I have already had mine replaced under warranty for that issue once and am waiting to get it replaced again. On both of our Levo SLs, there is no side-side play at all. Mine only got worse over time. Bearings on a shaft should not move side to side unless something has shifted as they should be press fit on. If its not the bearing on the shaft, it is the bearing housing that is allowing the bearing to shift side to side which could mean the bearing's outer casing may be spinning in there as well. I am sending mine in for the second time for the same issue. I wonder how many other KSL or LSL have the same side to side movement in this area?

Mine's not side to side it's got a little play up and down
How have you found it? I seem to bottom out coil shocks on mine but I was really interested in these with the adjustable hbo feature.

Haven’t ridden this bike yet and just noticed this where the shock is mounted is that normal?

It's the place where manual made mistake of 10nm magnitude right? I am considering printing the torque value and stick it there so no service will overtighten it by accident, such a flimsy place for this to happen.

New motor for sure!
Fitted the 2023 RS Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate to my S5 Kenevo SL this weekend and super impressed after the 1st ride. Fork is a 180mm ZEB Ultimate (Buttercup) and this coil shock is a game changer for this bike. I am curious for more info on settings for this shock as 1st ride was running both LSC & HSC fully open, Rebound on 15/20 clicks "in" from fully open and the HBO one click "in" - I am 92kg without kit and chose the 600lb coil which seems to fit 30% sag easily (mid pre-compression). The back wheel is glued to the ground now and very smooth in rock gardens. Also very predictable and pops off the jump face with plenty support on landing. The Zeb is set at 70PSi, no spacers, HSC fully open and LSC fully open. Is anyone riding similar weight & set up and if so I'm curious on their shock (and fork) settings? Thanks ...

Loving my Kenevo SL. Bought it to replace one of my Levos and an Enduro. Really, really like the way it rides. A few upgrades: Fox Factory 38 fork, Fox Float X2 Factory, Traverse SL carbon bars, Traverse carbon wheels. Oh, and I made the Kashima matching Specialized decals with my wife's Cricut die-cutting machine.

Great looking bike. You should replace the grey Fox decals with gold for the matchey matchey look.

If this has been discussed please forgive me. Has anyone heard anything about KSL compatibility options with SRAM transmission?

Hey anyone have this issue...
So mid-ride the display just shut off and shows a battery and nothing else. F1 F2 + - buttons work and cycle thru and the motor still cycles thru modes(eco, trail, turbo) but the screen/display shows nothing. Reboots and unplugging and dissecting the wires in the top tube have been looked at and nothing in the mission control app seems wrong.

The first thing I would try is changing the battery for the TCU unit.

Nope, there is no clip.
thanks @George_yt maybe they are right them, just looked odd with the black screw there. cheers
Looks like there should be a clip to hold the hose: Kenevo SL - Kenevo SL brake change - easy?

Huh funny, there really is one in the CGI video. But I've done 2000 km on my KSL without it :- ) And I use 220mm rotor in rear.

Try a TCU reset. Plenty of instructions on YouTube for it.

I’ve never run into to this problem, neither on my own Levo or any costumers bikes. Did you try to turn ON/OFF the stealth mode on the Mission Control app? When it’s On it shows the battery like on your picture, then it shows the 3 modes every time you push +/- just in small letters.
It’s just a suggestion easy to try.
Good luck.
