Back Pedal & Clutch Slip

[ehfour]

hey guys/gals- picked up a Relay and had 2 questions

1) Any concerns with back pedaling the motor? IE: when going to Lube the chain on the ground, if I were to stick an allen key in the chainring spider to lock out the motor freehub. I didn't see anything in the Fazua website

2) Has anyone else felt a slip or engagement step, when pedaling from a stand still? Regardless of power mode and only on the left side

1) Tend to use a bike stand or re-usable strap around the pedal and chain ring. No problems so far back-pedalling to clean/lube.
2) No but I'm on a fairly new bike. Assume the crank is properly nipped up tight / on correctly. Only left side sounds more like a crank issue to me but I'm relatively new to eMTBs, old hand at home fettling MTBs though.

A bike stand and walk mode is a great way to lube the chain
