We've had a spell of continuous rains for a bit. I didn't use my bike for almost 2 weeks and found that there was a thin layer or rust forming on the chain and the disk brake rotors, especially on the surface which gets covered by the brake pads. Cleaning the chain was easy, used Motul C1 & C2 but I panicked for the brake rotors and made the mistake of using WD40. It cleaned the brakes just too well. WD40 is essentially a lubricant and it killed my brakes!! What to do now?
So I found a couple of brake cleaners on Amazon and they worked like magic... really!! Check out in the video!

Happy to help

I made the same mistake today 😀. Now I have to buy stp and bring it to normal form. Thank you

[@thewanderlustride]

spray it on the disc 2-3 times at least and rub off with a microfiber cloth. Then the brakes will be back to normal!

[@pys2881]

Is it normal

[@whooslefot]

That was helpful. Thanks ♡

[@thewanderlustride]

You’re welcome 😊

Will washing with detergent work?

[@thewanderlustride]

no.. and it is likely to spoil the brake pads. Best way to clean is to use 3M brake cleaner or equivalent which work at the molecular level.

[@jb5141]

I did same thing today🤦‍♀️ on my car😢 ... stupid me... so like what you did i bought break cleaner... I havent tested the break yet

[@thewanderlustride]

All the best! If you use the 3M brake cleaner, the brakes will be as good as new! 👍🏻

[@jb5141]

@@thewanderlustride oh wow really?... unfortunately i canr find 3M brand here... I use Gladiator, its made in Canada... but it does remove wd40 and evaporates like 3M

[@supremepower3901]

Can we use this after washing our motorcycle? Just for cleaning our disc. I have a new motorcycle

[@thewanderlustride]

Yes you can. But not really required for a new motorcycle. When you ride in dusty conditions, your discs will start making squeaky noises. That time get the bike pressure washed from washing center and then use this to ensure braking is back to full efficiency

Maine wd40 mar diya he breaks is not working kaise clean karu disk

[@thewanderlustride]

भाई अगर 3M का brake cleaner मिला Amazon पर तो best चीज है. वरना STP का brake cleaner ले कर २-३ बार use करना. मेरा vdo देखना. मैने भी येही गलती करी थी 3M Car Care High Power Brake Cleaner 75g amzn.eu/d/bNA2tSi

[@achinkhajuria8809]

I done same today with my d400😂 sanitizer work well on this😂

[@pys2881]

I use the stp but it didn't show any result... i invest in many break clean arou 3000 but it doesn't work...plz help me

[@thewanderlustride]

Hi, not sure why STP wouldn't work. It works fine for me. 3M Brake cleaner is much stronger if you want to try it but if that is also not working, then get it checked by ASC.

[@pys2881]

@TheWanderlustDrive can service center clean this??

[@pys2881]

I use wourth, stp, hyundai, maruti suzuki break cleaner or even wash in soap,alcohol,dish washer but it doesn't work🥲🥲🥲

[@thewanderlustride]

@@pys2881 if they can't clean, they will replace 🙂

[@pys2881]

@TheWanderlustDrive what is the cost of the discplate

[@vipmay21]

I too sprayed WD40 on disc brake....

[@thewanderlustride]

Hope you were able to fix it quickly too! Today when lubing the chain, some of it must have sprayed on the disc rotor as well as I found the same issue again in the rear brake. But a quick spray of STP Heavy Duty Brake cleaner brought the braking back to normal!

[@RahulMRox]

Rather than putting so much effort buying all this gimic items Change break pads and clean your Disk with Kerosin

[@thewanderlustride]

Change brand new hardly used discs? Bhai maybe you have the money to change stuff every 500 kms. As a biker, we need to learn to properly use and maintain things and most importantly, how to fix our mistakes!

[@gibishaju7716]

​@@thewanderlustride You are right. This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Kerosene really? What a joke.

[@achinkhajuria8809]

Sanitizers work well here wipe disk and good to go😂

[@syukryusman8770]

Brake cleaner is not gimic item bhai 😂

[@khanasif1654]

@@achinkhajuria8809does it work?

[@navaneeth1228]

Thank you bro😂

[@XOXO-ef7tz]

I used wd 40 now my brakes are not working

[@thewanderlustride]

use the 3M Brake Cleaner

[@rajatsingh1001]

bro i also did the same thing

[@suhailkhan8443]

Bro in my bike duke 200 front break it is noiseing sometimes like whistle it normal or not

[@thewanderlustride]

Is your bike new? The rear disc used to make that kind of noise for my bike for a while but no other braking issue apart from that. Now I've completed 5.5k kms and no more noise

[@RahulMRox]

Its becasue of the dust that is seating on your Diskpad clean it and you are good to go

[@AnandSingh-xu7kw]

How how much time do we need to wipe off the residues for the disk brakes

[@thewanderlustride]

I'm assuming you mean after spraying on the brake discs. If using 3M brake cleaner then no need to wipe at all. It's self evaporates super fast. If using STP then need to wipe off the residue after some time. With STP, at least 2 times cleaning will be required.

Maine galti se Yamaha chain Lube Dal Diya aur break Fail Ho Gaya😞

[@thewanderlustride]

Take care! Ride safe!

[@musicallbeats2181]

Bro i too sprayed it by mistakenlyy Rather than buying all this stuff say me smtg in budget

[@thewanderlustride]

@@musicallbeats2181 take it to ASC and ask them to clean using the spray. That’s the best way. I won’t suggest any cheap jugaad which has no guarantee of working especially when it concerns something as important as the brakes of a bike which can potentially save you from a life threatening situation!
