Hey,

Can anyone share 4 digit Fox code from his Float X2 Factory? I’m thinking about upgrading my shock and I need to verify the tune.

Thx

Fox ID X2 Performance Levo 2022: FD7D
The Tune should be the same as the Factory X2, correct me if I`am wrong...

If you want strong brakes just get the levers and use the magura calipers. Shiguras are strong and have light lever feel.

No 100% sure, but there is no rattle when I pick up the back and drop it. I will get replaced my motor because the motor has its own issues, I will report if the motor was the problem.

What kind of motor problems? My rattle might be coming from my motor since it doesn't make the noise when peddling as best I can tell. The motor is way noisier when peddling uphill under load than my '19, is that one of your issues?

 

[ruppia]

Do you guys notice that the rattle's gone with no assistance ?
Yesterday i try to find a clue.
I think my rattle is coming from motor.
When i keep it off, no noise at all

 

[Four Flusher]

I tried riding with the motor turned off, rattle is still there, bummer

 

[montivagant]

As far as the shit hinge on the charging door, Specialized is aware and working on a solution,

In the meantime, they should be providing replacement doors free of charge, it's that bad. Mine is half-torn already. Going to try some gorilla tape over the hinge.

My motor is very loud, it seems as there is something broken inside (clicking sound)... When I pedale without assistance (above 27 km/h or motor off), there is no sound from the motor... And the motor support level is sometimes very low. This could be a general problem with temperature management, that I will see with the new motor.

And I have as mentioned above a rattle from inside the frame. This is also there when the motor is off.

Anyone know a good place to buy new stickers for the fox 38 performance elite and x2 performance, in white? Will be changing them on my expert when it arrives

 

[toublanc]

If you want strong brakes just get the levers and use the magura calipers. Shiguras are strong and have light lever feel.

If I had Maguras on my bike I would probably leave them. I have gen3 Expert and it comes with Codes RS stock. It’s not that Codes lack power of that I don’t hate SRAM brakes, I just prefer Shimano feel and I’m very happy with Saints 820 I have on my other bike.

Whoa, a skid plate! Could be a solution for the battery door hinge, LOL.

Picked up my Expert this week. Managed to get a couple of rides in after work and loving it so far.

Unlike other spesh bikes I've had, there isn't a frame sticker with the frame size on it (S4 / S5 etc). Does anyone know how I can double check this for my frame?

All sorted - just e-mailed Spesh with my serial number and they confirmed it's definitely S5 as expected ?

I bought a 2022 Turbo Levo Pro a couple weeks ago. Sweet ride. Plugged in charger, which showed charging. Shortly afterward I tried to turn on at TCU, but display would quickly show "No Battery" and then turn off. Bike would not power up.

Took main battery out and put back in several times with no success. Took to LBS. They swapped out for another TCU and same indication. They communicated with Specialized headquarters for awhile. Finally cleaned battery charging port and problem went away.

So suspicion is that a metallic particle got on the port area and was shorting out some part of it. That port appears to be magnetized, so I could see where it would 'attract' particles.

So moral of the story, keep charging port clean and even clean the charger plug before inserting. Also disappointed that TCU would not power up using its own coin cell battery(?) and could show some diagnosis, including possibly with "Mission Control" app.

Good point to be aware of! My local bike shop told me about the magnetic port because it may attract particles like metal spans etc.

Fox ID X2 Performance Levo 2022: FD7D
The Tune should be the same as the Factory X2, correct me if I`am wrong...

I have the same ID on my Float X2 performance, but Factory series shocks have different tune, probably due to different circuits (HSC,LSC/HSR,LSR). Ruppia was already kind enough to share tune ID for factory shock - D9MP.

after adding the battery extender plastic spacer on my S5 Expert, I still have a noise that sounds like something is loose when riding downhill on rough track. I pulled the battery out and it's tight getting the battery completely out but it's not very tight when the battery is fully in. I'm wondering if the battery is not tight enough on the bigger sizes? Any ideas?

 

[Ggluck3]

No it’s 100% just the flap clean at were it folds over , it’s very thin plastic. View attachment 57746

So I just broke mine today!!! Where did you get the replacement part from?? Thx

I suspect that this is what has happened. It’s not a problem not stopping use of the bike, and sure Spz will sort early next week, the service I have received on my last 2 S Works EMTBs over the years has been brilliant.

It happened to me today where did you get the party to fox this??? I need one also ASAP

 

[Ggluck3]

Whist I love the bike, this is going to get some serious use. But came to charge it for this afternoons ride and noticed that for some reason the little door that protects the charge point has some how fallen off on the last ride. View attachment 57648

Hi did you get this part and if so
Where? I just broke mine the same!!! Please let me know.
thx
Brian

I took out the TCU and unplugged the harness to shrink wrap the controller cable and brake hose together. When I did this, I noticed quite a bit of space in that cavity where the harness plugs could possibly rattle against the frame depending on how it is packed in there. You may want to try looking in that area if you haven't already. Maybe put some extra padding (paper. sponge, etc.) in there to troubleshoot whether it is caused by the cable harness. Good luck.

My S-Works didn't even come with it or the LBS broke it when putting my bike together. Been running around with the port area taped up using gaffers tape. I've been waiting for a warranty replacement from Specialized through the LBS for almost a month now...

 

[NewBeeEMTB]

are there any real life pictures of the maroon expert? The maroon enduro expert looks great, but its gloss painted…..

I have a Maroon one, I guess I could take some pictures I have had it for about 3 weeks now an S2 version as I am 5'6". This is my first MTB eva to boot an E-MTB. I will take pictures tonight.

 

[Stone0207]

What is the reply from your lbs on that or has there maybe been an official reply from spech yet?

hey @Specialized Rider Care what is your take on the flapgate??
