Excellent news!! I think mine may have to go back soon. It’s very noisey. Hard to know how noisey is too noisey though....

I wonder if you've had any updates @iXi ?

@iXi any update?

Just looking through the forum I can see @Japuserid has stripped and regreased the motor. Care to share any tips/instructions?

@khorn are you able to describe the process/point me in the direction of some info on how to do this?

I have the clunky engagement too but I must admit it doesn’t bother me much. I bought my Mum and Liv a little while ago and agree - the power on the yamaha is much smoother. Although I’m mostly happy with the Shimano, I don’t know I’d buy another....

That’s so frustrating. The noise from mine is driving me nuts but the prospect of no bike for 2-8 weeks seems worse so I’ve delayed taking it back...

Ah, interesting. I bought mine from 99 Bikes also. I’ve got my fingers crossed for 2 weeks for you ?? Do you have any non-stock parts on your bike?

Thanks for the thorough response @flash! Really appreciate it.

Just wondering whether anyone has had experience with having their E8000 motor replaced via warranty in Australia. I mainly ask due to a lack of Shimano dealers (according to their website) - I wonder about the wait times? My motor is fine for now but it seems to be getting noisier and I think...

From a quick google it looks like the SLX have a different banjo. I’ve linked the right one (as far as I can see) below. Still should be able to just swap out caliper and lever, using the correct bolt below to secure the hose to the new caliper. Shimano Banjo Bolt & O-Ring |...

The only cables that are routed through the handlebars is the cable for the display and for the mode selector. Super easy just to pull them out if you want to change bars. The only thing to remember is they are 35mm bars, not 31.8mm. Regarding the brakes - I assume the zee brake uses the same...

That definitely sounds like a rear suspension related squeak to me...

That’s awesome!! They look so good

Actually just another thought - when I was chasing a squeak a little while ago the LBS told me that they have a crazy number if creaks that turn out to be the shifter cable housing where it meets the deraileur? Weird I know

Pivot bolts/bearings?

Where did you get the pink labelled maxxis?!

So possibly rear wheel related? Thru axle, spoke nipples, spokes (where they cross over)?
