    Levo Gen 2 2020 Levo Diagnostic Help

    I guess I had to damage it during tear down. I should have used a set of pliers to re install it as when you use your hands you can smash the wires a bit pushing it into the female connector. Lesson learned.

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Levo Diagnostic Help

    My local shop where I bought the bike was pretty helpful and let me swap out parts to isolate it to the cable between the motor and TCU. Luckily that cable was only $20. Luckily these bikes only have a few things to check, 3 wires, the TCU and then the motor itself. For future information...

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Levo Diagnostic Help

    Thanks for the thoughts. I did not check the bike before tear down. I pretty much rode it on 12/4/22 and put it away and did not touch it until tear down a week or so ago. It worked fine when I rode it and had worked fine all summer. I replaced the TCU battery (that was a fun job) and...

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Levo Diagnostic Help

    I have a 2020 Levo comp. Everything worked fine through this past season. I haven’t touched it in a month or so (I am in Colorado and it is ski season) and decided to do some maintenance which included full tear down, bearing replacement and cleaning. I did take the motor out and put...

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Levo turning off on downhills

    Yep, a bit of electric contact cleaner and wiping the whole area down seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the thoughts.

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Levo turning off on downhills

    I went on a fairly rocky rough fast descent today twice and both time the bike turned off about mid way down. When I got to the bottom I opened the charging port and re closed and it turned on fine and ran again for the uphill. Given the rough nature of the track I am guessing the charge port...

    Levo Gen 2 Levo Turbo 2020, shredding rear brake pads and discs.

    I know with my sram code brakes (without bite adjustment) I have to reset the pads a lot to get I so the bite point is further out from the bar. Basically take out the wheel and slowly squeeze the lever until the pads move a bit and then reinstall and check the bite point. Hope this helps

    Levo Gen 2 Levo 2020 motor grinding noise

    I know this an older post but I just started dealing with this same type of noise. I brought into LBS and got the motor changed out. Still making the noise after. It seems to happen more under heavier loads then flat pedaling. I checked all torque on bolts including the casette. Imoved the...

    Levo Gen 2 Internal shifter cable housing replacement

    Where the cables come out of the front of the bike frame. There is a little plastic cover you should remove.

    Levo Gen 2 Internal shifter cable housing replacement

    I couldn't wait for the reverb barb and it wasn't that bad to complete the job without it. I tried taping the two cable housing pieces together but the hole in the rear triangle is so small it wouldn't pull through. I ended up just pushing the new cable through and then there is a nasty bend...

    Levo Gen 2 Internal shifter cable housing replacement

    Well that amazon deal looks good. I ordered that reverb connector for $6 and if that doesn't work ill jump to the more elaborate kit. Thanks for the info everyone

    Levo Gen 2 Internal shifter cable housing replacement

    Looks like I need to replace the shifter cable housing and it doesn't look too easy. Any tips or tricks? My LBS told me to place a piece of old spoke in the old and new housing to keep them together but the only spokes I have don't seem to fit in the housing. I took off the cable guides...

    Which rear shock upgrade for a 2020 Levo

    What are thoughts on a different shock with external reservoir and still being able to use the water bottle/cage? I did an enduro race this weekend at a park and couldn’t believe how hot the rear got on a 5 minute descent. I would like to keep it air and prefer rock shox or fox and would...

    Another off grid charging question

    Maybe this explains it better for me. I was thinking 4a for 5 hours is 20ah of battery use but I guess that is wrong. The specialized charger is 4a at 42v (not sure why this is 42v when the battery is 36v but I will leave that to a different discussion) so 168W. Now if I run that for 5 hours...
