Should ask them for the newer 1.3 motor, apparently from what I've read they fit straight in and you don't need to connect the handlebar controller for it to work.

With any luck it's still in warranty and specialized should replace the motor with a new one not repair the old one.

Maybe I've miss-understood what Bruce Lee meant, but he said he has no drive even with the motor off (like the crank is just slipping and not driving the chain ring).

So far so good with my 2018 Turbo Levo FSR Comp Carbon @ 2500km it has the Turbo 1.3 Rx Trail-tuned motor not sure if its the same as the Brose S. The grinding sound with yours sounds like a sprag clutch failure not the belt, because there's no drive when applying pressure to the pedals...

My specs are 443 in-LBF / 50 Nm https://media.specialized.com/support/collateral/0000090643_R1.pdf

Have you got a Torque Wrench to get the cranks back on, they're tight to pull on all the way home, Norbar make the best Torque Wrench they go up in points of Nm. Norbar TTI 20 Torque Wrench 3/8" Drive 1-20Nm. . Accurate to +/- 3% 13640

Yep the crank bolts are self extracting bolts, what I did with mine was to undo them till they were as tight as I was game, then went for a short ride loaded up the cranks then they came straight of.

Not sure whether you have checked this forum out for more information on the 2017 turbo levo http://forums.mtbr.com/specialized/official-specialized-turbo-levo-mission-control-thread-1016387.html

I've got comp carbon and it has the 504 Watt battery,so does the expert ,only the FSR 6Fattie has the smaller 460 watt battery, which is only 5% less battery capacity.

Not sure whether they ship overseas, but this is the most popular descent rack here in Oz http://www.isi-carriers.com/index.html

Are you sure about that, all the research that I have done indicates that the sram NX-GX derailleur would be fine. Check the Q/A it may depend on how the rear suspension type changes the chain length...

Just a few snaps from 45km ride today, you forget whats just out your back door, no need to dive anywhere just jump on your bike and hit the trails.

I would be interested is you find something suitable as well, I think specialized only do 32/34t chain rings and are hardened steel. Looking at mine it doesn't seem like there's much room to go smaller in diameter. You could go SunRace MX8 11-speed Cassette 11-46 .

@E-Wheels Yep I'm lucky enough to live in a great place, I can be at Mt Melville in a 5 min ride, then across to Mt Clarence/Mt Adelaide run the down hill and a few more tracks then back home through Mt Melville. @Steve A, yeah the mudguards will be coming off soon just been to wet.

Greetings from the S/W of Australia, my Specialized 2018 Turbo Levo FSR Comp Carbon 1000km on the clock.
