    Hi , I have a lexmoto street 125 , and have recently replaced the chain and rear sprocket however after a couple of days riding the bolts are coming loose , I've already replaced 1 that's literally fell out on 2 occasions , any ideas or tips to keep them locked in? I can't tighten them as much as I'd like because I struggle to get a spanner on the head of the bolt , Many thanks, John

    you should have a lock tab of some sort to hold them in place

    Spring locking washers should work or alternatively, get some medium strength thread locker from Halfrauds (sorry, Halfords).
