I love that you made this video of the steering damper mod! It's going to help so many others out there with this same issue! It must have added a lot of time to the process having to set up the camera for all the shots. You're a good person for taking the time to do all of that for everyone! Im so glad the mod worked for you too! Your rides are going to be way more enjoyable now and so much safer!
Absolutely, its all thanks to you too. Your guidance helped me make this possible. 😎👊
I just drilled through my frame and installed a aftermarket steering damper. Works way better than the stock damper. I have a short video of it on You Tube. Shorts, I wish I could make a better video about it. But I listed the specific parts used.
Special shout out to molecricket for inventing this mod!
Hey bro do you know what brake pads we need yet? Wanted to order some on ali but haven't taken a close look at the old ones yet.
Someone recommended me these and said they fit the RS so i have them in my watch list on Amazon but i haven't bought them yet to see if they look the same. I know for sure that the Kaabo WolfKing GTR brake Rotors fit the RS 100%.

@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 awesome thank you!
@@ScootaGang you're very welcome my bro! 😀
Subbed. For me, it's either the RS/RS Lite or Wolf King GT Pro. My Apollo Phantom V2, while a total blast to ride, just isn't enough anymore. Plus, the battery in mine has seriously degraded. About this steering damper issue, what do you think about casting an entire new one out of polyurethane?
@ballandpaddle not sure if it would work well. It might. Though.
Great video and very informative. I subscribed to your channel as well. It’s awesome that Inmotion is partnering with you as well, you deserve it for the work you put in. Keep making videos sir 👍🏾
Thank you very much, im glad i earned your subscription. It means alot to me to see this channel grow. 🙇♂️🙏
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983I would have used your code if I knew but I just bought the S1F literally cause you explained the difference to me between the g2 I really hope it’s all it’s cracked up to be I’m excited to get it :) How are you doing today 🥰
@yellowgirlt8439 hi, its ok please dont worry. Im happy you got to pick a scooter. There are so many choices out there that it can get overwhelming to pick one, specially if you can't test ride one for your self to get a feel for it before buying. Im doing good today thank you so much for asking. 😁🙏
Hey Louie I have the exact problem as you mentioned I will try your fix soon thank you so much!
So far its been holding up very good and havent jad any speed wobble issues. Specially on smooth pavement where before even on smooth pavement i would get speed wobble before the mod. 👍😁
Brother are you losing weight? You're looking good!
Also bro I don't want to be weird or anything but I need help. My Wolf Warrior rear tire popped and I don't feel comfortable changing it myself
I don't want to ruin my scooter and I'm not confident to do it myself
And I don't have the money to take it to voro motors
Is there any way you can help me out and I would find some way to pay you?
Maybe it could be content for the channel and I could learn from there
Porfa man no se como le voy hacer
Let me see if i can figure out how to change it first by watching a few videos, i definitely have most of the tools needed for the job. I think i should be able to do it. Tire changes are definitely not easy at all on scooters lol.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 thank you dude I just need to see someone do it once and I'm sure I can do it myself with confidence
Or in whatever way you have capacity to do it is a big help
It's the Wolf Warrior X GT
My main hang up is the de pinning and the bending of the hall sensors
Also since the scooter goes fast I don't want to ruin it and get myself hurt
Eternally grateful to you man!
@wesleyhidalgo1418 no problem, it seems after watching a few videos its the same method as my RS. Some of Kaabo's scooter have that split rim thing which is good for tire changes but bad because the split rim lip can break easier, obviously you would need a good amount of force for it to break but i did hear about it. It happened to Yogi steve on his GTR.
@wesleyhidalgo1418 i just finished seeing a VoroMotors video on the Warrior X GT i didnt want you to think i wasnt looking at any possible advice i could find and yeah i see what you mean. I would be afraid to break something on the scooter if i worked on it. I would have to buy some De pinning tools to carefully take the wires off the connector pin. I honestly don't feel confident to do it 😅🙏 does the tire have a tube in it or is it the tubeless style? Thats the only thing i wasn't able to get clear. It seems some have tubes and some dont but im not sure if its the users changing them from tube to tubless.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 no problem brother
Things are looking up for me now and I'm taking it to voro soon
I just need to rent a uhaul to drop it off but I'm not really worried about it anymore
Ive been doing Uber eats with my hiboy and I like it better because I can take it inside easier
With the wolf warrior GT j have to lock it every time
But thank you for looking into it
Maybe we can meet on one of Yogi Steve's rides
But damn getting on Facebook is almost too high a price to pay lol
love your videos from toronto canada
Thank you so much for watching, it means a lot to me. 🙇♂️🙏
Cool mod!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you guys so much, hearing from you all is an honor to me. 🙏
Awesome tutorial. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I dont own RS just yet, being new and giving Inmotion a chance to fix all kinks.
