After a full year and 20,000mi I went out on a trip with roads following the seaboard (Gaspe Peninsula).
On a bright sunny day, high winds were carrying sea mist, noticeable as my helmet visor would become coated with a sheen just after 15min of riding.
Coming back to the big city a few things started to work awkwardly on the C14 (2012); rear brake pedal felt like a wooden block and the pre-load adjuster became very stiff.
Both issues where solved thanks to the help of my best friend; white lithium spray grease. A few shots, wiggle it and Voilà!
White lithium spray grease comes out from the can with a solvent allowing it to penetrate tight spots (just like penetrating oil) but once the solvent evaporates it takes the viscosity of grease, it is very resistant to water and the elements.
It also work wonders for lock's key cylinders.
