Ive been checking the exhaust port nuts regularly and while riding today I started hearing a rattle. By the time I was able to do a thorough inspection the rattle got very pronounced. Once I was able to investigate the disturbance I found 3 out of 4 nuts were gone with the front flange was bouncing on the front heat shield edge.
Has anyone used blue locktite on these troublesome nuts successfully?

 

Double nut them. Run another exhaust nut over the first one and tighten them against each other. No Loctite needed.

 

I use blue loctite for all nuts or bolts and I haven't had any issues.

 

blue loctite near that heat is basically lube to get the nuts of faster

 

maintenance item. lesson learned, check them regularly. it's happened to all of us. no shame.

 

Check your manual for info.

 

In my case I haven't had any issues and nothing has become loose.

 

Cvaria is still right, regardless. Blue loctite basically turns into antiseize at the temperature it experiences at the exhaust flanges. You probably are ok because you have the nuts properly torqued.

 

I have never had one come loose. Which gaskets are you using?

 

Locktite - no. Locknuts - yes. However, I dint put lock nuts on until I've been through 5 heat cycles. If I've done any exhaust flange work, I check and re-torque each time after a ride/heat cycle. After 5, I'll put lock nuts on; learned this by experience.
