After watching your content. I have bought and install the same wheel and set of tires a few months ago. I’m very happy with the combos. I ride similar terrain. I’m on vancouver island we have gnarly rocky climbs too. I might try the rear 53 tooth sprocket too as I dont really care about top speed for what I ride. Thanks for the great content and sharing your knowledge.
Glad to have helped! Super stoked that the wheel and tire combo is working out for you. You will like the 53 tooth sprocket as you will get better range and be able to have better acceleration to get over logs and rocks.
Hey Schredder I have an ultra bee all stock and just love it for trail riding, to wheelie better just turn up the throttle setting, lots more snap, I run mine on 2, lots of snap, crank yours to 3 and forget about a new sprocket, bike setting really change how the bike performs, give it a try, enjoy your channel, keep on schredding
Thanks for being everyones Guinea pig. Looking good so far. I still have my heart set on beta xtrainer but this bike would be great also except for the price in Australia (somehow we always pay more regardless of the dollar conversion
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge on the Ultra Bee. Very helpful for someone like me who is just discovering the Ultra Bee! It would be great if you could also share the brand names of your upgraded products.
I don't know if you know, but you're supposed to adjust your chain with your weight on it. They're supposed to be slack in the chain. When you're not sitting on it, you're gonna wind up. Wearing your sprockets and chain out quicker with the way you have it.
I completely understand that. I usually sit on it and check again after I adjust to make sure it is not tight.. With the linkage the way it is on this bike, it doesn't tighten as much as a regular dirtbike when the suspension is sagged down all the way. On my friends Husky 450 it needs 1-7/8 of play with no sag and on this bike it is recommended at 5/8"-3/4" with no sag or weight on the bike. It is important on these bikes to not have it too loose or all the drive is with the primary belt and that would wear out sooner or even break and they are a pain to replace.
I think you may of mentioned this on another video but this seemed the best place to ask. What handle bars did you swap out with and how much height did they add? I picked up some 30mm risers, which help a lot. I stand at 6ft and can’t help but think a little bit more bar height would help a lot.
I replaced them with Protapers "woods high". I probably gained about a 1/2" in height. I am 6'1" and I could use another 1/2" on top of the bars and 30mm risers.
@@schreddersworld1050 Pretty amazing machine for that total cost. I'm thinking of selling my FE350 and jumping on a Ultra for my woods riding. Thanks again for your great content.
You’re backwards on the sprocket explanation. Smaller front will allow you to go smaller on the rear to get the same overall ratio. One tooth down on the front is equal to upsizing the rear by 3-4 teeth.
in a typical situation, you are absolutely right! However on the light bee it is the rear primary gear that is changed (bigger) and I would imagine it would be the same for the UltraBee since the design is the same. Being that it is the rear gear on the primary, it would be like the rear gear on the secondary. The front primary gear is already tiny, so I do not believe it can be made smaller.
Today was my first day in mine. Crashed as soon as I switched to sport. Brush guard cracked around the mount. I’ll super glue until I get a new pair. Mine Ultra bee came with street/enduro tires. How much do you want for your stock tires?
Bummer, I've had to replace my handguards as well. They are definitely fast in sport. I rode mine in dad mode for a few months before going to full time sport mode. I started out with the throttle sensor at 1 , now I ride it in 2.
Ok well I pulled the trigger and got one. I am in Hayden so maybe we’ll run into each other on the trail. What size rear sprocket do you run? Did you notice a difference in your range?
Congrats! Sure, it would be fun to ride with another Ultra rider. A 53 tooth is way better on range if you are doing tight single track trails. I changed to a 54 for better pop for going over logs and roots, but the range goes down a little bit.
@@schreddersworld1050 Well I want to ride Canfield quite a bit with it. Would you suggest 52, 53 or 54? I am going to order a larger one this week and give it a whirl
@@schreddersworld1050 I went with a 54T, heavier rear spring, roller chain, and I just bought the TC1000 controller (not yet installed). I have 19/21 tire/wheel combo coming and I put bar risers on it. I think I am almost ready to go rip some trails. You riding anytime soon?
I could only find one pic of these. Definitely lightweight. I also like the shape. It could use more ventilation and I am not sure how far it goes back on the bottom.
Great stuff. Did the wheel upgrade lift the seat height at all? You mind sharing your height and weight? I am 6' and ~ 205 lbs and I mulling over getting a seat extender to lift the bike a bit and was thinking of getting a heaving coil spring in the rear (though you made a good point about wanting it soft for trail riding)
@@schreddersworld1050 nice that might be just what I'm looking for. Do you loose the traction control with the upgraded wheels? Thought I read that somewhere

thanks for the mods list you did. I just order an ultra bee! I will be following many of your mods as you have good seat time
Congrats! I am sure you will like it a lot. Feel free to ask any questions on it.
Also great to see you doing well after surgery 👍 from Australia
Thank you!

Thanks, Will do. I put it in descriptions on the page
Thank you. I missed seeing that.
Not A problem Robert, I put it up after you said something, Thanks for the heads up!🤠
you got the grip off the throttle tube!? respect. i had to buy a new tube haha. thanks for the video
Yeah, LOL! It took some patience for sure!

@@schreddersworld1050 Solid feedback, thanks for the info.
your video's are great. I'm considering and Ultra Bee and I'm curious as to what your total spend has been on upgrades? Thanks Schredder!
Thanks James, Right about $1500.00 in upgrades

i’m lookin to get one soon aswell, is the top speed enough for roads or do you think upgrading the controller would be a must?
It pulls to mid 50's pretty quickly. I guess it really depends on personal preference as to whether or not you need the upgraded controller

What do you think about the HDPE skid plate that is available now for these bikes?

223 miles on mine now after owning it for a month. What skid plate is that? Did you consider the SXS?
It's a no namer from EBAY The SXS doesn't look beefy enough for what I ride and the side protection is lacking in my opinion.
@@schreddersworld1050 the protection yours provides does look really good.
Hello Nice vidéo. Could you please share the reference of the new chain you put on it ?
Thanks, ProX MX Roller Chain Bought on EBAY

How did your hernia surgery go?
It took a full 4+ weeks to heal as it was a pretty invasive surgery, but all good now and ready to rip!
