Great idea to up load a video of maintenance
2 things.... You can use chalk, like chalkboard chalk to silence the belt ( it fills the voids). Also to check belt tension you twist the belt and it should be able to twist to no more than 90° using medium to heavy force
Good on ya mate, No nonsense informative and to the point! subbed..

Thanks for the video... I've been messing around with the belt tension quite a bit and wondered if you had a very difficult time trying to align the motor? I did the same as you and used calipers to measure where the bolts line up on either side within the slots and find it extremely difficult. The amount of upward force on one side and downward force on the other to align the bolts makes me worry that I'm actually damaging the threads.
Excellent video, thank you

Ah maybe thats why mine started to squeak, I use washing up liquid. I actually now have some aerospace protectant to put on it, seems like some good legit stuff but time will tell. That's handy to know its stopped it for now. No problem thank you for feedback and glad it's helped. Cheers

When I first got mine there was hardly any info on yt so took me a little to work it out and decided to share and help people be more confident working o their bikes. I got some more handy tips to record and 1 is quite important. Sur rons bring all backgrounds together, mtb, mx, enduro riders and new people, cater for so many.

Well done mate. I went ahead and ordered the primary drive chain conversion to go with the new Litespeed battery and ERT controller. Some day I will get the battery, haha!

I think you need that kit for that upgrade from the amount of belts snapping on people. Which option have you gone for the 420 chain or smaller quiter 1 I see more of a mtb chain. Would be nice to have battery myself, just will keep saving.

I did this and now my bolts holding my bigger pulley on the jackshaft is rubbing the frame where the bolts are to hold the pulley
When mine starts squeaking I will take the cover off and spin the belt with the throttle and blast the belt with compressed air. You’ll be amazed how much dust like stuff comes off the belt

Awesome!! The video I have been waiting for! Now to do mine! Its been making a loud whining sound, very embarrassing and loud lol. Are you just pushing the motor up and down with the screwdriver?
@motomachinezuk8786
4 жыл бұрын
Yes just applying a little pressure and holding it still with the screwdriver. Motor moves so freely that this helps keep it still and in place. Mine is so much more quieter now not sure why it got louder tho that needs investigating. Unless it is just because belt drying out. Thank you and glad to hear it might help some people.
Appreciate the videos I was wondering how many miles you think roughly that you had on your Sur-Ron when you adjusted the tension the first time

Put a metal bar through big drive belt rotor so it locks it in place and put a wrench on the small belt nut and stand on the wrench and give a little jump on it and put all weight down on it and it’ll come loose.

What happens if you run the belt too tight, mines been squeaking when i roll the bike (with the motor off)
@motomachinezuk8786
3 жыл бұрын
It could be the belt dry and stiff. I find mine can squeak when not used for a week or so and was cleaned. If its not tight then that probably the noise. It will go after a bit. Also I use 303 that was recommended to me on my belt now and I'm alot happier with it. Wonder if washing up liquid dries belt out a little. If belt is too tight then won't last long, could even effect bearings. Is if aligned correctly?
Paid 4600 for the road version. Done 190 miles, cut the restrictor wire, because it was dangerously slow on a real road and the belt frayed and snapped at 196 miles. It's in the shop. Hopefully I've not voided my warranty. 4 days old 🤢 also never went above 35 and that was for like 5 seconds

whats wrong with belt dressing? couldnt you say its the same as chain lubrication? I dont understand
@motomachinezuk8786
2 жыл бұрын
303 aerospace protectant is what I now use as quality stuff but that cheap belt protector aerosol is a very short fix personally I've not had joy with. I said that only my experience. Yes belt protector is like chain lube, a con. Only use 2stroke oil on chain with a brush to prevent rust. Keeps it looking tidy.
Yea. I tried dressing and it's horribly sticky. I wouldn't use it on a surron belt again
It's been a while! Hope all has been well! Just a curious question, my surron has been making a whinning noise when I ride it, would you happen to know the cause? It's like a high pitch whine, it comes and goes, was thinking mayhe the belt drive?

Please disconnect your batteries before you start messing with the motor guys 😊 60VDC is high voltage current and could kill someone with a heart condition
