The bike is cleaned once a week with muck off and car shampoo and rinsed with water. the brakes get a blast of brake cleaner. A deep clean meant also taking out the brake pads, WD40 round the pistons (I could see it seep in to help lubricate the rings) and grease the sliders.
Both pistons were corroding around the edges. I think this time I will give them a wipe with ACF50.
I take it neither of you have had such problems, but are your roads as heavily gritted as Scotland's?
