Thank you so much im New to scooters and I tried to do this after I watched your video and I missed a step so had to watch again lol but got it cheers.
I bought the 10x, love it, so much fun. Only drawback was the movement and squeaking in the vertical bar. I ordered the upgraded stem coupling. Problem solved. Handlebars are now stiff and very minimal squeaking. Feels much better, highly recommend.
This stem simply needs the lowest 15mm section to be 35mm long and a clamp that is double the height like around 70 mm with 3 quick release. A cnc lathe could easily make a slide on extension that raises the total height of handlebars only 30mm ! If anybody want to discuss this further let me know and i will explain it and draw it up for them to route one out and we can try it out and get it a simple perfect design ! 👍🏻
My Zero 8x (recently purchased) have some resistance points or 'notches' when moving steering. One when wheel is centered, and others at several (left and right) angles. Some say this is normal, because it helps to dismiss wobble, so its by design. But others say steering should move smooth with no notches points...so I don't know if my steering is right or not :( Anyone could help please? Thanks for your videos!
The notches will smooth out after a while. It is basically tightened by the factory to ensure that your steering isn’t overly loose. If you want to tune it up you can follow this video here ruclips.net/video/QvMgzn84CR4/видео.html
03:04 I can see my gear clearly. Just like the gear you show here. So, you are saying I can actually use a wrench to tighten, without removing the headset at all? If so, then this is great!
@@nickjeffrey8050 I've not done mine yet. But I've ordered the Rugged Clamp to eliminate this (assuming the rugged clamp is to eliminate that fault). I can't comment on it (edited) as I've not done it yet. I don't have a wrench that size.
@@nickjeffrey8050 hey nick, I've ordered the Rugged Clamp. The one that comes with scooter has got to go. After just over a week, the screws are bent because I have to keep tightening the nuts (stem clamp). I'll have the new clamp this week, and I'm gonna do what this guy did on the vid. When I watched this vid before getting my scooter, it looked too complicated. Now I have it, and understand it, I'm gonna tighten the gear as per vid. I'll get back to you...
This doesn’t seem like a long term solution, seems you need to do this repeatedly perhaps the stem needs a more sturdy robust design, the way it attaches allows for very little play and will only wear the metal down with time.
HI Guys, I have a zero 10x since 2 months and I rolled with the stem loose from the beginning. When I wanted to tighten the nut, I realized that the thread of the front arm is so damaged that the nut is no longer tightened. I saw it is possible to buy the front arm for 10x but I did not find the nut. Do you know were a can buy the nut ? if I change the arm I prefer to change the nut too. appreciate if you can help me I am from france
now i know how to loosen the vertical stem to free tension, then install steering damper, just like motorcycle. steering damper is the correct way to add resistance, not tighten the vertical stem, vertical stem too tight will just result of wearing down the bearing and bearing race much quicker, then you will have a loose steering again.
Falcon PEV OK. So, what type of grease do you recommend? And what tool does one use to remove the large notched nut on the lower part of the stem assembly?
Hold the mode and power button at the same time for 3 seconds. Cycle up from P1 to P8. P8 controls power. Cycle that to 100. Problem solved. (Took 3 years to get your answer, lol).
My headset was delivered too tight where you can’t steer. Everything is too tight including set screws that broke my hex wrench and the gear ring that won’t budge when trying to loosen. The screws just bend. I’ll have to buy a pipe wrench I guess. Very frustrating to have to do all this before I can even ride my $2000 scooter for the first time.
I’ll get it working. My fault as the seller put it together when they delivered and I test rode it in parking lot. I mentioned that steering was too tight, but they said it would loosen up on its own. I should have insisted they fix it. It’s so tight that it sticks and makes it hard to even balance due to it sticking. I see now after disassembling that it’s VERY tight. I think the factory workers are getting over zealous with tightening the head. Must have been issues in the past with being too loose and they’re over compensating.
All fixed. I recommend that you do NOT use the bolts to tighten the head. Better to get a channel lock pliers if you have the gear. The bolts are M4 and bend very easily.
@@nswenson520 this tutorial is meant for people who can use regular tools in the house to do it instead of the hassle of buying special tool. The bolts or screws do not bend if done properly.
I noticed all the batteries in the background an I seen the ones that look like what I just bought, do you sell the lithium batteries? I payed £378 for a 48v 20AH, but is looking to buy a spare as well, do you sell them? If so are they cheaper than the one I bought for £378, also is zero going to bring out any new models soon, I am going to up-grade soon as I only got a 1600w an I want more power now, I will be up rating the motor on it as I bought it as a project scooter anyways, but I am torn between this 10x or a kaboo warrior, there is no where I can test ride them in the UK, not that know of anyways, a big downfall in the UK with these scooters is our government is not embracing this form of transport like every other country on this planet, all the UK government cares about is brexshit, meant to be 3 points an £300 fine for riding these scooters, lol, I have passed police a few times with no issues, mind you I got helmet on go pro an I am not joy riding the pavements up, it is not the scooter that creates injuries if it bought from an established company that is trust worthy like you lot at Falcon, not like dualped guy, lol, It is the person riding the scooter that causes accidents, wear protective gear an ride sensibly then what is the problem, are they going to ban cars because people crash them, the UK needs to embrace this form of transport, far too many cars on the roads anyways, think of the younger children who got to breath in the carcinogens if not the planet, electric personal transport is the future......................

