Whilst HONDA seem to have a FLOATING front sprox arrangement on many bikes, In my experience, most bikes have a fixed front sprox - as BlackDogZulu says, torqued up real tight.
I did have a front sprox come loose on me old (1978) Z1000 once....... I had noticed the chain snagging a bit when I pushed it out (backwards) from me garage, but thought nothing of it.... Then a few miles down the road, after a blast down the dual carriageway....  I stopped at a red light... Pulled away & then the bike just revved - no drive. The front sprox had loosened & just fell off.... Luckily no damage to me or the bike & the nut & bits were still under the casing cover
Good thread this by the way
