I think it tightens itself even more once you ride.

By the Way it isn't a reverse thread is it?

I was wondering if it is left handed threads or not myself.

Note for the future, loosen the front sprocket bolt before you take off the chain and rear tire.  I was  turning the engine over trying to loosen the bolt!
