The main area I'd keep it away from would be the brake discs and calipers.

Basically everywhere else IMHO is probably fair game. Best to check the manufacturers instructions though just to be on the safe side. I havent used ACF50, I use the FS365 Scotoiler spray and they make it quite clear not to get any on your braking systems.

Fizz is right... It's slippy, so you don't want it on your brakes. I keep it off the paint as well, since it doesn't do anything there, and the exhaust since it's wasted there, it'll just burn off. And the seat and tyres, obviously. Pretty much everywhere else is fair game.

I too shall be giving the bike its annual clean followed by a good ACF50ing. Is it just my can of the stuff that comes out in a weird pink foam or is it meant to be like that?
