In an ideal world you should clean the exhaust system weekly, but, to be blunt, one cannot be arsed!
Regular steel pipes on mine. 2001. NEVER cleaned, painted - nothing. But we have lots of sunny days and it's only ridden in warm, fair weather months (April through October). I change oil, clean brakes, calipers, grease brearings - but CLEANING pipes I can not be bothered. Let them rot away and get new ones in 20 year time.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
