You will never get the sand and dirt out of all the moving parts. It's cheaper to remove the bolt on upgrades sell the old bike and get a new bike.
Those bikes will require the forks to be rebuilt, brakes are shot, clutches are shot, motor has a very good possibility of having dirt in the cylinder. Yes they rebuild this engines after every race, but the cylinder is likely scored and will need to be bored out (Nikasil is not cheap.. ), valves are probably bent form being over heated.. Since most of those riders are factory backed the bikes cost nothing. |

If you look at that pic of Chad Reed (top pic) he is sitting there because he toasted his clutch. That never happens on a dry track. That mud fucks up your bike badly. You could here the engines bogging down from sucking in a little bit of muddy water. If I was a privateer, I never would have run that race.
