Sprayed metal preserver on my brakediscs. should i have?
Before i put my Duke in the bike bubble i sprayed some metal preserver which i got with the bubble on all the metal parts "Carcoon C.S.P Fluid"

I would think that it is oil based and can be cleaned off come the spring.
But to bve honest I have never heard of C.S.P. fluid. Most peeps use wd40

Just spray the disk's with some brake cleaner or contact cleaner(same stuff) before you ride it. Make sure you don't use the brakes first though or you will have to clean the pads off as well.

Most decent motorpart stores should stock it, or your friendly local bike shop-failing that try Halfords.

weeian, it not uncommon for most peeps to put wd40 on any shiny bit that likely to rust during wintere storage.
