See, it's not that scary! (Don't ask me how many times I've dropped the motor on my own bike let alone others for maintenance or repairs as I can't remember). Cheers Leon

Technically you can do it without removing the motor - but it will make your life a lot easier doing so if you don't still have an outer cable tucked in there somewhere. You can leave 2 motor bolts connected and swing the motor down. This will make it easier to feed some foam sleeve onto the...

Nice one, looks great! Let us know how it feels?

They're no larger than an X2 yeah? If so there should be plenty of space. I'd be more concerned about a coil shock where there can be issues with the bottom edge of the spring/spring perch (my current shock a 2025 DHX2 with SLS 650LB coil almost contacts the seat tube at rest)... See photos pg10...

Thanks mate. Currently running a DHX2 Coil shock and really enjoying it. Not as poppy but way more planted and feels more capable in the rough.

Looks nice, mate! If you ever have to fiddle with a dropper cable (or want to practice dropping the motor) it's a good idea to run some foam cable sleeve the full length of the brake hose and gear cable - I found this made a big difference (otherwise could get a bit of rattle where they run on...

I'm not sure to be honest. I successfully had one replaced under warranty with seemingly more frequent issues than most, but I didn't get much back by way of a response, just replacement parts sent. I guess the headset (made by Token) has a place, but in practice may not quite be up to the task...

There's nothing you can do other than replace the headset (other than keep it tight and clean/greased every couple of rides?) Otherwise you'll quickly see wear on the headset cups etc. It's a poor quality headset with plastic parts. Replaced mine with an Acros version with an aluminium...

Did that have a little white cover on it? There's definitely one off the end of the battery that is white or has a white cover on it... The red connector may be to power the Live Valve controller ie on the EL 1/0... Failing that there is a light connector up near the head tube under the Ride...

Also, someone was asking about difficulty of removing the Ride Control Ergo (handlebar switch). It is very easy. just pick up the front flap of the Ride Control Ergo from the front edge (it's magnetic) and find a 2mm allen key bolt underneath. Remove this and disconnect the connector for the RC...

Like this? Sorry, late to the party (did this last year).... 185x55 (2.5mm longer stroke) as others have done without issue.
