[@kriegernyq5366]

Thank you guys this worked wonders for my wobble .

[@JuanManuelDelaHoz]

Thanks a lot! It also work on my vsett 9+. Same process. You should used SoMo books under the front rear to hold it up if you are alone

[@EUC_Quebec]

You solved my creak thank you! Took 10 minutes alone.

[@dizlergaming7685]

Where was your creek coming from

[@michakuzniewski5644]

Thanks for this movie. I repaired noises in my vsett9 today.

[@bkanegson]

Great, helpful tutorial. Thank you.

[@viktorsteiner8214]

Thanks for this video. Now is my vsett absolute silelnce🎉🎉

[@beancente]

Que video mas bueno ! Muchas gracias por estos consejos , saludos desde Chile 🙋🏽‍♂️

[@Nutrient16]

Very well made video, could use more Vsett10 maintenance videos!

[@MyJohney]

Yep it worked like a treat THANK YOU

[@daddyralte49]

Am having the same problem with my vestt 10+ thanks the for info hope that fix my creaking sound….

[@eeroi6118]

This was helpful, thanks

[@outerzonerc777]

I would also grease where the tapered bearing race/cup sits in the frame. I saw you talked about the bottom cup but the top one did not look greased. When I rode bmx the headset was built almost the same. We would grease under the bearings and pretty much anywhere metal touches metal.

[@daddyralte49]

It took me nearly an hour as the wheel doesn’t drop easy like yours due to debris and a bit rusty.. inside, I used a bit oil spray on top and a small plank of wood and hummer to loosen It down.. and then put up the Handel back in locked and rocking back and forth and finally came off.. after I greased and clean up.. the creaking noise is all Gone..

[@Samisegunda]

Can you make a video about the vsett 8 how to align the handlebars with the wheel? I got my new scooter but the handlebar is not align.

[@Satchafunkilus]

thanks for the greasy tips!

[@sebulbathx]

I get one small knocking noise when I brake hard and has to use the handlebar as somewhat of a support and hold against to not fall over. To be honest it don't bother me that much since I don't regularly brake that hard but if it's possible to get rid of that noise in a somewhat easy way I want to get rid of it. But I haven't really experienced any creaking noise from what I can tell. Anyway will this cure that knocking sound too or is it only for creaking noise?

[@manitout9502]

Bonjour très bien expliqué! Est-ce que vous avez le lien pour me procurer les roulement du guidon de la trotinette ?

[@Mike_Malloy]

Thanks for the tips. A little surprising it doesn't come well lubed from the factory.

[@UrbanMachina]

You're welcome! While the factory lube may suffice for a while, it always helps to do this as part of ownership and maintenance.

[@kinse4514]

what is the size of the allen wrench? the big one

[@jeromeridge5566]

No mention of bearing adjustment upon re-assembly? Or no adjustment necessary?

[@herpderp7781]

What size Allen key do I need to remove the center bolt

[@franknsfw4769]

What size is the bottom hex screw? My stem is loose and none of the tools it came with are big enough

[@crypttion808]

👍Good maintenance and how to video, guys! 🤍 Thank you!

[@UrbanMachina]

We're glad this helps!

[@javascriptkiddie2718]

Could you do a tut on stem installation? The cables are confusing

[@harrydrury4734]

nice !

[@LectricBee2.0]

I stripped one of the two screws on the side of the collar. How important do those two screw play in keeping it together? Or will it be okay without one??

[@tangente00]

I have a hairline crack on the stem, down where the reinforced weld is. Do you think it is a problem?

[@jspjpp2969]

Merci beaucoup👍

[@andrewgonz-nf4mw]

For me is not steering crack but stem wobble ! Please help

[@abellau4105]

My creek wasn’t stem at all like some others. Most were from the forward and rear swingarm joints, and rear suspension joints.

[@yakupbozan]

what did you oil it with?

[@Jamesee777]

Almost 500kms on my Vsett 10+ and the creaking became unbearable and I'm sure it's causing extra wear somewhere. Oiled up all other moving areas around the suspension first, no luck. Finally took apart the stem and it was literally dry inside, especially the aluminum shaft part. There was some worn aluminum where the bottom of the top bearing rests on. Lucky, it appears to be cosmetic and shouldn't affect anything. I greased EVERYTHING up with car ball joint grease. Creaking is gone.

[@mornaistar]

Please make something like this for the vsett 11 PLEEEEEEASE!

[@EUC_Quebec]

Recommended torque for main stem bolt ? Thank you

[@escoot_nyc1651]

Rev rides recommends 80ft lbs

[@milordas]

Stem bearings size pls?

[@LectricBee2.0]

Hi, question! The two small screws that go in between the swing arm, How important is that when I can only screw back in one? Is it unsafe to ride it??

