The foam , yes , before the motor change , but they have just shoved it in , see foto . The swing arm has a cover copied from the forum .Hard to believe
Have you had internal foam and swing arm rubber seal fitted?

I heard how Specialized are aware and are working on a fix, but that was a year ago.It would be interesting to hear what Specialized rider care thinks of this catastrophic botch job !
Be interesting to see the plug in the just released kenevo if anyone has oneI heard how Specialized are aware and are working on a fix, but that was a year ago.
Surely cant take a year to design a new lead?
It's the same!Be interesting to see the plug in the just released kenevo if anyone has one
Hard to believeIt's the same!
ACF50 was checked and approved by Brose, we like it a lot. Vaseline around the outside of the O-rings is also good. This is essentially what we do in bike production.
Not had any problems yet after 1000km on my Levo, much of it on very wet trails over the last two months. I'm very diligent with cleaning / maintenance. However, i'm going to try and preempt issues arising by getting some ACF50 Spray or similar.
A quick Google search suggests a few products that might fit the bill, such as a product called Corrosion-X, or the new Muc-Off E-Bike Corrosion Defence spray.
Anyone used ACF50 or similar?
Not so. The various faults codes relate to what part of the startup procedure failed. All of the signals from the various components are carried to the TCU on individual cables. A moter error does not necessarily mean the motor is faulty. It could mean the signal required from the motor is not being received via the cable ( e.g. because it is shorted out).That's what mine did, after a wash (gentle - compare to how I pressure jet washed my Haibike!) bike would not turn on. After drying out in the sun it worked days until next wash or rainy run.
cable/water related problems give "battery errors" not the engine one, so maybe the problem is still there.
I am also curious about the use of "Corrosion-X" as a solution. I believe this product is used to waterproof aviation electronics.Not had any problems yet after 1000km on my Levo, much of it on very wet trails over the last two months.

I can see how it would help protect electrical connections that are "made"...ie connected but I would not be sure about using it on the actual connection pins since it is essentially a wax. For a connection that is permanently made except for maintenance...for example the electrical connections inside the motor casing it looks a good idea to use it after connecting everything up. Similarly the connections on the TCU. It would not be any good on the charging port however given it is regularly disconnected. For a particularly wet ride some gaffer tape over the charging port is one way to provide extra protection.
Can we please have advice from Specialized Rider Care on how to use it?Specialized Rider Care say that Brose have tested and recommend ACF50 spray, so that might be the better option for the connectors.
After wet ride, it may be good idea, after some time, to lift the bike, front wheel up to let drain the water which is resting in engine bay. I did it with mine aftet one hour back home and some 1 small cup of water leaked out.Can we please have advice from Specialized Rider Care on how to use it?
Great....err not great that it broke.....but great that we can finally see that if that outer plug cracks there is no further seal beyond where the outer sheath of the cable enters the plug. So now I agree there should be a general recall so that all plugs can be inspected for damage. That leaves the question of why it cracks. Is the specified method of installing it wrong or is it not being installed correctly? Neither the battery or motor moves so as to cause the cable to flex.....does it? Does the way in which the cable is fixed allow a natural angle into the plug? Is the plug becoming brittle due to heat? Seems to me there could be some simple preventative measures like adding heat shrink to the area where the cable goes into the plug. I would also be tempted to use liquid gasket when replacing the motor cover.re post nr. 209 -happy to report , that it took only three days to receive the new cable and the missing plugs . My bike is back on the trails . This picture suggests that the plus cable has seen a lot of water and muck as it shows signs of oxidation and is covered with muck . The minus cable is also dirty , so it has also been wet . Plus + minus + water = problems .

Looks like the binding plugs are missing2019 s-works , had a new motor installed after 1500 km a month ago . Today went for another ride and it rained , which is unusual for us im Mallorca . After 30 minutes of riding the motor turned off and would not turn on again . Once back at home I removed the motor cover and found the following . No plugs on the three electrical connectors ! Motor cable and plug full of water ! And have a look at the cable ! Tomorrow I'm going to have a serious talk with the shop . Unbelievable !!

The thing is, I've actually spoken to Specialized employees, and they are well aware of this issue.So the question is how does this forum transfer information and a request for action from Specialised.... not in the form of a complaint but as a genuine offer of help to improve their outstanding product.
