    Decoy shutting down on trail

    Did you check that all the wires are clipped firmly into the back of the E7000 display? Hopefully its just a battery connection/terminal issue Also make sure you do NOT have your feet on the pedals when powering the bike up as you may get the W013 error (due to the torque applied to the...

    YT Decoy strange noise (no, not the known shimano noise ;-) )

    Agree with above .. likely the hub. E13 easily has the BEST customer service in the bike business (that I have ever experienced). They will definitely look after you.

    Hi guys have anyone hear about New decoy 2020?

    I predict the Fox 38 will make an appearance in 2020 .. but not officially OEM until 2021. My guess :unsure:is that Fox will make a 38 in order to accommodate the longer travel air shaft options available from the 36 air spring (since the "E" bike stanchions are 2 mm thicker - Fox 36 E uses...

    Hi guys have anyone hear about New decoy 2020?

    Let the speculation begin :unsure: I would guess that 2020 holds (100% pure speculation) 1. 220 mm front rotor 2. 700 wHR battery 3. Fox 38 fork at 170 mm (this one is the biggest speculation) 4. New color 5. USB plug I can't imagine a motor change, however you never know. :cool:

    Garmin 830 Question

    Hey all I am in the process of pulling the trigger on a Garmin 830 very soon and have a question for those who own one or have also looked into this. You can buy just the unit itself OR purchase the "mtb bundle" that includes a remote, silicone case and speed sensor. The issue is that the...

    YT decoy tyre pressure

    I have tried many pressures but like Jedipip above settled on (using the 2.5/2.8 combo): 18 psi rear using Rimpact Inserts 21 psi front (no insert) Been riding for a long time, and have only ever experienced 3 flats in 15 years .. Coincidence or not … ALL three of them on first rides...

    Winterizing the Decoy - Battery Storage

    Thanks all … I guess I'll have to go ride it again to get the battery to 70% :unsure::love: Yeah bike always stays inside. I would rather have my truck stolen than my bike. Heck if there was room in my bed, my wife would be sleeping on the floor and the decoy beside me under the blankets...

    Drive train sounding gritty/rough

    Agree with the poster above .. it "looks" like the clutch lever is OFF. Flip the grey plastic lever UP and see if it improves

    Winterizing the Decoy - Battery Storage

    Well being from Canada, our riding season is coming to an end, so I'll be winterizing the Decoy very soon. The white evil flakes are on the way soon. Will be storing for approximately 4-5 months :( The question is how to properly store the battery. I have done some research and the general...

    YT Decoy Bottle cage mount.

    Great idea with the top peak ratchet tool (y). Picture sparked another question : Why are you using zip ties on the Fox air can ?

    Yt decoy light

    Can anybody confirm if that once the Lupine integrated light is installed, does it become a permanent fixture on the bike? In other words, can you easily "clip and unclip" the light as required and only mount for night riding? Not a big fan of having a light permanently fixed to the front …...

    Anybody fitted a Bashguard ??

    Has anybody fitted a bash guard to their Decoy since the upper 2 ISCG mounts are being used by the E13 chainguide ? The other challenge is finding one that works, given the Decoy is unique in requiring the e13 chain guide alone. I was thinking of some king of "triangular wedge" epoxied to the...

    Decoy chain guide "advisory"

    Mine actually came loose and broke below the upper bolt … the chainguide plate is made of plastic (not aluminum) and cracked. I have a new one on order from E13, however they are on backorder. As a result, my chainguide is being held onto the bike currently by ONE bolt. So YES … I can verify...

    What makes the Fox X2 Shock, Ebike specific?

    According to Fox (website): E-Bike specific fork (GRIP2 and GRIP) and shock (OE only) damper tuning accounts for dynamic weight transfer, seated riding technique, steeper climbing, and faster uphill speeds. E-Bike-specific forks and shocks (OE only) are branded with an E-Logo decal, denoting...

    Raceface handle bars

    I can verify 100% they are on the CF Race Pro, so it would make sense they are 30mm rise across all 3 models. At first I thought that was a bit tall, but after riding the bike, I would not switch to 20mm (personal opinion based on my style of riding … down) . You have to remember the headtube...

    2020 Decoy

    Wheels come all taped .. but do not come tubeless … so you need to buy valves. I changed out the OEM Maxxis tires as well (same tires .. just aftermarket new ones) Not sure if the rumour is true (they are poorer quality than the aftermarket ones with YELLOW logos) , but in 15 years of riding I...

    2020 Decoy

    Your gonna love it! The "mullet is real" After riding 27.5 (Many) and 29 bikes (Transition Sentinel) over the years, the main decision for choosing the YT was: 1. The mullet: it dramatically improves the bikes agility. You won't "feel like" your on a 29'er with the short chanstays out...

    Thoughts ? 170mm Fox 36 and High BB Setting?

    Thanks for this (y) Just looked this up and you are correct, it is a Fox 34 air spring as the stanchions are 2mm thicker than a regular 36 fork (earning it the prestigious e-bike optimized label) I guess I am staying with 160mm .. :cool:

    Thoughts ? 170mm Fox 36 and High BB Setting?

    Good advice gents (y) ^^ Did you find the 170mm affected the handling in any way ? Can anybody verify "the rumor" (or provide more rumors) that YT originally designed the bike for a 170mm fork ? True …. the pedal striking UPHILL has diminished quite considerably and it was an adjustment...

    Thoughts ? 170mm Fox 36 and High BB Setting?

    I have had my Decoy for a couple weeks now and am absolutely loving it!:love: The only area I am concerned about (albeit have adapted in the last few rides) is the very low BB. In fact I just replaced a 4 month old set of pedals that were almost new when installed yesterday because I have...
