Good evening all, I've had my BBSHD on my fatty trail for about 5 months being powered by a 48v 11.6Ah battery pack, and over the last week I've been having a PAS issue, the issue being, it can all of a sudden just stop working. I can see it happen mainly when I come to a stop at say a junction, or even stop pedaling whilst going down a hill, sometimes I can turn the assist off, push the throttle to full slow down and then turn the PAS setting back up, but more than 90% of the time I have to get of the bike, turn off the battery, and disconnect it, as well as all the other cables on the harness including the speed sensor, and after reconnecting everything it can be hit and miss that it will last until the next time I come to a stop, or stop pedaling, or it can even get me to where I need to go.
On my last ride out, I noticed that the black and red Anderson connector was looking a bit worse for wear, and a bit melted, but I had no choice to to use it anyway as I needed to get to work, but when the PAS had its first failure, I went through the steps as mentioned, but the power wouldn't come on, so I took a closer look at the terminals, and they looked a bit more melted than before, but after a quick fiddle I managed to restore power and get to work. So my question is has anyone got any idea of what could be wrong with the PAS, and also could the dodgy connectors be causing the PAS to fail ? I've got a new set of connectors coming, I've gone for XT90's, as far as the bike, I'm using a 42T Race Face chainring with the adapter from Luna, and I've programmed the controller with carls special sauce settings from the ElectricBike-Blog.com, and I've been running those setting since the second week of using the motor, the only other thing, that I've changed or added is a gear shifting sensor, other than that it's a sthe kit comes. Thank you guys and I hope someone can help.
