angryfarang Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Does anyone know where I could order some from? I'm on Samui and I've looked everywhere for this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semper Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm using ordinary schampo or washing-up liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) You may find carb cleaner or starter spray locally & both will also work fine to clean discs Edited October 17, 2012 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryfarang Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 You may find carb cleaner or starter spray locally & both will also work fine to clean discs So carb cleaner is the same stuff? Will it de-grease also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it de-grease also? Yes no problem. But carb cleaner tends to be a little bit stronger so try not to soak rubber parts as it does dry them out. But if your cleaning discs or brake parts should be no problems at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryfarang Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 No problem. I just want to clean the disks up. I read somewhere you can use light sandpaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 If the disks are off the bike use an orbital sander 220 grit wet and dry. But if they are greasy or oily clean first with WD40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryfarang Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Really? You can use WD40 to clean? I thought it was an oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Really? You can use WD40 to clean? I thought it was an oil? Actually it is a water displacer which is why it is called WD but, you are correct in that it does have a blend of lubricants in it. As such I would not use it on brake discs. Even if it is 50% mineral spirits the lubricating ingredients may leave a film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not up to the task of taking off those black marks that sometimes are found on the disk surface. Hence the need for the jitterbug sander and wet and dry. You can add some dish washing detergent to the water you use with the w&d abrasive paper....it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryfarang Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Thanks. So basically, go get some wet & dry paper from homepro (if they have any) and get to work on the disks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Thanks. So basically, go get some wet & dry paper from homepro (if they have any) and get to work on the disks.... If your disk is worn, with little ridges running around the surface of the rotor, it may not be much help. In that case It may pay to measure the thickness of the rotor with a micrometer....in at least 12mm from the outside edge. If it's on or past the minimum depth stamped on the disk or in the handbook, just get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryfarang Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks for that. I've just ordered a micrometer from e-bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
