They were never designed to stop sprocket nuts falling off, but dampers to reduce sprocket noise.
I only noticed its that it may stop the sprocket nut falling off after it happened to my foxeye.
The damper was in the cover of my sons 400 but not in the cover foxeye. The bolt holes are there, but not threaded.
On further inspection I noticed that it was very close to the shaft and would have prevented the problem of the nut falling away completely and allow, as in my own situation where the nut came off completely, the sprocket fell on to the threads and I lost all drive when overtaking.
