"Is it okay to use a spring washer instead or is the tongued washer an essential locking tab?"

It looks like the spring washer is on a bolt isolated from the chain run, with the tabbed bolt having extra security being in vicinity of the chain and sprocket rotation  ?

I can't tell fully from the diag, but that would make sense for the type of fixing security they provide.

Yes I can see that now you mention it - not sure where the tab locks into as it's not clear from the parts book - possibly it latches into the large round hole.

I will play safe & make a locking tab as I do not want to risk a bolt coming loose & striking the chain.

If you do not want it to come loose, just put thread lock on the bolt  ;)

Cheers Ken, 500 experts have better knowledge about these detail :)

Oddjob:
Not so sure it’s knowledge Nigel, more common sense in a lot of cases and an understanding of how the Honda engineers seemed to think.
