No. That would have the opposite effect and make the system think the bike is going twice as fast, so the peddle assist would only work up to 12.5 kmh.

Thanks a lot @desparky, My LX570 (2009) is bouncing like crazy from behind, a small bump causes it to bounce crazy from the backend. Now i am not sure if it is the Fluid Reflush or it is a Globe or Shock Absorber issue. Bit confused. It would be great if you can share your advise. Thanks again
@desparky8 ай бұрын
Sounds like a shock absorber. With normal shock absorbers you can disconnect the bottom mount then see how easily it can be pushed in/out by hand. It should have some resistance. If it moves easily it's faulty. However as these shocks also provide force to lift the car I'm not sure how to check them. They would have to be completely depressurised. You may need to do some research. It may also be a problem with the valve selector that controls sport/normal/comfort settings.

@desparky Жыл бұрын
The AHC won't operate if any doors are open. So I had the rear tailgate open, then selected LOW in the car before getting out. Then as I started recording I closed the rear tailgate with the remote. I also use a similar method when attaching/detaching a trailer. IE, open the tailgate, select raise or lower, get out and close driver's door with engine still running. Then I can go to the towbar and press the close button on the tailgate as I hold the trailer latch. As soon as the tailgate closes, the car raises or lowers.

For anyone watching this video and contemplating doing their own AHC fluid flush, DO IT. This video is pretty spot on and OP did a great job with the video. After watching this video and stitching it with info from other sites like ih8mud, I did mine yesterday and it was so simple. My 08 LX570 has 193K and definitely needed it. It required about 4-5 liters. I had ordered 2 of the 2.5 liter AHC fluid, a simple pump from Walmart, a larger 20 oz brake bleeder kit online, and a short as possible 10mm wrench. Only difference was I started on the LF since the motor and reservoir was on the RR (furthest away from pump). In order I did LF, RF, LR, RR. Had to do it twice to get the pink fluid on the 2nd flush on the final RR flush. I think if you do it regularly, a single flush would have been sufficient. Couple tips, start by adding fluid to the max level on N before 1st bleed, last thing you want, like OP states, is air in the lines. The bleeder valve only needs a quarter turn, half turn at the most to release the fluid. Having a short (2-3 inch) 10 mm wrench makes it easier for the rear bleeders. The small standard brake bleed kits will work, but you will have to close valve and dump fluid before full release and then restart. When adding fluid to the reservoir, pump slowly and put some shop towels blow the valve. Vehicle should be on the ground and this is enough space to do the job, no reason to be under the vehicle while releasing the bleeder valve. For someone like me who had really old fluid, you can definitely tell the difference in ride quality and how quickly it changes from Low-N-High.

Holy, Thank you for the reassurance that this needs to be performed. I've talked to a couple of shops (Toy/Lex only Indy shops) and they say "don't touch it." I think it's a matter of the old wives tale of "don't change the transmission fluid", where they are scared to do this, most likely don't have anyone that is qualified/experienced and no one that is an enthusiast, and don't want any liability. But I have some questions- 1. Do you think a 10mm crow's foot will work better? I'm more than willing to buy a 10 mm wrench and cut it short. 2. I don't understand the brake bleeder kit. I am under the impression that you simply open the bleeder screw and it drains, like a brake bleeder screw and someone has the brake depressed. I'm assuming you 'catch' the fall of the vehicle by closing the bleeder screw before it drops all the way. Please explain. Thank you again.
@desparky2 жыл бұрын
@@thooks1234 Just a normal 10mm spanner (wrench) worked fine. As for the "brake bleeder", I'm just referring to a long piece of tube that fits over the bleeder nipple and runs into a plastic bottle to catch the fluid. Unlike bleeding brakes where you need a person to press on the pedal to create the pressure, this system is already under pressure. You crack the bleeder and bleed the fluid off.. As you do this, the car begins to lower so you have to ensure nothing including your head or tools are under the car. If you're careful, you can slowly lower the car in a controlled manner as you let the fluid out. Then close the bleeder just as the car begins to stop lowering. This ensurers that no air gets back into the system. Also having the hose attached to the bleeder with fluid already in it will also stop air creeping back in. Good luck.

@desparky2 жыл бұрын
Yes, that's correct. I topped up the reservoir after each bleed. From memory I may have bled the first one then ran the pump but let the reservoir get low before filling, so as to only have fresh fluid in there. Sorry, it was some time ago so I can't say for sure. Either way, just ensure that the reservoir never gets empty and allows the pump to suck air into the system. Good luck and take care. Just be really aware of the car lowering as you bleed off the accumulator pressure.

I don't know why they are trying to limit the power of ebikes because of a law. That's like limiting the power of a car or motorbike to a top speed of 100kph and engine size of 1.3L or something. Give me full power and let me choose if I follow the law or not. I'm not going to do 50kph on a footpath full of pedestrians but I would like to cruise at 40kph when it's safe to do so. I also may need more power than 250w to climb a steep hill. There should also be a throttle on all e-bikes. We shouldn't be trying to conform e-bikes to limitations of pedal power. I'm not saying people should be riding a tuned sir-ron flat out on shared paths but there needs to be some considerations made for the technology to enhance transportation options.

The output is still the same, however the motor will be working for longer. It would be similar to the motor working if you were going uphill for a long time. I doubt you could damage it. I found that you could use the battery a lot faster if you really pushed it, but you are working pretty hard to keep the output power high for a long time. I would switch down to ECO mode most of the time and only use HIGH for extreme hills or headwind, so ultimately my battery usage was not much more than standard. I only did the speed "tuning" as an experiment, and put it back to standard after a while because I most often ride to and from work in the dark. 25kmh is fast enough in the night on a bike trail.

If you're referring to how the speed reading changes with how fast you pedal, then yes. Unfortunately that's one of the downsides of tricking the bike's speed sensing. The bike is no longer reading road speed, but now reading pedal speed, which is fairly meaningless. If you stop pedalling, the speed will read zero, and as you change gears the speed readout will change.

Hi mate, my video shows the only work I've done on the LX570 hydraulic system. If your pump is running and the suspension not lifting I can only assume that yours may have got air in it. Have you tried filling the hydraulic reservoir and making the pump run (by selecting suspension high setting), then opening the bleeders on the accumulators (located under the side steps) to let the air escape? You also may have to bleed the air out at the shocks somehow too by carefully just cracking loose a fitting. Let us know how you go, and maybe put a video up if you manage to work it out.

As an experiment I was going to buy a spare wheel speed sensor first before cutting the wiring so that I knew I could put it back to original.

If it looked like it would work, I was going to connect an output to the shimano unit and feed it pulses until I got a reading on the speedo. For the input from the wheel speed sensor to an microcontroller however, you'd probably have to limit the voltage to 5 or 3.3 volts (depending on the microcontroller) with a Zener diode or something. Not sure what level the voltages to expect from the sensor. Once you've worked out what sort of pulse the shimano unit expected, then you could just send out a pulse whenever the input received a pulse, but limit the time between output pulses to keep it thinking the speed is less than 25kmh. I find picaxe a lot faster and simpler to get non critical stuff like this working, as my arduino programming skills are crap. Have fun.
