The wave washers totally eliminated ALL wiggle in the sprocket. I feel much safer now. I also found that none of my inner races (Front or rear) would spin freely. I apparently crushed the bearings inner races too tightly on the internal spacer tube. I'm replacing all my wheel bearings now and only putting the axles back on until my judgement says they're tight. I'm not using anything north of 30ft lbs for sure and probably less. I just don't think the China steel can handle it.

Glad it worked out for you. I have a feeling the snap ring groove was machined juat a bit too far out. I would recommend getting the honda studs as well. The factory studs just have too much play, at least mine did.
The wheel bearing issues are seemingly another common issue with the 2017 bikes. My rears were also locked up. Same with the swing arms. I tightened mine until the wheel spacers seated gave gave them a snug up after that. I also used loctite 242 on the axle nut just for assurance.
