anybody have a PN for a replacement exhaust stud for an X1 that is BETTER and STRONGER than the crap that comes with the bike? |

Make sure your front exhaust mount is the updated upside down Y version. That will make a big difference |

I believe you can get them from Jim's Performance. Also, MAKE SURE you install the exhaust system correctly - torque, sequence, all of it. |

I broke a stud last year. Was told NOT to go with a grade 8 stud. If that grade 8 ever broke off (and they can), I'd have a hell of a time drilling it out. I'm sure I did not install the exhaust to the proper torque specs. If I had, It would not have broke off. I often check the nuts to make sure they didnt back off the stud. Thats what broke mine, I'm sure. Loose nuts are BAD! Many here say the stock stud is fine. Others will say otherwise. Thats my 2 cents. |

You can get a set of ARP roll-forged studs. Part number 200-2401 (set of 4) I use them on the race bikes and have never had issues. They have dang near 50% more strength than grade 8. That being said, using PROPER torque, and PROPER torque sequence will definitely go a long way to keeping things from breaking. A nut that comes loose will almost always break the OTHER stud in a short while. Check nuts every once in a while (good advice for ANY male!!!) :-) You can get them from better local speed shops (NOT PepBoys or Wallyworld!) - also usual online sources: Jegs, Summit and Amazon. About $16 a set.
