    Royal enfield Classic-Rear disc problems

    I have a gunmetal grey C350.
    Yesterday while I was working with the bike, I accidentally spilled oil in the rear brake assembly.
    I did find it out only today and tried cleaning the disc with a detergent and using sand paper for the pads
    However the brake is not functional and has zero effect in slowing down.
    Should changing the pads work or what should i do?

      Clean it with diesel/thinner and then let it dry out for a day, it will gradually start working.

        Break pads are not costly, your life is.
        Better change ASAP

        The bikes are very smart, but it's still up to you to keep the rubber side down.

          A couple of years ago one Yamaha authorized service center that I used to go had a habit of polishing the disc brakes along with the rest of the bike after every service.
          It made both the brakes useless for about 100 kms.

          Vim bar (or any other soap made to wash utensils), is a great way to clean that oil off. Because it is specially made to wash off oil and grease from our food plates.

          use hot water and dish soap to clean the rotor, it will bring back some of the braking capabilities, but don't expect full recovery, cause brake pads absorb some of the oil.
          Ride carefully for the next few days and use both brakes simultaneously to get best results.

          You will have full brake function in a couple of days.
          No need to throw away perfectly good pads or replace them.
          I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.
