He also had an issue with low oil pressure when the bike was hot and idling, that he never solved despite rebuilding the oil pump etc etc.

Search for "the wire mod" on Aprilia forums (improves connection between the reg/rec and the battery), keep the bike on an optimate if not used for longer.
Discs are a bast***, but most of the time, it's the rotor buttons that get dirty, get an m6 bolt through it, tighten with a nut, spray brake cleaner and rotate the buttons (don't use mole grips). Job done in 30 minutes.