😁👊
Nice job you should remove the cable in the middle to put them inside 🤝♥️💪🏻🇧🇬
Thank you, i actually did try when i first got it but the way inmotion designed their handlebar stem it wouldn't be possible without me having to heavily modify the stem by drilling a large hole to run the wires through it. I feel like having the cables hidden inside the stem would make the scooter look so much better. That's one of the reasons i just ziptied the cable loom on one side of the handlebar stem. Plus, it no longer smacks around the stem like it did at first. I thought there was a defect on my scooter, but then i found out it was the wire loom that was hitting the stem while riding, causing the noise 😅
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 my friend let me know if you come new model because I like to change my king GT to this model thank you 🙏🏻♥️🇧🇬
Great video. Could not have asked for a better explanation and recording of the process. You really are great at making instructional videos. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot to me. Working Alone and trying to get good camera angles with the best clarity is pretty hard. I even going to upgrade my old 13 year old 32 inch tv thats been giving me brightness flickering problems to a larger tv that has good brightness capabilities so i can see the video images better before i hit record on the camera 😅
Is there a way to adjust handlebars more outwards?
Bro what’s up! AJ here from Illinois! So I got my new RS a few days ago, getting use to it. I went to a faster street, put my RS on 3rd as I got ip to over 40mph and my steering handle started to wobble uncontrollably. Omg it scared the crap out of me, I just let go of the throttle, slowed down and pulled over. So the next day, I tightened up my damper took my RS for a spin. This time, I got up to 54mph and my steering handle again started wobbling like crazy. So, I think I’m going to try your idea and see if it will solve the problem
@aldrinargosino7979 Hi AJ, i experienced the same exact thing lol. Its like what you literally just said i re-lived in my head lol. Yeah if you do this mod it will definitely solve the problem. I can go i to gear 4 and i get no more speed wobbles. The best part about this mod is that you wont have to excessively tighten the damper like you have to right now.
Hi, I was really interested in if you would recommend me to purchase the inmotion RS. I was trying to decide on a new scooter. I am down to Segway GT2, Nami burn e 2 max, and the inmotion rs. I like the adjustability of the inmotion rs. I know you rode the Segway gt2 not sure if you tried Nami burn e 2 max. But voromotors sent discount of $600 to me off inmotion rs. Would you buy now or wait? And see if inmotion makes mods on next years model.
I would honestly buy at that discount price. I don't think you will regret it. The only thing i do recommend is the Steering damper mod i did. I ride in gear 2 which goes to 38Mph on GPS but 40Mph on the display and the scooter feels super stable at that speed as well. I havent had a chance to try out a Nami Burn E yet hopefully in the future i will.
Awesome job! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. 🙏🙇♂️
Well, looks like I will have to do this mod too after I order my RS lite, thanks for sharing the info. BTW does anyone have any updated discount codes? I have tried the ones listed and they don't seem to work anymore.
If you get the Midnight version from VoroMotors the code: TAG1983MIDNIGHT will definitely work, its a little tricky to add the code. You basically have to select to (check out) and then once it takes you to the next page to pay, click on "Show Order Summary" then type in mt discount code and save $200.00 on the order. I just tested it out and it worked for me. Hope this helps.
Glad that fix worked! Now you can ride with some peace of mind 😊. Congrats! Great video and super detailed as always. You make it easy for folks to follow along.
Thank you, thats some good feedback to hear. Im always doubting myself when it comes to making these tutorial videos not being sure if i did it good or what i could have done to make it better. 😅
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 Nah you’re spot on and explain everything in detail. Keep up the excellent work 😊.
Looks like they also have a Lite version of the RS now. Could be a great opportunity for you to talk through some of the differences.
Glad you solve the wobble issue! Was admiring the blue sky during your ride. Damn, those are some pricey scooters!!! Anything over a grand is too rich for my blood LOL! Btw, i updated the firmware on the Max G2 to v1.10.15 and it definitely has more power when you start. They also added a "park on slope" mode which is kinda handy so you dont have to hold the brake on a hill.
That is so cool!!!! Man i wish i could ride my MAX G2 but im still waiting on Segway to eventually start selling the handlebar so i can fix it and start riding it again. I love these hyper scooters i have but rhere have been multiple times were i just want to ride a lighter weight commuter. 😅
Nice
Also Electric Scooter Academy aka Mr Yogi Steve remembers you and is happy I used your code instead of his. You must have made a good impression when you guys met
He seems like a cool stand up dude
That is nice of him yeah man i met him at rider fest he is such a cool dude. We were talking like if we known each other for years. I actually want to go to one of his group rides but i still gotta do a range test in gear 2 to make sure my scooter can keep up with everyone range wise specially cause im a BIG dude at 287lbs so range is a big deal when it comes to these groups rides.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 I totally get you
I'm around 240ish right now and I'm 5'6 I feel you on the range
Right now I'm doing Uber eats on my hiboy S2 pro in downtown la and I gotta say it's really been the best purchase I made
The wolf warrior only lasted a couple days before the tube popped
I foolishly pumped it up to 50 psi and didn't account for my weight
The hiboy is putting in work tho
heyyy . What kinda jbl are you using and the thing that holds the jbl to the inmotion
Hi, i have a JBL Charge 5 which fits Perfectly on the scooter. As for the holding strap here is a link to the same one i have. It works great! I also have a JBL extreme 3 but it was way too big which is why i bought the Charge 5. Its plenty loud even riding at 50mph.

