I bought a Grizl:ON CF 9, AMA

[IOUZIP]

Parts came in and they were easy to install. Installed and configured the dropper too. Configured the screens and did a test ride tonight.

I used this mount to keep the display close to the stem.

several rides now and this bike rocks! Sprint motor is quiet and provides the assist to keep heart rate in zone 3 and 4 and maybe a little zone 5. Did some light trail riding and it's not a MTB FS but it's main duty is road and gravel. The FS is in the picture above. Powerfly 4 but built with Powerfly 9 components.

Any suggestions on how to blackout or reduce or cover the 2 rear lights. Anyone unplug them? I have covered them with electrical tape for now.

Disconnect the lightcable in the DriveUnit for the rear lights? Would be the easiest way
Cables are on the non-drive-side behind the cover. Use a needle nose plier to unplug.

I read it was hard wired and no way to turn it off like the front light. Thanks I pulled both lights put a dab of silicone caulk on the connector end and pushed it back in.

With this DU, there are 3 connectors on the DU itself, the first is the battery connector, the second the one for HMI (displays etc) and the third they call the MPP port. (In this screenshot that is blank. On the MPP connector you either have a fixed light cable, bit most likely an mpp splitter connector. This one has a purple connector going into the DU and the other 3 port are for the Frontlight, the optional speedsensor and the red one which is connected to the rearlights. Personally I would take take the main cable out.

I considered unplugging the wire from the motor but I have no plug to stop water from the connector. That is my 2nd choice. Adding a dab of silicone calk. I will see how my first option works. Thanks for the help

When you have this mpp spider connector on the du, you could unplug the red connector to the rearlights and use a piece off shrink wrap to cover it.

OK a month + in and the bike rips. 28mph is so easy to hit. So the 400 watt battery is a weak point. Thinking of getting another one for me. 5'10" but not sure if M or L is right.

Pulled the trigger. Had a 10% off discount code so I ordered another Grizl Medium. Ordering all the same parts as the wifes Grizl has. Cranks are 160mm seat dropper is 75mm but the rest is the same.

Need help to remove the crank arm. Bike shop did the first one and I am doing the swap on this bike. The cover has 6 pin holes I cannot find the tool to remove. What tool do I need to remove the FSA CRANK ARM. Part ML686

What tool do I need to remove the FSA CRANK ARM. Part ML686

It is a long 8 mm hex wrench. You just insert the end into the socket and slowly turn it counterclockwise. It requires some force at first.
This sort of crankarms is specific to good mid-drive motors and these are called "self-extracting" cranks. To tighten, you rotate the wrench clockwise, with some effort, until the thing stops. Or, use an automotive torque wrench and tighten at 40 Nm. Please inspect the marking near to the socket (M8. Tighten in this direction. 40 Nm).

Stefan, Thanks. I found the part it was a 6 pin tool. I purchased it off Amazon. Did not need it but good to have in my tool box.

Bike is together. Both CF9 bikes have the same accessories.

I want to share my experience with sizing and Canyon Grizl CF9. My wife is 5.2ft (158cm) Inseam 29in (73cm) and I am 5.10ft (178cm) Inseam 31in (79cm) tall. Smallest CF9 in US was a size XS which is her bike. I got the Medium size but I was between a Small and Medium. I adjusted both fit with crank arm length. XS Crank Arm 170mm to 155mm for her and Med 175mm to 160mm for me. We have the AXS seat droppers 50mm on the XS and 75mm on the Medium. Both fit us perfectly. Both seat posts are slammed to the frame. Touching the ground we both are on our toes when the seats are dropped. Raising the seats has our saddle heights just right.
