Brake Discs
Disc Cleaning
Poor braking can be caused by oil on a disc. Oil on a disc must be
cleaned off with an oil cleaning fluid such as trichloroethylene or
acetone.
WARNING
These cleaning fluids are usually highly flammable and harmful
if breathed for prolonged periods. Be sure to heed the fluid
manufacturer's warnings.
WARNING
Do not attempt to drive the vehicle until a full brake lever is
obtained by pumping the brake lever until the pads are against
each disc. The brakes will not function on the first application of
the lever if this is not done.
