Well I had a friend put on my chain and sprockets a couple of weeks ago. I guess he didnt tighten the nut down enough on the front sprocket. Well it is now gone. My question is where can I get a 36 millimeter nut and lock washer? I have gone to all the part stores and nobody has them. I really dont wanna wait on yamaha but I guess I might have to. Anybody have any suggestions?

I wouldn't expect any car parts stores to have the right parts, assuming that's what you mean.
If you're in a rush, just ask the person who mans the Yamaha parts counter at your local dealership if you can pay extra for having the parts shipped next day.
Then, once you get the parts in your hand, use a torque wrench, tighten that nut to spec. (after putting a drop of oil on the threads), and bend the lock washer down over a flat part of the nut.
It shouldn't go anywhere until you want to remove it, again.

I remember him putting the nut back on but Im not sure about the lock washer. It is a weird/scary situation because I just got back from a 4 1/2 hour trip and was cleaning my chain when I heard a weird noise. When I pulled the cover off there was no nut.GXRKLR said:
How in the hell could that happen with a lock washer. you should be able to put it on finger tight and not have this happen. I would check to see if your buddy still had the nut.
