A lot of replacement sprockets do not have the rubber/plastic sound dampening material fitted (See Pic).
But do ensure you really, really clean the gearbox output shaft especially around the shoulder, and the case area behind the sprocket as you don't want to be torquing down on dirt.
Make sure the clutch actuation mechanism on the outer case is really clean and the mechanism is working freely while you in there
Assuming you have the new 12mm upgrade nut and new tab washer.
The recommended torque for the front sprocket nut is 70Nm, some will say do it less at about 60Nm, with the 12mm upgrade nut , new washer and Loctite 620 I'm sure it will hold at the lesser setting but have to admit I did mine at 70Nm as was recommended, the last thing you want is it letting go at 80mph on the motorway.
