You’ve finally bought your new motorbike home. You’ve mastered washing, waxing and polishing it, but do you know how to maintain it and keep it running in top condition? Rule number one: there is nothing more important than cleaning your motorbike brakes, discs and callipers.
Your motorbike brakes are vulnerable to debris on the road and these can cause long-term issues if you do not clean and maintain them regularly. What’s more, if you keep your motorbike stored, left unused and locked in a garage for a long period of time, the brakes can begin to deteriorate. So, how do you clean motorbike brake discs?
Over time, substances such as grease, oil or excess brake fluid can start to build up in the callipers, pistons or other components of your bike’s brakes. Although you won’t be able to see it, you’ll feel it. This build-up can negatively impact brake performance and can also become highly dangerous. Luckily, when cleaning the brakes of your motorbike, WD-40®’s Specialist® Motorbike Brake Cleaner takes care of it all.
WD-40’s Specialist Motorbike formulas have all been developed in conjunction with the University of Sheffield. They have been tested with Team WD-40, from the British Superbikes Series, to ensure that the range consistently meets the needs of intense use and high-performance race environments.
Designed specifically to remove dust, oil, grease and road debris from motorbike brakes. It can clean discs, pads, assemblies, callipers and clutches. Our WD–40 Specialist Motorbike Brake Cleaner is your must-have go-to for routine maintenance. Once applied to the brake discs, the formula starts to instantly dissolve debris on contact and the powerful spray discharge helps to flush through the dirt. The fast-working spray dries in minutes and leaves no residue.
