Yes, because the more times you do that, the more times you have to service your suspension

Yes, this is a good practice.
Anyway, you should always wash everything after removing swing arm from bike.
And, yes, when I wash my bike I never spray high pressure water in links area. This part is always dirt.

I try in these videos keep things "real world" and simple as possible. The idea is give confidence to the one who want do the job first time.

Nice videos you make Cascao, simple but effective.

Is the white plastic protector on the back of the dog bones a standard part on newer bikes, or an aftermarket piece?

My addition is that I got rid of the two rear bolts holding the rear of the mudguard. I drilled two small holes in the guard so I can pass a thin cable tie through the holes and around the bolt (spaced out a little) that holds the "interior fender". Now when I flip the bike the cable tie breaks, not so much the mudguard.

Bikepert, the white plastic part you saw in dogbones is a "thing" I made few years back when this bike was almost brand new. 

Your rear fender zip tie mod is a good practice. Will tell about it with a friend that keep breaking these fenders.
