How often do you clean your pistons/calipers?
#5
I usually get away with never having to rebuild them. In summer you're fine but in winter it's ESSENTIAL to wash the calipers down after every ride.
I've got my hosepipe wall mounted just inside the garage door, when I get home I spray the living daylights out of all three calipers - really hammer them from all angles. Then shove the bike in the garage until next time.
Works a treat.
If you do need to rebuild, make sure to scrape the seal grooves spotless with a right angled pick, get all the chod out or they'll just start sticking again.

**EDIT** should have watched that video before posting.  :rollin
