Dude, that's crazy how quick that happened. I felt mine getting sticky as well, now it's a bit creeky.. time to tear her apart and do it myself! Thank you for the awesome video man, well done!💪🏼
I use to race bikes and always put a grease nipple in the head stock because of replace the bearing and races a couple of time's a year from steaming off. After steaming I put the grease gun on and pump until it pushed the small amount of water that get in from steaming. Never replaced a head stock bearing again after doing this.
Great video! I noticed some of the bolt heads rusting after a few days, and one wash (with drying). Really a shame at this cost this little cheap-outs; the bike ain't cheap...
2:50 at least they fitted the tapered bearings to the shaped headstock from the start and not forget it was made like that then another engineer designs a tall set of cups to house tapered bearings later - YES im looking at you sur-ron
I may pull mine apart to inspect it. I did notice though there was a ton of grease spilling out at the top and bottom of the stem when unboxing my bike just the other day so maybe it’s been improved on the newer batch of bikes? Who knows. Ill pull it apart to check anyway it’s simple enough. Thanks for the vid!
I'll add it to the list of things to do when assembling mine. Thanks! I plan to spend the better part of a day going over my bike when it gets here. Inspect connectors and waterproof, inspect and pack bearings etc.
@@OregonMotorcycle Just arrived this afternoon. I'll be itching to ride but it's supposed to rain the next few days so I'm going to go over the bike before her maiden voyage.
Looks like top-notch china quality control just like a surron. You better break down the swingarm/shock linkage and take care of those bearings too, they are really down in the muck. And it's always a good idea to upgrade fasteners as you go. I think it will become popular to direct mount the sting shock to the swing-arm, eliminating the shock linkage will give more tire clearance and reduce maintenance/weight.
Yeah, I've only had my bike for about 2 weeks now, and can attest to the idea of upgrading fasteners. Had the bracket the kickstand attaches to bent in shipping, and the screws strip out trying to remove it. Screws were short socket heads with slightly under sized hexes for some reason. Even T.H.E. stuff from a regular hardware store is an improvement from what it comes with.

Thank you!
Yeah let me know how it goes. Sounds like your bearings didn’t get packed either.
@@OregonMotorcycle you're welcome!
Sure will man, I also got a "first gen" model like you. That could potentially be why.🥴
Mine is also doing the same after one month of owning also. Thanks for the video!

That’s a great idea! Awesome. Might try this
I just got my Talaria. My stem bearings were dry as well. Thanks for posting this. I wouldn't of pulled that apart if not for this video.
Love the vid, I think you should add a couple spacers for the fork since you switched the stem to a direct mount
What kind of spacers?
Definitely need steer tube spacers, you have no preload on your headset bearings
My surron is creaking and I’m going to do this as it will be the same I bet thanku

Talaria, mines borderline fucked, catches while turning, brown shit leaking out of the head down back of fender

Thanks. Yeah let me know if you take it apart.

Sweet, yeah this something everyone should check out. When is your supposed to arrive?

@@rwolfcastle hell yeah!!
What state are you in?
@@OregonMotorcycle Pennsylvania.
Packing the bearings as we speak 🙂
Hi hopefully u will answer me. In this video u4 front mud guard is a lot better than the normal talaria one where did u get it from please

Cheers
would be coo to 3d print a bigger dust cap

Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing. Thanks!

Thx for showing, I am thinking about getting one. Keep the content coming :)
Sweet. Filmed two more today and another is already on tap;)
Don't even think about how much water gets into your motor both from condensation and washing and going through water.
You should really reroute your front brake line so it's on the inside of your fork versus the outside
As you say a 1:06, the stem bearings are something we wanna keep an ion ?
'Cause it's electric...
Do you think I could get away riding one of those in New York City without the pedal kit conversion
Nice video. I like the handle bar riser you went with. Can you tell me the brand name and where you sourceed it?
Gritshift.
Where do you get parts for these
See if NSK makes that size bearing or another reputable manufacturer a lot of no name bearing companies make junk
Yep. And these are junk;)
Yes but how you do the under one ?
The bolts and most all of the metal parts should not rust out this quickly.Cheap Chinese metal
I sent you a Instagram dm with a question
