Other neglected parts which can be really improved are the front brake lever which can be easily removed by taking the screw out and cleaned up and lithium greased.
Also, the pivot joints of both the rear brake and gear foot levers can be cleaned out by simply using either brake cleaner or even WD40. You can oil them afterwards as well if you want but just cleaning them works wonders.
These areas get clogged up really easy due to dusty/crappy rain drying out in the joints, and you'll notice a huge difference in performance once cleaned.
I normally give them a quick spray about once a month to keep them crud free and moving okay.
