Whew ! No real damage. The nut did loosen up. All's I see on the inner hub is 3 splines with a tiny amount of chipping on the start of the spline teeth. So i'm good. Glad I spotted this ! Oddly The clutch action was fine, never felt anything wierd with the clutch...

After looking closely, Kawi uses one of those spring steel "cone" washers instead of a locking tab type for the inner hub shaft. Never really trusted cone type washers, and more proof.
