I also protect the shocks on my KTM. On the Touratech site you can find " Shock socks". They cost almost nothing but keep your shocks absolute clean and dust and water can't go in through the seals. There are also Shocksocks for the front steering. They have a smaller diameter. Also companies like Acerbis do sell them i think. They are doing a hell of a nob for keeping the shocks clean and prolonge their life.
Now I have finally ordered a Wolf Warior 11+. It is delivered from E-Wheels in Norway. (I live in Northern Norway) So then I have it in about a week. I will do as many recommend and fasten all screws with Loctite. The movie that Ginger On Wheels made about this is just so informative.
nice job ginge looks sweet hey i bet your girl luvs you when she comes in and you got bits of scooters all over the place lol sick appartment by the way
Great video my brother! My Wolf Warrior arrives in June. Just a few weeks away. How am I ever supposed to keep her off the 100 miles of trails down the street from my house and CLEAN like yours is before I do exactly what you did. Waterproof my baby? Guess I better buy my supplies now and keep her big, nobby , phat wheels on the pavement until she is ready like yours is now. I live in New Jersey & yes I have 100 miles of trails to ride on. So, my point is people: NJ isn’t all the North Jersey industrial wasteland y’all think it is.
Ya I would get some supplies now. Spend the first few hours you get it doing the waterproofing while it charges to full. Takes 10 hours to charge once you get it, assuming you have the 1 stock charger. I'm so jealous of your trails. Mine are getting boring.
I did a lot of work out in NJ a decade ago. While Newark is a Shole, most of the state is absolutely beuatiful. Green grassy areas, trees, and a beautiful coast (was it the gold coast? I can't remember). NJ is definitely nicer than many think.
Great tutorial, but can we agree that this should be factory standard at this price? I have a zero 10x, beast of a scooter but I also bought fender extenders to protect the suspension and waterproofing silicon.
I noticed in your video that your kickstand does not touch the rear swingarm when it’s up my kickstand rides right on the swingarm I was wondering if you made any adjustments to the kickstand to keep it away from the swingarm
No I didn't make any adjustments. The kickstand on my scooter though barely allows the scooter to tilt to the side when the stand is down so the scooter would be very easy to tip over. I've been very aware of that. I was considering making an adjustment to move the kickstand so it provides more support when it's down, but that'll be another project. Does your kickstand leaves marks on your scooter?
Ginger On Wheels yes it leaves marks on the swingarm a little bit I wrapped some electrical tape around it to stop it from banging on it but the angle is good the scooter does not want to tip over. Thanks
Yeah, the link no longer exists and I don't remember what size they were. it's suspension cover that was meant for a motorcycle that I ended up just cutting to size and then zip tying around the front forks.
Ginger On Wheels Well I got a puncher on the back wheel if its a tubeless tyre then I might can fix without taking the wheel off with a tubeless repair kit. But I would love to know how to change the tyre and disconnect it from body of the scooter .
@@FUNKYLOCK I would highly recommend taking it to a bike shop for repair if you have a spare tire. Also maybe try Slime for tubeless tires. Changing the tires is possible but extremely challenging, so I'm going to save that video for when I actually need to do it to my scooter.
The motors are sealed and water resistant. Plus the centrifical force of the tire spinning keeps the water off of them for the most part. Splashing is fine. But dont ever submerge them. they get so hot that you can't really put silicone sealant on them without it melting.
@@GingerOnWheels have you heard about tropicalization varnish on motor ? When you see some dulatron motor which have been under rain , its dangerous..!
bxslugz : Wish I saw your comment earlier. Go to FLUIDFREERIDE.COM Those guys are fantastic and you will get REAL service after the sale! My Wolf Warrior is on the way from them. Their reputation is impeccable.
Mr Ginger how are you mate? Just a quick question. Have you ever done a light spray down of your King? I went off road and my King is full of mud. Wondering if it’s ok to do a light spray around the wheels and deck
I actually just cut them down the back and slipped them over the fork then used black zipties to secure them in place. You CAN remove the tire and black fork/suspension ends by twisting them off, but it's a mega PITA
I've never washed it with a hose like I would a car, though I might someday. I just wait until it dries then give it another ride when it's dry outside. All the big debris falls off. Then you can just wipe the dust layer off with wet paper towel.
paska68 ; OR go to any Walmart or automobile store and buy a bottle of Waterless Car Wash. That and a bunch of Microfiber towels will work like magic to clean up ANY MESS. Then just wash your microfiber towels in the wash (by themselves) NOT with your clothes and you are ready for the next mess!
Hey Ginger on wheels, im getting my wolf warrior 11 next week and was wondering if i really need to waterproof it like this. I dont know too much about scooters as it is my first and i am not planning to ride in trails yet. it is purely to get me from home to campus. my question is that if it is raining outside, is it very bad for me to ride it or will it be fine if i avoid puddles. will droplets of rain ruin the scooter either? Thanks so much!
Have you had any issues with the eye 3 display getting wet? You would think that something as important and potentially dangerous as the throttle would be waterproof.
Mr Ginger I noticed this morning when taking the King out for a ride after the rain yesterday. There was a little bit of water coming from under the deck. Also the King was having issues with the rear wheel turning. However after pushing it a little all is fine. My question, is it really bad to get water inside the deck? Is see people ride in rain and through puddles and it seems ok. What’s your thoughts
Absolutely under no circumstance should water enter the deck. You need to open it and make sure its completely dry then do your best to seal all holes with silicone. You risk shorting out your controllers and/ or starting a fire with your battery if water shorts either of those connections.
@@GingerOnWheels hi mate. I opened the deck for the first time and it’s clean inside. However my brake sensor keeps popping up. I’ve followed all checks, adjusted everything and it still shows up. If I flick the brake lever it goes away but later comes back! Would the brake pads need replacing? It’s only 3 Months old I appreciate your help dude
You said in the description that you used silicone sealeant to feel the holes. That silicone sealeant is the 60 second loctite ? Or is it a different one ?
No, no, no. The 60-second Loctite is a super glue. The silicone sealant comes in a big long to about a foot long and requires a caulking gun to use properly. Rtv sealant works as well.
Looking Forward to your future WW11(+) Mod videos! Mine arrives in 2/3 days :D Do you Think it would be possible at all to make an external battery? If you've seen it somewhere could you link? :) Warm Regards, Will
Join the kaabo international facebook group then post in there about the Spanish Wolf telegram group. I've seen some guys in that group with external batteries. But be warned, you've gotta translate every message from Spanish to English!
Wow that makes me not one to get one. You’d think that an 3000 scooter will be more secure. Do all electric scooters do that?? When did u notice the rattle??? Thanks just subscribed!
You do not want to threadlock into plastic pieces, because if you do, you will run the risk of breaking/stripping out the threads of the plastic. You want to loctite metal screws that go into metal panels. Too late to mention it now since you did it all ready a couple months ago.
Ive taken the screws out a couple of times since then with no trouble. Just make sure you don't use a red loctite which is meant to be permanent. Blue loctite is removable