[@15recap]

Hi how did it go? I got the same problem

[@giles9017]

I have Cracking squeaking nosing on my vesst 9+ can your Method also be tried on the vesst 9+ ?? Thank you

[@UrbanMachina]

Yes, similar on the VSETT 9 series as well.

[@escoot_nyc1651]

I greased every point on my vsett10. I'm still getting excessive creaking even while riding on newly paved roads. Anyone know what can be causing this issue?

[@escoot_nyc1651]

I'll answer my own question. It was the front suspension, must have been too tight from factory. I loosen it slightly and no more loud creak. Hopefully this can help someone with this same issue.

[@strive4208]

@@escoot_nyc1651 be careful because too loose and you risk speed wobbles. Unfortunately I have been messed with this for a month and the end result…I’m replacing the suspension with air shocks. The stock springs are not properly hardened or I got a bad batch because I’ve lost half my travel on them trying to maintain a consistent resistance. Unfortunately that noise doesn’t go away for long as well. I’m pretty sure they cut corners on the parts like those shocks to keep costs as low as possible so I would probably expect to change them out at some point. Air or oil with rebound dampers 👍

[@escoot_nyc1651]

@@strive4208 Thanks for the advice. I just slightly loosen mine and after about 100mi still good no creak no wobbles even at 45mph. In my experience the long main stem bolt had more to do with speed wobbles. (Too tight wobbles, too loose wobbles) I got it just right and used a paint marker to mark the spot. Even though I was told by rev rides to torque it down to 80ft lbs, I found this method to work best. No creak no wobbles. Suspension is ok but definitely upgrading to oil in future. Scoot Safe.

[@bangad8722]

@@escoot_nyc1651 how did you loosen it?

[@kimberley1235]

Would a creak mean it can't turn left or right properly?

[@UrbanMachina]

Not necessarily. But if you can't turn properly, it's usually an indication of a steering bearing issue.

[@jasonberkers2142]

I just tried this today, I could not get the stem off, no matter how hard I tried. Tried a mallet help it along, no go. All set screws and bolt we're out. Any ideas?

Yes mine to ..did you find a solution?

Why not use a wratchet

[@Freezlot]

Everything is so easy for you ... I did everything as in the video, opened all the bolts on the left and right, unscrewed the central bolt, and I can not remove the steering column in any way. It doesn't move at all! In your video, it just fell down when unscrewing the central bolt. Why is it wrong with me?

[@Freezlot]

Finally it worked. I had to wobble the steering wheel back and forth and pull up at the same time. Lots of dust and rust and a little jammed. Thank you for the video!

[@dizlergaming7685]

[@okdok3742]

when is the industry gonna stop wth this ridiculous stem folding bs?? these r machines that can hit well over 80 kph so the last thing we need is a stem folding. someone gotta design a stand or something so that these scooters can be mounted on a car as bicycles are currently. u dont see bicycles being folded as a standard.

[@UrbanMachina]

This is a foldable electric scooter. It's supposed to fold. It's an actual feature of this scooter.

[@okdok3742]

@@UrbanMachina yes i understand, i just mean to say that this feature is focused too much in this industry. when r designers gonna realize that a foldable stem, no matter how safe and/or secure is still not as secure as a solid piece and thats what these monster scooters need. this r monstrous machines with crazy power and there have been too many cases of stems braking and almost always its from the folding mech. high end scooters need to stop being foldable. the overall performance will be way better and the scooter will also be way safer. folding stems r ok for lower end scooters that dont have multiple kw's of peak power but for these beasts, they r too fast to also be foldable. ur never gonna see a tour de france competitor race on a bicycle that can fold.

[@UrbanMachina]

@@okdok3742 we totally get your argument. This class of product started as a last mile solution, and then riders wanted more power, more range. At some point, they might as well be motorbikes. The folding feature in general, and for all scooters needs to be improved. It simply makes a vehicle more portable. The power on the other hand, is always in the hands of the rider. You can make anything faster these days. If you're riding a foldable scooter at motorbike speeds, then you need to be prepared for the worst that can happen.

[@okdok3742]

@@UrbanMachina no no, no argument for me and ur completely correct. scooters did start out as last mile solutions "xiaomi" im just saying, like u said, "they may as well be motorbikes" which is so true. if these r gonna have the speeds of motorbikes then they should be designed with safety first and then portability. we both have the right points.

[@UrbanMachina]

@@okdok3742 absolutely!

[@AtomicB-zq2cw]

Yah … that’s not happening. These guys do not have the right idea. My advice instead is to hire a hot bikini clad female mechanic to do it all for you while you watch. Hopefully, it will take forever like it did for them.

[@KeannuReevezzz03]

looking at this folding mechanism I really wish I bought a vsett 10 instead of a mantis pro

[@UrbanMachina]

Definitely one of the better folding mechanisms we've seen out there.
