I like my bikes looking good so I wash them after every ride.......not a good idea. I think I'm gonna stick to wipe down's with a wet rag.....My head studs and cylider studs looked brand new when the motor was assembled....Look at them now.

Dave.....for all those who may be running the Maxima mix like I was, could you please explain the whole "flashpoint" thing and why it affects the K5 so much. :-D

look at the flashpoint of your oil..... then know that K5's develop a 230-265+ deg trend on CHT's. (on the pipe)..

It will be interesting to see what my Sand bike looks like when I finally build the motor.
It has been washed after every ride and it's 14 years old..... :-o
