Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

[Doomanic]

Can't hear the whining motor here

Is that because all the bitching about car parking fines drowns it out?

since new TCU on KSL 2022 uses encrypted Bluetooth channel - is it not possible to connect KSL as power meter to smart watches? (Suunto)

I don't know Suunto in particular but I indeed use the power meter data on my Garmin so it should work as well

When I first swapped, the noise between the 1.1 and 1.2 motors was huge. I ride with airpods in all of the time, but usually in the transparency mode so I can hear what's going on too.
I'm not sure if my 1.2 motor is getting louder, or whether my tolerance is becoming less. I think I might take it to the shop sometime soon for a FW upgrade (still on release FW) and ask them if it's louder.

I'm often in the same boat... climbing a hill slowly behind an analogue biker, and turn the motor off to go past them. I almost feel like people expect you to go whizzing past on an eMTB... and to crawl past them with that noise is embarrassing! They also don't realise I'm only using 15-20% ontop of my legs.
Once I'm passed and out of earshot, I switch the motor back on!

I totally use to do this when i had my levo sl 1

I’m still doing it with my 1.2! Unless the people I pass are deaf (or have loud music on), they’re going to hear my bike!

I almost feel like I’d be better passing them at 100% and at least pass them quickly

 

[sethimus]

anyone know if you can increase the torque of the walk mode?

Shift to lower gears.

Hallo, ich habe Probleme mit meinem Kenevo SL. Wenn ich einfedere dann habe ich ein klack(Geräusch), wie so ein Rastpunkt. Trete ich dann leicht in die Pedale macht es wieder klack. So als wenn ich Spannung drauf bringe und wieder entlaste. Erst hatte ich den Dämpfer in verdacht weil ich auf Coil umgebaut habe. Habe jetzt aber wieder den FLoat X eingebaut und das gleiche Problem.
Mittlerweile bin ich der Meinung das es vom Tretlager kommt. Axiales Spiel habe ich nicht aber leicht Radiales.


Hello, I have problems with my Kenevo SL. When I compress I get a clack (noise), like a resting point. If I pedal lightly it clicks again. As if I were putting tension on it and releasing it again. At first I suspected the damper because I converted it to a coil. I have now installed the FLoat X again and have the same problem.
I'm now of the opinion that it's coming from the bottom bracket. I don't have any axial play, but I do have a little bit of radial play.

Check the swingarm axle, especially tighten the screw behind the chainring

 

[n4rti]

Welche Schraube meinst du genau?
Die Achse ist fest. Kein Spiel in der Nabe. Oder meinst du die Tretlagerachse?

Which screw do you mean exactly?
The axis is fixed. No play in the hub. Or do you mean the bottom bracket axle?

 

[n4rti]

Check the swingarm axle, especially tighten the screw behind the chainring

This Screw?

 

[Dax]

This Screw?

View attachment 144827

Yes. It is behind the chainring on the drive side.

 

[n4rti]

Dafür muss das Kettenblatt runter?
The chainring has to come off for this?

 

[cañonaco]

Yes, chain guide & chainring

I had to replace my TCU remote and now this error comes up. It was a simple plug in a keyed cord back to the TCU. I didnt think much could go wrong. I did it with the power off. Does anyone know of any particular instructions or figured out how to deal with performing an update without taking the bike into the LBS? Thanks!

Swapping the bar remote did that?!

 

[storminorman77]

that is very weird, I just replaced mine lastnight and no issues. This is second one I had to swap out... have you tried to reset TCU, hold + & - for 20 seconds...

Thanks. I am not sure what that did but it didn't remove the error.
FYI:
I took the bike into my LBS and they say it will cost $60 for them to connect it to their diagnostic program to clear the error code which may or may not result in a loss of power. For $60 and 2 minutes work, I didnt bother. I can live with the "loss" of power as I mostly ride in ECO.

Hi all, what seat posts are you running. I’ve managed to use a 210 one up shimmed down to 190mm. Insertion depth isn’t that great.

OneUp. The shock tunnel was your first clue. Welcome to the Nut Smack Club!

210mm with Anomaly Constructs mount. I pity you short legged fools

get one from The Robert Axle Project

I took my KSL out for the first ride today and loved it. The only thing is I don’t seem to have got the same range as a lot of people on here. I did 12 miles, mostly in trail, about 2700ft of climbing and only had 10% battery left. I weigh about 85kg. Does that sound right?

 

[Cameyo]

Most of it done on Eco until empty

Thanks for that. mines way off. I contacted Specialized and they said it was super low. But probably because it was the first time I had ridden it. I have no idea. Fingers crossed I guess
