Delboy has the best garage videos and I watch him a lot. IMO he is wrong on that one.

Floating discs are the only ones that should be cleaned, semi-floating by design does not need cleaning.

Do you think Yamaha would have missed such important brake maintainance procedure if it was required?

The point is rivets has high pressure by design and they are not meant to be rotated, consider yourself lucky there are not holes there  :lol

Gotta agree with you on this one, plus I tried it myself before and it did nothing!
