Rubber sheeting around engine?

[grinder96]

Working on my 17' RC390 and there is rubber sheeting zip tied all over. Is this important? Does it keep wires off the hot engine? Is it cooling engineering? Have you all removed it with no effect?

Any info appreciated!

Yes, sits on top of the head and I think on each side of the engine zip-tied to the frame (if it is not all one piece). I have worked on a ton of bikes and never come across this before and wonder why they would spend the money to engineer it and the cost of production for it if it did not do something somewhat vital?
