    Haven't done anything to mine haha, if i don't use it for a few days I give it a run for 5 minutes. The thing I hate most at the minute is how my exhaust is looking. It's a bloody rust magnet so it'll need a good clean up come spring

    ACF 50 .... Clean your bike & spray everything wit it (apart from breaks stay well clear). We use it on the quads. And a few peeps do a once a year coating on there bikes. Have a look on YouTube for it ..... It was developed for aircraft.

    And everything means plastics / engine / wiring /exhaust .... just watch if you have any decals on as it will work its way under them.

    Wash off the road grit with water, it destroys metal if you dont wash it off
