Exactly! its because the haven't sourced any battery suppliers that are consistent.. at least that's my theory, and batteries in general are more scarce than ever.. its super strange! they also promised that original customers would be able to upgrade to 720 when it was released.
They need to...
or YT can produce and deliver enough product.. they have lagged with spares batteries for years now... its just as hard to get the 540! If you call and ask them they are zero help.. great bikes, company either needs a new supplier or new management or both..
So YT releases a bigger battery finally after 2 years of promises but they only made like 10! Wtf.. not sure you can say you released it when it's permanently out of stock.. this company sucks, love the bike, company is not run well.
Exactly what I was going to say but didn't want to bother.. well said.
His original post said he "lubed" which is why I responded in the first place.. but lots of mechanics have their own methods that work for them so.. whatever works for you!:)
As I said it's not wrong if the manufacturer calls for lube, like with head bolts.. but if it's not specifically called out you will go beyond the torque spec.
Unless it's specified the torque spec is for a clean dry bolt. It's especially true on high end bikes because torque specs are so...
Yeah it still a great bike been solid! Gonna keep until spring, unless my daughter starts shredding!can always sell in spring easier.. it has 3k miles so a bit of a turn off to buyers.
I put mine up for sale, in California.. zero interest! lol gonna set it up for my daughter who is getting tall enough!
The great bike inflation is over.. Craigslist near me has 7 decoys for sale!
I can see how logically you would assume that but it's not the case. It's not an agree/disagree it's just the way it is.
Unless a bolt specifically calls for lubricant or thread locker all torques given by manufacturers are assuming bolts are clean and dry.
If you use lube the torques will be...
If you torque after apply grease your torque rate will be off.. you will apply more force. bolts should be clean and dry if using a torque wrench.
i was worried about teething issues with these motors… they look beautiful but also look complex and machining would have to be top notch to work...
From what I gather it's just a difference of the motor and cannot be fixed.
I'm coming off a shimano e8000, but only have 1 ride, didn't notice an issue but was stoked to be on new bike.. love the way motor feels but did find that techy uphills yesterday were harder.. thought that was due to...
Ironic to come read this… I got tired of waiting and picked up a levo alloy comp yesterday! they are on sale again until Monday for 5600.. best deal going right now!… anyone wanna buy a decoy? :)
Doubt it.. if you are new to bikes I can understand but if you been riding for awhile you know that creaky noise are just part of the game and can be anoying to track down.
I'd try chainring bolts..
A good shop should be able to help.
This write up on og decoy kinda kept me from selling mine earlier this year.. I probably should have sold it but it's still a great bike.

ahh gotcha, that makes more sense. The way you described it in the video I watched made it sound like, in general you didn't like them as much.
I guess the same thing could be said about seat post angle as well should really change depending on the size of the bike.
He also prefers longer chain stays... a lot of people do not.
200mm is kinda ridiculous for a trail bike that is not hitting big stuff. Although I agree to a point.. don't see why to go below 150/160 as a minimum, unless a frame design or something.
