I was told by my Honda dealer that they had a tech bulletin on the need to clean the header to remove the Cosmoline. So those getting new bike may want to check at pickup but probably to late as I suspect if dealer ran engine it burned the Cosmoline and I suspect that crests the spots everyone talks about.
Interesting thing is my 1990 BMW K75RT has a stainless exhaust system and has never been cleaned except for car washing soap. Other than age and the blue tint from heat it is shinny , not like chrome but not like the Honda brown. I suspect ferrous stainless rather than nickel stainless. Any one test with a magnet? I will do it later.
