I have been riding my Yukon 750 for five years and enjoying every minute. I just hit the 10,000 mile mark and have noticed a definite increase in gear noise over the past year. After studying the Voltbike video on gear replacement, I ordered in a set of the planetary gears. I also obtained a small amount of Mobil 26 grease through Amazon. The installation is very simple and after cleaning up the old grease and a few errant teeth from the old gears, the reassembly was completed in short time. All I can say is WOW! The bike is smooth riding and very quiet; just like it was when new. I've already happily started the next 10,000 miles.
Ordered and received new gears within a week put them in myself after watching the excellent video instructions bikes running great thanks voltbike
Stripped my previous planetary gears after about 5000k. Put the order in and waited 3 business days until it was shipped- after two days of no action I realized I needed to phone in so it would get put in the mail. After I phoned it was shipped same day. I wasn’t able to commute for two weeks while waiting for the product and then finding the time to install it. Haven’t had any issues with the gears since and I’ve ridden another 4000k or more on these gears.
I made the suggestion at the time: why not have a person or store in Winnipeg who has a few of the voltbike products we need regularly? Planetary gears, motors, bike tubes, batteries etc. So a person here could buy it the same day instead of waiting for it to ship from Vancouver. For folks like me who commute to and from work that would be helpful- taking a couple weeks off because my bike is broken kinda sucks. In the end it was fine and I’ve been greatly enjoying my daily commute through all the Winnipeg weather.
Hello,
The planetary gears worked great. I appreciated that there were clear instructions to help me resolve this problem myself.
Just as a note, though, I recieved this request for review on Feb 29, 2024 that says it was shipped 14 days ago, but I received the planetary gears in April 2023. You might want to check your automated system.
The video was good for changing the gears. But the presence of the small blocking thorn was not mentioned.