cant believe this guy doesnt have more subs i think he's really cool
I like the ingenuity with what you used for the mudguards doesn't have to pretty to be very effective.
Thats what I figured.

Very very informative video. Thank you alot :) - from Australia.
Awesome just bought king pro gt , my first scooter! Gonna do this
I see a cat, I press 👍. 🐱
Fantastic video, well done! Very informative and great detail
Glad you liked it!
Great tutorial, but can we agree that this should be factory standard at this price? I have a zero 10x, beast of a scooter but I also bought fender extenders to protect the suspension and waterproofing silicon.
Ya definitely would've been nice. Hopefully the next iteration will have better fenders.
What did you get? I got the tire hugger and it’s a joke

Ginger On Wheels : Am I making this up or did I hear that the kickstand was redesigned??
Nicely done :) I'm gonna try your cover solution for the rear suspension, looks great! How does it work after time? :)
So far it's held up great. Lots of offroading. Riding in the mud dirt rain. Couple hundred miles. Rear suspension still completely covered.
Could you please provide the link to the Front Shock dust covers you have? The link in the description no longer "exists". Thanks!
Yeah, the link no longer exists and I don't remember what size they were. it's suspension cover that was meant for a motorcycle that I ended up just cutting to size and then zip tying around the front forks.
Did you have any issues with the scooter after doing this?
Any videos on taking off the back wheeel
Not yet , sorry. I'll get there though I promise.
Are the tyres tubeless ones
@@FUNKYLOCK yes they are tubeless. are you wondering how to take the wheel off of the scooter or how to take the rubber off of the tire?
Ginger On Wheels
Well I got a puncher on the back wheel if its a tubeless tyre then I might can fix without taking the wheel off with a tubeless repair kit. But I would love to know how to change the tyre and disconnect it from body of the scooter .

@@GingerOnWheels have you heard about tropicalization varnish on motor ? When you see some dulatron motor which have been under rain , its dangerous..!
@@GingerOnWheels do you have any recommendations on waterproofing a kaabo mantis?
I have a wolf warrior 11 on the way. Thank you for making this video. Very useful info.
Hey no problem! Hope you have fun with your Wolf. You made an excellent decision on your scooter and you will not be let down.
James Mucklin I’m looking to buy one. I live in New York City. What’s a good dite to buy one ?

Mr Ginger how are you mate? Just a quick question. Have you ever done a light spray down of your King? I went off road and my King is full of mud. Wondering if it’s ok to do a light spray around the wheels and deck
I would spray the wheels, but not the deck. Better yet, just use a moist cloth and give her a wipe down.
What about king GT? Do i need waterproofing him?
How did you install the coil over dust covers? Did you have to take the entire front wheel off? How difficult was it?
I actually just cut them down the back and slipped them over the fork then used black zipties to secure them in place. You CAN remove the tire and black fork/suspension ends by twisting them off, but it's a mega PITA
Btw how do you wash your escooter when it gets all muddy?
I've never washed it with a hose like I would a car, though I might someday. I just wait until it dries then give it another ride when it's dry outside. All the big debris falls off. Then you can just wipe the dust layer off with wet paper towel.

The ey3 is very water resistant. I've had 0 issues with it and ride my wolf in the rain quite a bit
ur the best, Romania salut you !

@@JustAnotherReviewwithAlek adjust the little nut coming out of the smaller wire on the brake lever.

Hi so why do u glue all the screws?? R they really that loose??
They will all rattle loose. Every. Single. One. Use loctite blue on the threads and screw them back in. Then they don't come loose anymore :)
Wow that makes me not one to get one. You’d think that an 3000 scooter will be more secure. Do all electric scooters do that?? When did u notice the rattle??? Thanks just subscribed!
My question is can you change the throttle to u underhand thumb control is this possible?
I'm not sure. I think I remember seeing someone that did it a while ago. But never tried myself.
the front and rear fender extension piece are same material?
Yes.
does it really protect water or snow once done ???
Yes

Great video thanks for the helpful info I’m planning to do the same to my Kaabo scooter
Is this about the same as the mantis?
The scooter? Or the technique for water proofing?
The water proofing, I got my mantis last Thursday and it's rained every day since lol hadn't rained for weeks. Go figure.
Why is not good to leave your 100% charged when not using it overy night
Science has showed that optimal storage for batteries is around 50 to 80%
Blue locktight,not red
Why?
It’s lock tide blue bro... got get it wrong.
It's BLUE thread lock not red 😂