I've just brought the 10x and having the same issue as well with a creaking stem! Did you get a spacer with the rugged folding clamp you purchased?
Please, give a link to the product of the upgraded stem coupling
What's the size of the big bolt screw under the swingarm? I need to buy the tool
Hi how do you remove the RED part on the stem for 8x ?
I am having a problem in that area, when you turn the steering it isn't smooth, almost like its getting stuck. Any thoughts?
This stem simply needs the lowest 15mm section to be 35mm long and a clamp that is double the height like around 70 mm with 3 quick release.

Hello, how do you tighten the Zero 11x on the steering wheel bearing?
Thanks 🙏
If the setting screws will not come out (2.5mm) do you have a guide for stuck screws? Thanks
Did you ever solve this. Same thing has happened to me. Setting screws will not move
@@DanielMatotek unfortunately not they are still stuck in the scooter i don't wish to attempt to remove them by then damaging the internal thread.
@@HanleysHatchlings can you remove the large bolt without taking them out?
Can I just continue without taking them out?
@@DanielMatotek the large bolt is stuck as the side bolts have it stuck in place.
@@HanleysHatchlingswas your steering to loose or too tight. Mine is too damn tight.

@@yuyucorns1952 I didn't bother with it. I bought the Rugged Clamp and it's perfect. I don't think my stem needed adjusted.
How loose was it and how tight must it be

No help yet???
Hardware store like Lowe's or home depot any place that has bolts and nuts
M10 Hex bolt. (I think)
Yup, just bring the nut to a hardware store. Show it to them and have them find you a new one. Nuts and bolts are sold in EVERY hardware store.

How to loosen it because my T10 steering is not smooth to turn its alittle tight from factory, what screw to loosen it top or bottom. Thanks
Hi there! Does the zero10x vertical stem have bearings?
Thanks
yes it has two 41.8mm bicycle bowl bearings, my zero 10x's bearing is damaged. Damn it was so tight.
@@johndaily9869 Did you over tighten it?
Them two small screws on the side, what are they for?
on the side? they are grub screws to hold the headset together.
Is itt same deal when i have problem with loose vertical stem on ZERO 11X?
yes same concept.
Thanks for the video. Just curious, do you use any type of grease in the area where the stem folds and the shem/spacer is placed?
FL HANDSTER yes adding grease is good because it will reduce the friction hence reducing wear and tear on that folding mechanism
Falcon PEV OK. So, what type of grease do you recommend? And what tool does one use to remove the large notched nut on the lower part of the stem assembly?
Tried this, but accidentally stripped one of the “setting” screws. Any suggestions?
Flash Phones get a new one at the local store
I stripped the screw and am unable to remove it.
@flash phones, where are you based?
Brooklyn, NY. I was able to get the screw out. Can you provide me with a link to purchase a new one of those screws?
Flash Phones Do subscribe to our channel if you find our videos useful:)
Hi, seeing as your 10x has the teeth all around the tightening bolt, could you just tighten without removing anything at all?
Russell Tudge lets call this video the wack job long way that’s unnecessary to tighten the stem
Yes, that’s what he explained in the video.
What size of the big bolt?
Did you ever figure out what size for the main bolt?

Did it fall apart? Or did you die?
