This is perfect Johnny exactly what we asked for 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Better how to than the others I found now I can do this to mine! Thanks for this you've helped me alot! 2023 sur ron is amazing by the way peeps best ebike I've ever had!
Thank you it's nice to hear as helps me make more. And I hope it helped
Thanks
Hey Johnny, thanks for the advice and your hard work! I Love my Sur-Ron!
Hey thank you that's appreciated 🙏 great bikes, so much fun on them
Thanks! Great video! Very helpful. Mine is making a little noise. I'll be doing this soon. I agree on the belt dressing.
2 things.... You can use chalk, like chalkboard chalk to silence the belt ( it fills the voids). Also to check belt tension you twist the belt and it should be able to twist to no more than 90° using medium to heavy force
Great idea to up load a video of maintenance
Absolutely amazing mate keep it up! My birthday today ayeree! ❤️❤️ love the content Johnny 🤩
Cheers my friend and Happy Birthday! Hope you had a good day so far 🎂
MOTO MACHINEZ UK thank you so much mate much appreciated x
Good on ya mate, No nonsense informative and to the point! subbed..
Thank you and hope it helped
Thank you very much, it is a great help 😁👍
Thanks for the video... I've been messing around with the belt tension quite a bit and wondered if you had a very difficult time trying to align the motor? I did the same as you and used calipers to measure where the bolts line up on either side within the slots and find it extremely difficult. The amount of upward force on one side and downward force on the other to align the bolts makes me worry that I'm actually damaging the threads.
i just used a bit of silicone spray. works for now but i want to readjust belt as you did. so thank you for tutorial!
belt started to squeak after my friend used car wash foam to clean the bike.
Ah maybe thats why mine started to squeak, I use washing up liquid. I actually now have some aerospace protectant to put on it, seems like some good legit stuff but time will tell. That's handy to know its stopped it for now. No problem thank you for feedback and glad it's helped. Cheers
@@motomachinezuk8786 i adjusted motor on my bike - has like 3mm difference - a lot better and less resistance to rolling. thank you
Excellent video, thank you
Cheers for the positive feedback
Thank you
Well done mate. I went ahead and ordered the primary drive chain conversion to go with the new Litespeed battery and ERT controller. Some day I will get the battery, haha!
I think you need that kit for that upgrade from the amount of belts snapping on people. Which option have you gone for the 420 chain or smaller quiter 1 I see more of a mtb chain. Would be nice to have battery myself, just will keep saving.
MOTO MACHINEZ UK It looks like the chain is smaller than the 420. It should arrive this week!
MOTO MACHINEZ UK I just got the conversation kit. It’s a 420 chain! I also got the email from Litespeed and the 72v battery is on the way. This will be interesting... ha! Cheers
When mine starts squeaking I will take the cover off and spin the belt with the throttle and blast the belt with compressed air.
You’ll be amazed how much dust like stuff comes off the belt
Good advice I shall give it a go thanks for sharing this tip 👍
Yep.. every couple months clean the sand and dust. I wish i had air... i use a tooth brush lol
Thanks mate!
Awesome!! The video I have been waiting for! Now to do mine! Its been making a loud whining sound, very embarrassing and loud lol. Are you just pushing the motor up and down with the screwdriver?
Yes just applying a little pressure and holding it still with the screwdriver. Motor moves so freely that this helps keep it still and in place. Mine is so much more quieter now not sure why it got louder tho that needs investigating. Unless it is just because belt drying out. Thank you and glad to hear it might help some people.
You rock!!!
Thanks for the great videos Jonny, i've learned a lot from them 👍
Thats good to hear that some people find the useful. Appreciate the feedback mate 👍
@@motomachinezuk8786 Yes man! I knew nothing about bikes when I got my Sur ron. Interesting to hear your comparisons with gas bikes and also all of the maintenance/hacks etc. Keep up the good work man.
@@JayOh nice 1 I'm glad because that helps me make more. When I first got mine there was hardly any info on yt so took me a little to work it out and decided to share and help people be more confident working o their bikes. I got some more handy tips to record and 1 is quite important. Sur rons bring all backgrounds together, mtb, mx, enduro riders and new people, cater for so many. And thank you again the feedback is very much appreciated
3:08 the sound of confidence 🤣🤣😘😘
Appreciate the videos I was wondering how many miles you think roughly that you had on your Sur-Ron when you adjusted the tension the first time
I checked it first after 6 months, mainly wanted to see how it was and worked. I probably had a good 400 miles on it then. Thank you, hope the content helps
Good job. Nicely explained.
Thank you im glad it was clearly explained, appreciate the feedback 😊
@@motomachinezuk8786 I'm no expert in belts, but I heard that they can stretch initially from new and then settle. Especially on high load applications, like drives.