I also have this Silicone sleeve over it to give it more grip with the straps.

@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 youre amazing thank you so much!!!
Hello question rubber plate 3 mm and good?
@pedromonteiro7454 3mm is pretty much equal to 1/8" which is right below 3/32", so it should be fine. You might feel the movement on the handlebar a bit more firm, but i wouldn't say that's a bad thing as it will definitely still help with stability on high speeds.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983Hi, in France at least I can't find these 1.5mm
@@pedromonteiro7454 😥 not even the 3mm?
That car almost ran you over at 28:36! I wanted to see how you handled that. Great video!
Thank you. Yeah im definitely used to that. To be fair to the red tesla it was in a blind spot so it couldn't see me so rhat would have been an unfortunate accident if it would have driven fast at its turn. The blue BMW driver definitely seen me and he would have been at fault. Its also one of the reason i have a 2 channel mirror dashcam installed on this RS. Though i am seriously looking for insurance to cover accidents on this scooter. Just to give me peace of mind. 😅🙏
Dope vid bro!
Thank you very much. 🙏🙇♂️
Did inmotion fix this problem ?
Unfortunately not yet. It seems they probably aren't going to as not a lot of people are apparently experiencing speed wobbles at high speeds like some of us do so this will still need to be done. The most expensive thing in this mod is the glue, as long as the person doing the mod hasnt damaged their original steering damper like i did trying to tighten it more. 😅
Glue is always expensive 😂
Why do you have to cut it tho is my question
@mando-hondadc2992 that's a very good question, the main reason is because without cutting at least that little bridge in the middle, the damper won't be flexible to grab on to the steering damper neck/post so. It would pretty much still be the same without that bridge. This is also why in the video i told Inmotion that they should just do that from the start at the factory so the damper doesn't break from overtightening it. 😁👍 the mod does work, though. Im still riding around with zero speed wobbles.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 thank you so much for explaining that more for a dummy like me haha I just purchased mines and I’ll be doing this mod as soon as I get it
Dude ur videos rock. So much detail its perfect! Happy I subscribed. Lots of useful information. I absolutely love my rs. I’ve been riding it to work everyday. No issues other then it was to cold to charge so I put a heater on it for a lil bit and then worked like a charm./ keep it in my garage. First partial charge though! Def love it . Been a blast but def tearing it nice and alowly figuring it out but haven’t had any issues w it so far. I put under glow on it and my dash cam is great thanks to u! My little screws fell out tho so I have a little mod I need to figure out besides zip ties but all is good! Keep the videos up they are great
Thank you so much. Yeah the little screws for the Dash cam are M2 x 12mm sizes screws and if i remember correctly i think they are pan head screws. I hope your able to get that fixed. 🙏🙇♂️
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 oh no it was the little screws for the rearview camera. I just ziptied around the cord and then to my reflector . So far so good but not a permanent fix
@adamstevens3428 oh!!!!!!! I did the same thing with one of my orher scooters and the same WDR camera. I actually upgraded the screws to a larger number 4 or M4 size coarse screw and if i can remember correctly i believe the length was 1/2" but i also added the ziptie over it as well. In the RS i did a Ziptie too plus some 3M double sided tape with a 1/8" thick ABS plastic i cut up to make into a bracket for the rear of the scooter and i used a Heat gun to be able to bend it in an L shape and drilled 2 holes to attached it to the existing screw for the reflector thingy and that little bumpy pin thing on the side of the reflector to keep the reflectot balanced with the camera. It worked qns so far its still on by my surprise. 😅👍
I’m glad this worked out well for you, I know mine failed on me as well when I had my RS
Thanks man, it really is messed up that the Inmotion RS didnt work out for you. Even today some are experiencing issues with their RS and some are not. My only two issues were the steering damper speed wobble and the Vibration from the front and rear tire feeling like offroad tires with 40+PSI which others aren't experiencing at all. Still cant figure out if its my tires or something else.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 yea the gtr is a beast so far. They still upset me because when I received the gtr the battery wasn’t seated properly and damaged the connector around it. Speaking to them now about it.
That definitely sounds like your tires
@hurdthenerd they did it again? Good Lord what the hell. They made this BIG video on how they were going to be taking good care of the battery during transportation to avoid having any issues. Man, i truly am so sorry you have experienced yet another issue. I hope they move fast with fixing this for you. About the tires yeah im think thats the issue. Ill probably change them later.
@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 hey ive been enjoying your videos and wanted to send you a message directly but couldn’t find any other social media then youtube my question was your opinion on the rs long term and if you would do that or the nami burn e max cheers 😊
@Mluis95 hi, im glad you were able to ask this, i would absolutely do this again with the RS. I feel like it's going to last me a while. Based on its performance, i would definitely buy it again over any other scooter. The Nami Burn E Max is another excellent scooter too so i think i would just come down to the design choice and whether you need to be able to adjust the height of the handlebar so it feels better controlled and the height of the deck should you want to raise or lower it more to make your ride feel comfortable.
