayed at 70 Nm.

I wasn't aware of the new recommended 90 nm torque from Yam UK. I was going to add another 5 nm on top of the original 70 nm for a 75 total. Might add 10 nm for a 80 nm total with locking glue just for a bit of balance between the two figures.

But for me, glueing the tab washer is the key if you can get glue strong enuff to bond the two together. You could have your nut finger-tight and it won't be going anywhere if the tab washer can't move and the tabs are properly over the nut.
