Cleaning oil from front brake pads

[autobatch]

Maybe everyone already knows this but just in case you don't, I want to share it with the world. The front brakes on my fine Honda CX400 were really bad because oil from the front shocks got on them. I fixed the shocks but the oil was still there so I took out the pads and boiled them in a mixture of dishwashing detergent and water. They are now perfect!

Sounds like a good idea, that...

$10 Brake cleaner also works well in my experience with the same issue. Spray on - wait a couple minutes. Ride away :)

Sounds like one of those "when we were kids we didn't have any of that fancy tinned stuff, my mum used to make us soup by..." speeches.
