YEs. That would be me. Four time already and twice, barely half a turn to tighten it up. Put a very small drop of Loctite on and it still backed of a bit. I'm afraid of wearing out the nylon. Even tight now, I can detect a very small gap on the bottom of the flange. That should seat perfectly face to face. The hose is stiff and puts a cockeyed leverage on the flange. I guess reshaping or trimming it may relieve the pressure, but what you take off, can't be put back on. I'm having a different fueling problem now. The RPM hangs at about 1800 for a second or two before dropping back to 12-1300. Also, my MPG has dropped about 15% to about 3 mpg down from 41. And I've been riding much easier lately. Still a bit cold out.I think one of the “Brit” - Fred or Curtis - has been solving this by tightening the screws on the IAM, I am sure he will chip in here. However - as said before, book for first service at Donnington and speak to the guys prior to service/changing exhausts. A lot of the guys here have had most issues resolved at first service (including changing map to match open exhausts) but if the IAM flange is loose as well it needs sorting.
