I wondered about them some months ago. But in fact the Honda workshop
manual specifies to fix them with somewhat 10Nm (ask me for the exact
value when I am at home ...), so this is really *very* loose. I always
tighten them a bit more, because I don't want to loose my wheel. Up to
now no problems ...
