Levo Gen 3 Creaking coming from somewhere around the motor.

[DirkWisely]

My Levo has started creaking pretty badly. It seems to happen worse the steeper the climb. Has anyone experienced this sound and resolved it?

Have you checked all the bolts, especially motor mounting bolts?

 

[DirkWisely]

How should I check them? They don't feel loose or anything. Should I try re-torqueing them?

Yes retorque then , also check the shock/pivot bolts , they will creak if loose , also crank:/chainring , basically check everything

I'd also have a go at re-seating/greasing your dropper/seatpost.

if your frame is carbon then make sure its carbon assembly grease. Creaks are buggers to track down and so often travel along the frame and originate way off elsewhere!

Don’t forget seat rails if it creaks when you’re seated but not when standing its the seat post or seat rails got grit in there !

Agree with (and have experienced) all of the above. I traced yet another creak to the chain stay pivot bearings, one of which barely rotated.

You could also check on to see wether to pinch up chain ring bolts....
