Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors
Serviced my Impulse 2.0 motor on a 2015 Focus Jarifra. Got a bearing kit from performancelinebearings.com. First class service. All bearings replaced. No evidence of water ingress so made sure to seal the motor case. Bearing replacement (x8 bearings and 3 seals) quite straightforward. My Impulse 2.0 motor had always had a problem whereby the motor would slip )felt like chain slipping)when stepping on the pedals with force so did the 'pawl spring' mod mentioned here. Made a new spring out of 1.0mm spring wire. Everything went back ok and have had two days of testing. So far so good.

Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors
Hi olepro I found your post 'Words about my Kalkhoff Integrale 8 LTD' really helpful and informative. I am experiencing the exact same problems as you describe and suspect the 'pawls'. I am confident of fixing this myself in a similar way you outlined. One question I hope you may be able to answer is after taking off the crank arms there is the Impulse chainring / spider on the crank axle. How does this come off? Does it simply pull off the splines? or is it a lockring? I attach a photo of my motor for reference. Thanks.

Impulse 2.0 Remove chainring / spider
Hi. I have a 2015 Focus Jarifra with an Impulse 2.0 motor. I have some problems with it slipping / making noises when under load. I understand these motors are problematic from the threads on this forum. Iam quite competent mechanically and would like to disassemble motor and have a look if there is anything obvious Ican fix. I attach a photo of chainring / spider. Taking off the cranks reveals the chainring / spider. Does anyone know how this comes off? First thoughts were the silver notched ring on the BB shaft (28 notches and about 30mm diameter) is a lockring? But then thought is this assembly just pressed on? Could not find any obvious tools that would fit if it were a lockring. So wondered if anyone knew before I start prying etc. Thanks in advance.
