I believe 75-90ml of oil is the new recommendation not 150ml. 150ml will cause the oil to blow out of the breather and hurts the performance also. Not necessary to raise the front wheel. Rock the bike backward and forward when draining and filling in case a gear is blocking the flow of oil.
@@motortherapyinc it was in a youtube vid by; Have A Good One / the title is; How to maintain your Talaria Sting ebike. He said both him and GritShift asked Talaria directly. It's believable because I also carefully measured how much oil was in mine and it was at 82 ml
@@motortherapyinc I would start over and measure what comes out. I'm thinking you might not have enough oil if you filled with the bike level. I still had to raise the front tire to get 85ml in it. Makes no sense, 82ml drained out with the bike level. I measure what comes out and put that much back in. That system has served me well.
I watched a few videos where guys went to change the oil and they only had about 30% in it. They recommended that you should check it when you first get it to make sure that they are full.
You'll love it man, solid bike for sure. Definitely a bit beefier too, I'll be coming out with a review video & a "must have" mods list soon! Thank you for the support!🤘🏼
I had to lift my front wheel about 12” off the ground in order to get the full 150ml to fit. Sitting flat and level I was only able to get about half that into the gearbox.
@@motortherapyinc Hi bro. I have an update on my oil change performed two weeks ago. I added 150 mL and noticed a few days later when I finally did a top speed run that my top speed was reduced by approximately 4 to 5 km/h. Just a couple of days ago I drove full speed to the store about 6 km away on an especially warm day. I almost never drive full speed for that distance. When I got to the store I noticed there was oil leaking from the overflow tube. When I get back home I checked the oil and there was plenty still in the gearbox. I think next oil change I’m going to try between 100 and 125 mL and see how that affects my top speed.
@@marrzie467 that's a solid idea man, I haven't yet had that problem, but I honestly don't think that I have enough in mine.. I heard you have to lift the front tire up off the ground about a foot to fully fill the gearbox. Not sure if that's true or not tho
I live in New Paris Ohio and looking to get my self one love the look of them also work in Richmond indana so I would love to have on nice day all the time miss rideing them all
hey man. just found your channel, and i like it very much ) can you make a video or just reply me here - about necessary parts and upgrades that need to be done before riding? I`m curious about the stock brakes - do i need to change them all, or just the brake pads will be enough? and those 2 wires from the brakes(stop sensors) - will it affect somehow on the motor/gearbox, when they are unplugged? i`m waiting for my talaria already, and i want to order the most useful stuff for it - just don`t know what do i need?! I'll be very grateful if can help me out will all this. 😆 And don't stop making the vids.
Hey bro! First off, thank you so much!! In all honesty, I think the most necessary parts/mods to get before you ride would be handlebars + the direct mount & pegs! You really don't need that stuff, but to me, that's the most important. Now you got me wanting to make a video about mods, so maybe I will & I'll go a little further into detail!🤘🏼 thank you so much for the support man, I hope this helped!🙏🏼
@@KillabeeTsting9erGurl yeah for sure I'm still waiting for it to come back in stock, considering the forks cost around 2k new, and most places sell the sting with manitou for around 5k it's actually a steal, heck I could even sell the fork back for 1.5k and get an ebay rst for like $200, which is why they never stay in stock haha
Hey man, thank you A I think so for sure. My biggest recommendation would be to get some riser bars to make them sit up a bit higher. Here's the link where I got mine🤘🏼 www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07ZL3TBPB?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Ok. So . I'm looking to buy one of these....x160-x260-sur-ron-sting . I just wanna know if you could just only and forever just have one .and mod it out .... What would you pic???? Thank you. And iam so happy I found your channel. Love it..
You're in for a treat when you get one man! Personally, I've fallen in love with my Talaria. At the end of the day, it's a bit bigger and more reinforced, which I love. As of right now, a surron or x260 is the most modable, but companies have already started making talaria parts. I will be coming out with some videos at some point explaining why I would pick the Talaria, so stay tuned! & I'm happy you did too man, thank you so much!!🤘🏼
Price wise is the x160 even worth getting. Just cause it's cheaper. And then to mod it. Just wondering if it's worth it or just bite it and get the x260 or talaris
@@SurRonnie i would say no unless you're a beginner. You will end up spending a bit more than you would if you just bought a surron or talaria. If you're hitting jumps & riding it hard, it'll definitely take more of a beating. Then again, if modding things is something you're into, it could be worth it for the project. Long story short, the x160 is best for beginners because its a bit less powerful & smaller to handle.
That's a good question bro! There is an airflow tube that runs up the back of the bike & right under the seat. When the bike is standing up, its 100% vertical. I assume if you have it laying completely flat, there's a possibility that it could leak some oil out, but I'm not sure if it's even able to come out of that tube. If you had to lay the bike down, id suggest just covering that tube with electrical tape or something. Just remember to take it off before riding!!!🤣🤣
It's supposed to be 85w 90 but I'm not sure how big of a deal it is or isn't. 80w90 is whats common at the store i had to special order 85w90 for the talaria.
Yeah, I looked up the specs and noticed that as well. I reached out to the website I ordered the oil from & asked what was up with that. They said that it's so minimal of a difference that it really doesn't matter & the 80w90 will work fine! I am curious as to where you ordered yours though?
@@motortherapyinc NAPA has liquid moly 85w 90 (canada). I think that the 80w is good for colder temps (-26c) and 85w maybe -12c. I might have it all backwards. Oh, this little bike is a great hill climber just stock.
Why aren’t you using 85/90 per spec?? This is the third oil change vid I’ve seen and seems like people are just using whatever they have on the shelf and saying “good enough”. Viscosity and lubrication specs are there for a reason. whether or not “you think“ this is going to be ”good enough” is fine but those gears are operating under extremely heavy loads and high temperatures and the engineers know what they are doing - if you put the wrong oil in, even if it’s “pretty close” it is going to screw up your shit eventually. People really looking to these videos for instruction, you might wanna consider that people will be copying what you do. 🤷🏼♂️
I looked it up & got it from a website that legit said it was for the Talaria. I also emailed the website to make sure it was the right shit and got the okay to use it.
Curious why that fill hole bolt is so long? Should be just a little plastic cap like on my KDX…. So you just filled it to the top? Ordered my Talaria yesterday so I’m playing the waiting game… fucking shipping company Amped bikes used doesn’t answer their phone so I’ll already stressed about that…. Two more things I wanted to touch on… did you check the level of oil when you unboxed it? Assuming there is a way to check it? Me I’ll be putting new oil in mine the day I unbox it…. Also I see they sell a vent hose filter now to keep dirt out of the vent tube… instead of buying this I will just replace the vent tube with a longer one and loop it up at a higher point on the bike..

Just say u have to use the box end for the wrench I have socket wrenches and it doesn’t fit so I used the open end striped my bolt
Good tip brotha! That's rough, you live and you learn!
Use a large syringe to put oil in. I use 60ml syringe.
