http://www.acf-50.co.uk/motorcycle.htm 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

Re: Rear Brake Not Returning
Brake fluid attracts water which causes corrosion, changing it regularly can prevent corrosion in brake system, the other problem is that water boils at a much lower temperature than brake fluid and under prolonged heavy braking can be an loss of brakes - thank goodness for good engine braking on SV...more modern brake fluids are also less viscous than before to cater for ABS - Mobil make an ESP version of fluids that are thinner.
