Good idea, i will definitely be doing that as dont want a seized caliper. I need to get in the habit of renewing the brake fluid more regularly aswell. Thanks for all your help  |
If you haven't been pointed to it do yourself a favour and get a Can of ACF50,

Apply a few drops to all linkages as it not only lubes but also holds back corrosion. I also use it on all my Electrical block connectors contacts and bulb holders. Also wipe the coolant pipes with a Rag with some on as it prevents them decaying/cracking.
You can get it from local Motorcycle shops now or eBay/Amazon. It seems expensive per tin but isn't as it goes a long long way if applied correctly. Can also be used as a corrosion prevention on chains
