Hi guys, looking for some advice or an answer if possible regarding current issues my 2022 Kenevo SL
In short, last april/may time at BPW the motor packed up after a small off mid corner, bike just fell to the floor at slow speed as I slipped out and didnt power back on.
Went to Specialized Leicester and they replaced the motor under the warranty scheme, 2 months later I start getting poor performance from battery and max charge limit 90% so I replaced the battery myself (a qualified LGV and car mechanic of nearly 20yrs), then bust my collarbone and the bikes parked up for nearly 3 months. Once back at it bikes working great while riding but needs me to pull mastermind before every ride to unplug and replug (ended up taking a t10 out with me on every ride incase it turned itself off)
Eventually bored of this fault early this year it goes back in to Specialized Leicester and has a software update, bike works great in the shop, I take the bike home (nearly an hour away) and a week later on the first use a warning message appears 'No motor check app' so phoned Specialized they told me id now need a new wiring, so went down yesterday and collected the loom, took the bike back to them for code clearing and software update again, road test the bike for 10miles at a local park, performed perfectly.. Came back to it this morning, entirely dead, wont turn on at all, pulled the mastermind and tried the unplug replug trick a few times, nothing, tried to to plug the mastermind into USB to charge, nothing, tried reconnecting the entire system and charging through bikes main charger port, nothing, tried the function button reset and mastermind is entirely dead.
Ive been back and forth to specialized a number of times now and its nearly an hour each way for me so this is becoming expensive and annoying to deal with when I was told everytime it goes in theres no fault with it yet their obviously is.
In less than 12 months its had the motor, battery and wiring loom replaced and its just never been right since the original fault of motor failure, could this now mean the mastermind has finally failed too?
Appreciate thats a long post but wanted all the details up so I wasnt getting into a back and forth about what has and hasnt been done so far
Any help is appreciated at this point
