The problem here is that the metal @ the exhaust ports gets extremely hot and when you ride in bad/wet weather all the crap gets thrown up on the front of the engine-mud/water/salt etc,which is an ideal recipe for corrosion. So unless you are fanatical about cleaning the first time you notice theres a problem is when your exhaust starts to blow & you find the exhaust nuts refuse to budge. As said-spray around studs/nuts with PENETRATING oil-nothing else- for several days and if the nuts refuse to loosen-don't force them or you could end up with broken studs stuck in the cylinder.
