the motor is cooled by riding the bike the fins on the cylinder and cylinder head cool the motor

so when you clean your bike, be sure its not HOT. get one of your mums nice kitchen knifes, or one of dads good flat head screw drivers and clean out all the mud on the head. if you are using a high pressure washer(karcher or similar) its advised to not point the stream directly at where gaskets join, at bearings, stickers or anyware else the water may enter where its not meant to be.
If you keep your bike/car etc clean it is less likely to wear out as fast, will last longer, will make servicing ALOT more friendly, will look better(kinda) and allow you to see what may be loose and not being held in place due to dried mud!
