Today the nut that tighten's the gears at the end of the crankshaft on the clutch side came loose , i was running the bike and suddenly it seized up and motor was very hard to crank , when i opened it up the bolt was loose and was rubbing against the clutch cover. It hasnt been taken apart since the drag season started so i am sure it was well tightened and i had put red locktite . Has this happened to anybody before ? What could be done to make sure this wont happen again ?

Thanks

What could be done is replacing the washer every single time. It is a crush washer, and it is a one time use only peice. Did you use a new one?
