Yep. 2011 Pro RMK First time i cleaned them one nut was just about all the way off. Then at the end of last year (1400 miles) cleaned them again and tight as when i put them in.

i'd keep an eye on your base gaskets if they were that loose one may have rubbed and could cause the gasket to go bad. i had to retorque mine every couple of rides.

My brother had it happen on his 2011 pro rmk last time out

I just cleaned mine 20 miles ago. Didn't know torque specs... anyone know? I am probably over torqued a bit if I were to guess. Perhaps I should buy a service manual. Gonna check mine and re-torque if needed.
