250/350LC exhaust studs

[lckid]

Im having a problem with my exhaust studs on my 350LC as in x2 studs screw right out with the nuts still attached
Has anyone else had this problem and are they a weak point with these bikes as im to bloody scared to tighten them fully in case they strip the theads in the barrels possible some gorilla has been at them in the past, also can the exhaust ring gaskets be reused or do i always need to replace them every time i take the exhaust off?

Lock the studs into the barrels using 2 nuts locked together. I have re-used gaskets but only ones that have been fitted for a short time (if that makes sense).
If they seal you're ok, so worth a try.

There have been many mods. over the years in this area. Norbo has some spacers for this reason.
