Removes brake dust, grease, and maintenance residues from suitable metal parts without leaving a greasy layer
Brake components must function cleanly and free of grease. Oil, chain spray, assembly grease, and other contaminants on a brake disc can reduce friction and permanently contaminate the brake pads. A suitable brake cleaner evaporates quickly and is designed for cleaning and degreasing technical parts.
Brake cleaner is widely used during the replacement of brake pads, brake discs, and other technical parts. The product can also be used to remove preservatives or greasy fingerprints from new brake discs before installation.
Always check the instructions for the specific product. Not every formula is suitable for painted surfaces, rubber, plastic, carbon, or anodized parts.
Spray the cleaner carefully onto the brake disc or apply it to a clean, lint-free cloth. If possible, slowly rotate the wheel so the entire brake surface is reached.
Use a separate cloth for brake parts that has not previously come into contact with wax, polish, chain spray, or silicone products. Otherwise, you may reintroduce contamination onto the brake disc during cleaning.
A lightly dusty brake pad can be inspected during regular maintenance, but a pad deeply saturated with oil or brake fluid will not automatically become reliable again just by rinsing it with brake cleaner.
Replace severely contaminated brake pads and first resolve the cause of the contamination. For example, check for a leaking brake caliper, fork seal, or improperly applied chain spray.
Some brake cleaners contain strong solvents. Therefore, avoid prolonged contact with paint, stickers, plastic windows, rubber seals, and other sensitive surfaces.
If in doubt, spray first onto a cloth and apply carefully. Test the product on an inconspicuous spot when material compatibility is unclear.
Use brake cleaner only on a cooled engine and away from sparks, fire, and hot exhaust parts. Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling the spray mist.
Allow all parts to dry completely before assembling or using the brakes. After maintenance, always check the pressure point and braking performance before riding the motorcycle.
