Best its to strip and clean the calipers every 12 months as a maintenance item (the tockio twin pots on SV's are good when kept clean). Also if there is rubber hoses on swap them for braided lines as they give a big improvement for 60 quid (front) and 25 rear

Yeh i bought mine with braided hose's already. Is there always a noticeable difference in performance, or just when it comes to servicing?

from oem rubber to braided there is a big improvement as the pressure is more constant.
When I service mine, I know when mine are due as the response of the brakes is slow for the input (at the lever). A brake service never goes amiss especially if your unsure of condition

You need to come mate. I need to show you how to service your bike properly, because obviously I know a lot more than you, and my screwdrivers are better.
