Does your Honda have a Fuji nut on the rear axle? I first encountered these on my XSR700 but Suzuki have now adopted using them too. They are a type of locknut that has two thin metal "blades" that engage with the threads, they are attached to the nut but can move slightly.
They work well as a locknut but with dirt ingress can jam so hard they strip the thread of the axle. My friend with an MT-07 had to replace his axle because of that and it's an occasional thread (ouch) on the MT-07/XSR700 forums.