@@regineauxrheinkreuzer258 I hear you it makes sense that does. I like this kinda feedback and input. I dread having to change it as looks like the suspension and swing arms needs to come off
@@motomachinezuk8786 I'm sure it won't be too much of a problem for you and when you've done it once, the second time is easier! ;)
@@regineauxrheinkreuzer258 the first is daunting but yes will only get easier, cheers for the vote of confidence 👍
Paid 4600 for the road version. Done 190 miles, cut the restrictor wire, because it was dangerously slow on a real road and the belt frayed and snapped at 196 miles. It's in the shop. Hopefully I've not voided my warranty. 4 days old 🤢 also never went above 35 and that was for like 5 seconds
G'day m8, how'd you end up after everything?
Ave cut my wire and not changed my belt ever on 1228 miles
you went 196 miles in 4 days 😂 cap
Finally got chance to watch this lol great vid mate would love to get a sur ron might just have to take an ear bashing off the wife and get 1 lol it’s a tuff decision to make my left bollox or a sur ron gonna give it some thought lol
Lol you would not regret the bike, maybe the bollock though depends if you want more kids. They even sell very well 2nd hand so could always sell.
I think the ear bashing will be worth it.
How many miles have u got on it and what problems have u had
what foodpegs you have ?
How you lubricate it?
Hi mate, im unable to loosen the bolts at all! Do you have any tips, I don't own a soldering iron but gave a hairdryer? Thanks for any help!
My belt is SO tight!
Put a metal bar through big drive belt rotor so it locks it in place and put a wrench on the small belt nut and stand on the wrench and give a little jump on it and put all weight down on it and it’ll come loose.
I did this and now my bolts holding my bigger pulley on the jackshaft is rubbing the frame where the bolts are to hold the pulley
Hi mate by upgrading the belt does. It
Make it any faster as
Mine does 43mph flat out thanks
Belt will do nothing for performance
It's been a while! Hope all has been well! Just a curious question, my surron has been making a whinning noise when I ride it, would you happen to know the cause? It's like a high pitch whine, it comes and goes, was thinking mayhe the belt drive?
Alright mate, is it like a high pitched faint noise that mainly happens when battery fully charged? Happens usually within 5 mins of being on bike then goes after a few mins ? Mine does this and I think its battery
@@motomachinezuk8786 ahhhhhhhhh yesss, maybe, thank you!!!
@@motomachinezuk8786 heres what it sounds like ua-cam.com/video/Knu_hJhCuIA/v-deo.html
Very annoying lol
@@user-yd1vi9zf6w yes that sounds like the noise I get and I can't 100 percent put finger on it but sounds to me like from battery and mainly happens when battery full. Happens within 5 mins for a min or 2 depending. Every time I hear it i try to pin point it and like I say I think from battery, not sure why though.
@@motomachinezuk8786 ok sounds about the same! Just driving me nuts! Glad to hear someone else hearing it. Thought I was going crazy lol. Thank you for the reply!
Definitely use chalk to lube the belt 😁👌
The factory belt is actually REALLY good..don't know why people knock it..
What happens if you run the belt too tight, mines been squeaking when i roll the bike (with the motor off)
It could be the belt dry and stiff. I find mine can squeak when not used for a week or so and was cleaned. If its not tight then that probably the noise. It will go after a bit. Also I use 303 that was recommended to me on my belt now and I'm alot happier with it. Wonder if washing up liquid dries belt out a little.
If belt is too tight then won't last long, could even effect bearings. Is if aligned correctly?
whats wrong with belt dressing? couldnt you say its the same as chain lubrication? I dont understand
303 aerospace protectant is what I now use as quality stuff but that cheap belt protector aerosol is a very short fix personally I've not had joy with. I said that only my experience. Yes belt protector is like chain lube, a con. Only use 2stroke oil on chain with a brush to prevent rust. Keeps it looking tidy.
Yea. I tried dressing and it's horribly sticky. I wouldn't use it on a surron belt again
Is that back wheel wobbling
Yes it was a little out of true so wobbling a little
hi mate, how much did you pay for your bike?
Not as much as they are selling for now just under 4k
I have 5000 kilometres and i’ve got no problem doing 70/80km/h
your rear tire seems to need trueing... wobbly as hell
Did u get u sur Ron of merse bikes
No I got it from all4 off road Nuneaton
Oh I’m getting mine from mersesude bikes
I'm not sure what area that shop is but I'm kinda midlands
Liverpool
Ffs gotta watch this later my wife and her mate are here making to much noise I can’t hear a thing lol bluddy women
Haha I get the same problem but mostly noisy kids crying for attention. My time to watch vids is once everyone asleep 😴 lol. Hope you get a chance to watch
As soon as our lass has her mates round I'm straight in the shed polishing my spanners
Looks like your wheel needs to be trued too
Please disconnect your batteries before you start messing with the motor guys 😊
60VDC is high voltage current and could kill someone with a heart condition
your back wheel looked buckled
I now what you mean I noticed but 4hink it was just the tyre, but I do want to check i just need it on a truing stand
@@motomachinezuk8786 Rim is out of true. Spoke adjustment
put a chain drive on her
While my bike is standard I don't actually want the noisy chain option. I'm trying to keep it as quiet as possible and the chain I hear makes alot more noise
