    loose front sproket

    1980 550L
    I finally put the motor back in my bike after replacing the base gasket.
    As I was putting things back together I noticed that the front sprocket was loose and the nut just held by the lock washer is there a way to get this nut to stay tight?

      Indeed, tighten nut first then rely on lockwasher and none of the wimpy "It's snug and I can't turn it anymore my hand hurts"
