I learned this to be true on my KTM as well. I started removing the cover after every wash when I discovered the mess in there after I drowned out my bike. It was amazing it still ran considering the corosion and mung inside from the years of not being removed and dried out properly. I don't believe in sealing up the cover and will be removing my new to me Gassers cover after each wash. CRC electrical cleaner is you friend also for stator area cleanup.
At the very least get the motor up to full operating temps after washing the bike if you choose not to pull the cover (this should be done anyway if possible)
