    Norco Slight won’t turn on E8000

    Can someone help me start my Norco Slight E8000? I haven’t been on my bike for nearly 3 months & when I went to turn the motor on this morning, it’s not responding. My battery is fully charged & I’ve checked all wire connections at the display unit. My wife’s Merida’s bike does a similar thing...

    Shimano E8000 ST Unlocker..now bike doesn't work

    Sorry mate I am far from tech savvy myself. I had one of my sons friends help me with it.

    Shimano XT 12 speed creaking

    I had a very similar sound on my bike last week. It appears that it was some long grass that was caught up in the rear cassette. I just give it a good clean, reoiled the chain & presto the noise has gone.

    Free Beer!! 1Up Bike Rack Owners!

    I’d love to take you up on your six pack offer..but maybe Brisbane Australia is a little too far for the beer to stay cold. I have recently purchased a Thule T2 Pro it has regularly transported my Merida 9k & my mates Norco VLT. It’s ease of loading, lockablity and secure transportation suits...

    Shimano E8000 ST Unlocker..now bike doesn't work

    Thanks Raine. Maybe that would be a better way to downgrade the FW, by doing it in two stages. However I don’t think I’ll have the confidence to be doing that either. Not within the foreseeable future anyway. But I never say never, so who knows. ?

    Shimano E8000 ST Unlocker..now bike doesn't work

    Hi jcoote. My bike shop is still not having any luck getting my bike to turn on. I’ve told them to updated the firmware via the cable & computer. But they’re telling me that they can’t do it that way until they can get the motor to turn on. Does this sound right to you?

    Those symptoms sounds the same as mine. I’ll think about the cable and let you know. Cheers

    Thanks mate so did your bikes system lockup after the firmware downgrade? Just out of curiosity what symptoms did you experience? And how much are you wanting for the cable?

    I haven’t tried the dongle, however I’ve heard of a lot more problems with the dongle then that of the ST app. The app is also a lot cheaper

    When I dropped the bike off, I played the “I’m innocent your Homer” card. Nothing has been mentioned about the FW. So fingers crossed for when the new battery arrives.

    Shimano E8000 ST Unlocker..now bike doesn't work

    Hi guys. I agree the app is an easy way for someone to make some minor changes to their bikes settings for a very small investment. I simply started this thread to ask if others had experienced the same symptoms when they downgraded their FW and to inform others of my experiences. If I had my...

    Shimano E8000 ST Unlocker..now bike doesn't work

    Yes very simple to adjust these settings. Assistance levels are still adjustable within the ST Unlocker app and is very easy to adjust. If you just change the region to US your speedometer will read accurately, however if you decrease your wheel circumstance size within the app, it will then...

    Shimano E8000 ST Unlocker..now bike doesn't work

    I’m not 100% sure what caused the battery to fail. I had done about 800kms of flawless riding, up until the time I downgraded the FW. Then a sub 1km ride and the battery failed..coincidence..who knows. When I get the bike back I won’t downgrade the FW again and just put up with the inaccuracy...

    Shimano E8000 ST Unlocker..now bike doesn't work

    My LBS has rung me to say that the battery had died & are waiting on a new one to be delivered under warranty ?. Now was this just a coincidence that the battery died after loading the older firmware... who knows!! My recommendation would be download the app, change the region to US & change...

    Thanks Dan63 that’s very kind of you. I’m located in the Coorparoo area. However I’ve dropped the bike off to the bike shop this arrvo (with my tail between my legs) and awaiting the outcome.

    Shimano E8000 ST Unlocker..now bike doesn't work

    Thanks Horspwr I had done it that way at first, but was hoping to have the flexibility of leaving ECO @ 25km to maximize battery range , Trail @ 35km for that little extra on the trails & Boost @ 45km just to showoff. Also by changing the circumference it gives an inaccurate speedometer...

    Shimano E8000 ST Unlocker..now bike doesn't work

    Thanks for your response Raine, I was somewhat aware of the risks involved with the firmware downgrade, so I was being extremely cautious during the procedure. It took about 5 minutes to complete and by all accounts worked perfectly....well obviously not :( The ST Unlocker app & licence was...
