I took my ultra apart when it had less than 1500 miles on it because I thought the motor was getting noisy.
To my surprise I found very little grease surrounding the gears and there was a noticeable amount of gear tooth wear.
I ordered three new gears from GBK, but didn't order the motor rotor, with the small gear, because mine, at first glance, didn't look worn and mine also has the X1 controller, which is a whole other problem.
Taking a closer look I realized that the motor rotor gear was also worn.
I ended up not replacing the gears, thinking that the old, worn motor rotor gear would, over time, damage the new gears. Instead, I adding corn head grease and put the motor back together.
