Ice Bear Front Fork Oil Change

[@thehippiedog5956]

Great video!!! I have a 2022 Icebear grom clone that is so soft on braking the headlight is hitting the the front fender on braking. Brand new scooter too (less than 100 miles on it). The oil used at time of manufacture is like water and is seeping around the seals (how surprising huh). This should be listed in the PDs (pre delivery service) on these things. This is another step that shouldn't be necessary but when they use such thin oil in the forks, it's a inevitable problem and a safety problem too. The fluids used on these Chinese products are so substandard you should simply resign yourself to the fact you need to change them all after 50 miles. If it's a fluid, change it with proper oils that actually do the job intended!!! This is not a exception as I also have a Vitacci grom (2011 with 500 miles) that has the same lazy front end from the thin oils used. Adding this video to my channel as it is very important for both comfort and safety!!!! Keep on scootin :-) HD

How much of an improvement did this give. Does it feel better over bumps. I’m pretty light and I still can feel mine bottoming out.

It definitely helps with smoothing out ride. I’m not saying it’s going to be the answer some are looking for but on a budget or as an in the meanwhile fix it’s worth the change.

How long did you have to wait for your bike I'm waiting on an iceberg champion from mad dog and I've been waiting for fucking weeks😮

Did this improve the shock from hitting bumps?

[@how2hobbyist546]

It definitely helps with the brake dive it had. As for the ride it’s a bit softer because the shocks actually have resistance in the fluid.

I want to put a big wheel on mines..Can you tell me what fork length/size I need? And a good wheel size?

[@thehippiedog5956]

You have 2 ways to go... Simply measure the total circumference of the wheel (ground to top) and buy a bigger rim with a smaller tire (not recommended due to the tire and rim "pinching" over a bump or pothole causing a blowout) or you can put a higher profile tire on it. If you are talking about the back wheel you will change the gearing larger diameter than stock gears you up and a smaller one will gear you down the same as physically changing the final drive gear. If you up the front wheel size you will change your speedometer ratio and it will not read the correct speed. Also you will change the dynamics of the ride of the bike and that could be dangerous all by itself. You will also change the braking ratio and as we all (should) know, stopping is wayyy more important than going. Nothing wrong with a slightly taller rear wheel circumference if you are trying to get more topend speed but you will give up acceleration to get there and always remember that a given model scooter has a top safe speed by design so my philosophy is make it quicker from stop to top speed and do not try to exceed the top speed of the design. That's why we call em scooters, they are not designed for 50mph, but from 0 to top speed should scoot and pull hard (quick is better than fast). So my question is why do you want to do this? Is it for looks or are you wanting to do it for a performance upgrade?
