the nut on my front sprocket on my yfz is hand tight . you should have a washer that slides on before the nut that is a little bit bigger then the nut... you bend the edges of the washer over the flat side of the nut to keep it(the nut) from spinning off.....i hope this helps

the 400ex sprocket will appear to be loose but it is suposed to be that way it will not come off.if you take the 2 bolts out and take off the washer,clip,spacer whatever you want to call it, then take off the sprocket you will see how it works and you will see that it will not come off.it does not have a washer that bends over the nut like a yfz.
