LocTite 620 is what Yamaha recommend.
If that bad boy comes undone it can throw you up the road big time if the chain jams up in the engine area :eek , whilst fucking the output shaft big time, I'm told it is a complete engine strip down to replace it, or weld the nut to the shaft at the risk of cooking oil seals.
[size=1em]Cheerful little soul aren't I ? :rolleyes [/size]
There is another way to solve it and does not require stripping or welding :eek
FFS unfazed I can't hold my breath much longer
