I Always use Lock Tite on driveline bolts, lots of vibration can and does work nuts loose if correctly tensioned or not

F*ck me. How many kms/miles on the bike? Or more to the point, when (and where) was it last serviced? I'd be taking it back there and letting them know.

OK - I KNOW ya'all looked it up!
What's the torque for those nuts?
Save me a little time - come-on.

Check you bike visually often.
