I know I spend more time keeping my RS engine looking like that weekend after weekend. But that engine comes out of the frame a couple times a year. And when it's in the frame, it's easy to get to pretty much all parts.
Most people dont pull their NSR engines, unless they are going to do a bottom end. And with all the extra stuff on a street bike, it's hard to get into the tight areas.
Thats one of the reasons 4-strokes drive me nuts, so much crap and so little space. How is a clean freak supposed to keep one clean all the time!
Keep the photo's coming, it's looking good so far.
