Thanks Stefan, but I don't understand the term "dry". If you mean dropping in charge level, here's my recent experience, which was first noticed after the #3 motor was installed. When charging, the battery indicator goes to full charge and the Mission Control readout maybe somewhere in the...

Regarding battery charge, the Mission Control and LED's seem to match. Each LED is 10%, where as Mission Control shows each 1% increment. So, 53% on Mission Control is over 50% and 6 LED's are lighted. At full charge, 10 LED's will be on as long as the charge level is over 90%. Seems normal...

Yes, the on/off and boost level "pad" is on the down tube. It has 10 LED's, and all 10 will be on at full charge. At the moment, after yesterday's ride, there are 6 LED's on, and the charge level shows 53%, which makes sense, as the charge level is more than 50%.

Always something new with my Levo FSR. After the last few rides noticed that the battery either doesn't fully charge to 100%, or drops down 3-5% over a few days sitting unused. Not a big deal, just a change from the past. This is the Mission Control reading. Two days ago I went for a ride...

Got the bike back from dealer. The performance is better than ever. Very smooth power transfer, no hesitation. In checking the motor temperature after two rides, it seems to be much lower than in previous rides. After both rides, 10 and 12 miles, the temperature was 100F and 110F. I've never...

The new motor (#3) has been installed, under warranty. It appears identical to the previous units, so it's not known if it's an upgrade. I specifically asked if there is an external adjustment for belt tension, and the answer is no. Specialized says the problems I've had are highly unusual...

Just heard back from the dealer on the latest failure. Specialized is sending a new motor. So this is bike #2 and motor #3. Saw the thread about belt tensioning in the Brose motor. I wonder if mine has a belt tensioning mechanism that hasn’t been adjusted. Certainly there is nothing in...

My 2016 bike is actually the second one as there were so many problems, they replaced the first bike. On the second one, the battery, harness, motor, chain, cassette, and derailleur have all been replaced, not to mention the brakes under recall. Of course the early Levo FSR’s don’t even have a...

My Turbo Levo FSR is a 2016 model that now has about 3000 miles total. The Brose Motor was replaced at about 2200 miles due to various maladies. The first two years were a nightmare with problems, including the dealer going out of business and Specialized having zero factory support. Now have...

The battery will drain more quickly if you ride with Turbo set at 100%, or close. When the bike is not being used, the battery drain should be near enough zero, even after months. If the battery drains when not being ridden, there must be a short or other load. I think if you fully charge...

One more interesting improvement was noticed yesterday on the second ride with the new motor. With the required speed limit here of 20mph, the bike motor shuts off the boost when you try to exceed that number. With the first bike in this saga, the motor would start to turn off at 16-18 mph...

Another update on my Turbo Levo FSR. The dealer now installed a new motor (warranty except for labor) and the result is remarkable. The motor firmware level is 5.0.0 now, and I suspect this may also be an updated Brose motor. On the first test ride, about 13 miles, there was never a...

Latest update on my 2016 Turbo Levo FSR. This is the second bike, as the first one was replaced under warranty within 6 weeks. Because the selling dealer suddenly went out of business, I was caught in the middle, but found an outstanding dealer that is also not too far away, and who became a...

Very interesting that Specialized got back to you. Hasn't happened for me. No response from Ridercare, no return phone calls, no acknowledgement of letter to President of company. At least you found someone there that took the initiative to help you. If anyone has an update on the Mission...

This is a followup to my 9-25-17 report. My Levo FSR continues to operate reasonably well, after the firmware updates, though it still has intermittent issues with power loss on up-shifts. It doesn't matter much on easy trails, but on uphill rugged trails, it can be alarming. It is a high-end...

Here's my 9-25-17 update. With a suggestion from a Specialized rep, I was able to find a dealer not too far away who actually has a trained tech on e-bikes. He was able to "borrow" the needed parts and installed new firmware for the battery and motor, and also got my Mission Control app...

My 2016 Turbo Levo FSR Mission Control has gone bonkers. Bluetooth sometimes doesn't hook up, but always says "pairing rejected by Specialized". Yesterday, the screen spontaneously showed a new format with Let's Ride only, and none of the other options. It can be scrolled to the right for...

I have a 2016 turbo levo fsr 6fattie, purchased 12 months ago. The first bike was soon completely replaced under warranty because of various control issues. The new bike did make noises in the lower bracket, clicking and rattling. Not sure why, but I discovered that if you back pedal a...

Yes, the power drops off when shifting, often even if you crash shift it, that is, keep pedaling normally through the shift. I find that it is best to anticipate a change and shift earlier than normal, and even to a lower gear than normal. I would think that the acceleration setting affects...

Have a Turbo Levo FSR, now with about 800 miles. Have motor cut-off from time to time, and I relate it to motor temperature rise. Specialized says that the control starts cutting the motor power when the temperature reaches 170-180 F, but I notice it sometimes at 160 F. The default setting...
