    Hi S13, It is nice to know that you new bearings are working well. After reading this long thread, I understand that the small bearings 6000 and 6900 are inside the motor with no risk of water ingress so the seal is ZZ (metal) with low friction .BUT the large bearings 6808 (40x52x7mm) and 6805...

    According to previous posts: The white grease is MOLYKOTE PG-75 High quality, German manufactured grease. Specifically designed for plastic and metal gears, as found in many ebike motors. To seal the motor case: clean it off with solvent and reseal the case with a thin smear of Blue Hylomar.

    Shimano E8000 di2 rear derailleur problems!

    I believe that the DI2 battery is not required. Only a long cable.

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Your issue could have been caused by a bad contact that increased the electrical resistance of the connection, and this resistance and the high current used by the motor caused heat that melt the connector pins. A fix could be to use CONDUCTIVE GREASE like this ( Notice this is NOT Dielectric...

    ep8 motor, who's going to be first to retrofit?

    My polish is not too good, so I did not understand a word but it was nice to see the retrofitting. Shimano has stated that they are not selling it aftermarket, that means that it is only available for warranty replacement, I asked in a couple shops and they said the same. But as this might be...

    Parts for Shimano E8000 motor - lead from battery to motor.

    Thd warranty is two years, is provided directly by Shimano and the starting date is the date in your invoice or proof of purchase. This applies for purchasing in stores, but not sure about purchases in ebay. Where did you buy the motor and how much did it the cost?

    E8000 speed sensor connection loose at motor.

    The location of this connector in the motor is not the best, all grit and dirt goes in it, so it could be that when unplugging it, some grit made its way into the socket. Try to clean it with compressed air and use the Shimano tool to plug it. BTW, new motor EP800 has this conector in vertical...
