Exhaust Acorn Nuts

I am just wondering how often you have to tighten these nuts or any other bolts/nuts for that matter?

Does anyone put loctite on these?

When I went to remove the stock exhaust I could turn two of the bolts off by hand.
I was surprised that I didn't notice any issues with them being that loose.

I now put 200 miles onto my new cobra exhaust and went to check them and 3 out of the 4 were loose.

I did tighten them to the correct torque spec when installed.

I don't remember having to tighten bolts that often in the past.


Thanks,
Nate

When you snug say the bottom nut, then tighten the top, when you loosen the bottom, the top may be a little loose. Try going in increments of tens till you get to torque spec. Then go back and retourque after riding couple hundred miles.
