    My mate had the same problem with loosening sprocket nuts on his YZ426F which simply refused to go away after months (years?) of loctite, double nuts and then double nylock nuts, before the holes in the hub went visibly oval and he drilled them out to fit bigger bolts... using a hand drill... end solution was a blingy new rim from the states for around $500

    and yes, it can be a problem as when the bolts came out while riding they hit the swingarm and locked the wheel thus stalling the motor.... I even rear-ended him once because of it and gave him a fair knock as I flew over my handlebars and into his shoulder

    He's in Glenfield somewhere I think? he made the fly wheel weight for my Cr250 many moons ago has a workshop in his home with lathes etc he's very good.
    +1 he did a mint job welding up my magnesium flywheel cover too
