FAQs
Can I use this on my car's brakes?
While it cleans brake components, this product is specifically formulated for motorbikes. For car brakes, it's recommended to use a cleaner designed for automotive brake systems.
How often should I clean my motorcycle chain?
Chain cleaning frequency depends on riding conditions. A general recommendation is every 500-700 miles, or more frequently if riding in wet, dirty, or dusty environments.
Do I need to re-lubricate the chain after using this cleaner?
Yes, absolutely. This cleaner removes all grease and lubricant. Re-lubricating the chain after cleaning and drying is crucial for performance and longevity.
Is it safe for painted surfaces on my motorcycle?
It is best to avoid prolonged contact with painted surfaces. If overspray occurs, wipe it off immediately with a clean cloth.
What is the best way to apply the cleaner to a chain?
With the engine off and the bike stable, spray the cleaner directly onto the chain while rotating the rear wheel slowly. Allow it to penetrate, then agitate with a brush if necessary before wiping clean.
Can this cleaner be used on electronic components?
This cleaner is intended for brake components and chains. It is not designed for use on electronic components and could cause damage.
Troubleshooting
Cleaner not spraying effectively
Ensure the can is shaken vigorously. Check if the nozzle is blocked; if so, clean it with a pin or suitable tool. Ensure the can is at room temperature.
Residue left after cleaning
Wipe down components with a clean, dry cloth immediately after cleaning. Ensure all dissolved contaminants are removed. A second light rinse with the cleaner followed by wiping may be necessary for very dirty parts.
Suspected damage to rubber seals or plastics
Immediately wipe off any overspray from non-metal parts. If damage is suspected, discontinue use on those components and consult product compatibility information or a professional.

- Protects sensitive internal chain components and dust seals.
- Powerful spray action for deep penetration.
- Versatile for use on multiple motorcycle parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Shake the aerosol can well before use. For optimal results, ensure the motorcycle is on a stable stand and protected from overspray. Always work in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors.
Compatibility: Safe for use on brake discs, drums, calipers, and drive chains. Avoid direct prolonged contact with painted surfaces, plastics, and rubber seals unless specifically confirmed as compatible. Test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Care: After spraying the cleaner, allow it to penetrate for a short period. Use a clean cloth or brush to agitate stubborn dirt. Wipe away dissolved contaminants thoroughly. Ensure all brake components are completely dry before reassembly or use. For chains, allow the cleaner to evaporate or wipe dry before applying fresh lubricant.
