As a spanner monkey... b*llocks.
I've seen plenty "shiny" "looked after" bikes that have been complete dogs.
I've also had a few customers who've been high mileage commuters and despatchers with telephone number annual mileages and bikes that look like a rolling tub of black moly grease where every fastener comes undone without the slightest trouble.
As I've said before slather it repeatedly in ACF50, cleaning after winter is obviously optional but that will make sure the thing is alright under the layer. Don't clean it in meantime you just expose it to salt again, you want a nice thick layer of sh*te on there.
To me cleaning is a waste of f***ing time. Only bit worth cleaning is headlight glass.
