    Wabash-RT creaking due to chainring play

    Thanks again! I have a spider, and the chainring bolts to the spider are tight. I can see and feel the chainring and spider move when I pull on it sideways. (I had checked the handlebar and fork and saddle (including post) before.) I watched a PW motor disassembly video. From the parts diagram...

    Wabash-RT creaking due to chainring play

    Thanks, Base! Are the two locknut types (steel vs aluminum) interchangeable? I hope the wobble is not a problem with the drive shaft or its bearings, and just due to the chainring seating. Is the chainring itself threaded on, or does it sit on a square or spline? I do not have the service manual.

    Wabash-RT creaking due to chainring play

    My Wabash-RT started creaking on heavier pedal strokes a few weeks ago. It has 1700 miles on it. I traced the creaking back to play in the chainring: when I push & pull the chainring at 10 and 4 o'clock, I can feel some movement. Is this a known issue? Is it sufficient to reseat the chainring...

    Two Yamaha branded ebike modification questions

    The Jepster app is no longer working for me after an update to the latest version (my phone is running android 10, without any hope to update to a newer android version). The Wahoo app works, and allows automatic emailing of the .fit file, which makes importing to Garmin connect a bit easier...

    Yamaha Wabash RT Rack and Controller

    Thanks, Base. The 'power' setting is supposedly the default for the USB port, according to the manual. I got charging actually working today, using an old USB A to USB mini cable, and a separate USB A to USB C adapter. Unfortunately the adapter does not fit my phone very well. I ordered another...

    Yamaha Wabash RT Rack and Controller

    Does anybody know whether maybe there is a fuse inside the Display C for the micro USB port? I tried all combinations of cables and adapters, and as far as I can tell my phone charges just fine with all of them, except when connected to the Yamaha Display C.

    Two Yamaha branded ebike modification questions

    Update: Bluetooth pedal power transmission (via 'CPP' profile), display and logging work with the Display C plugged into the Wabash RT, in place of the standard Display A. Getting the data from the Jepster app into Garmin Connect is a bit tedious, but does work (export/save .fit file on phone...

    Yamaha Wabash RT Rack and Controller

    Has anybody been successful getting power out of the Display C USB micro port? While I had no problem disconnecting the original Display A from my Wabash RT, and connecting the Display C in its place, I have had no success so far powering my phone via a micro USB to USB C adapter cable. The...

    Open letter to Yamaha re: 2nd battery promo (please sign)

    The local display on my 2nd battery did not react to short to few seconds long button presses out of the box, but after installing it in the bike and connecting the charger three bars of charge showed up on the bike's display (after turning it on, obviously). It charged to 100% (ten bars) in a...

    Open letter to Yamaha re: 2nd battery promo (please sign)

    Hi Southern e-biking, no, I didn't call them (or the dealer, or anybody else) at all. I could have actually walked or biked over there, Yamaha US HQ is just down the street from me....

    Yamaha Registration for free battery and 5y Warranty?

    For me it took exactly five months (to the day) to receive the 2nd battery (registered 10/11/2024, battery received 3/11/2025). Got a UPS heads-up the day before, no communications from Yamaha.

    Thanks for the update! Does the pedal power display and logging (to a connected phone app) work? That would be my main interest in getting the Display C.

    Open letter to Yamaha re: 2nd battery promo (please sign)

    Update: I just got an email from UPS announcing a package on the way from Yamaha headquarters on Katella Ave in Cypress, CA. Bike was ordered on 10/1/2024 and registered on 10/11/2024. So pretty much exactly six five months since registration. Update 2: battery and bolt-on adapter/lock piece...
