  • I Hope it’s not the bearings, that would be a major issue and I would have to see a repair shop asap in Iran. But what else would it be? I was hoping i would stay out of motorcycle problems here because it’s all very difficult for me to manage because of the language barrier and organizing parts. Other than that, charging was a big deal today, popping fuses all the time! I guess now the real adventure begins, it’ll be alright🤙🏼

Leaving at the end of May 24, taking off at least two months or what ever it takes. That is because of you! I should have done all this when I was your age. 35 years later, I'm ready!!

    That's the bearing the "Zero" said the grease/oil leaking from it was normal. If that's the problem Zero will have the bearing dimensions. There nothing special about bearings, in larger cities you may be able to secure a replacement and have mechanic change it out. It appears it's easy to access. I'll give you credit, Marc, the stress of finding the next electrical outlet would drive me crazy.

    It does sound like it could be the bearing, but it also could be a loose pulley (for the belt). If you feel adventurous, loosen the belt and see if you feel any play in the shaft and/or the pulley. If you can pull the cover off the besting, maybe pushing some bearing grease will lessen the noise (won’ fix if worn, but it will slow down the wear). If the pulley is loose, try tightening the bolts.

    Hi Marc.
    I am Iranian. I am very happy that you are in my country.
    To charge a motorcycle or an electric car in Iran with regular city electricity, you should usually set the charger to a maximum of 10 to 12 amps. While fast charging stations recommend 12 amps to 20 amps, you should not set the motor charger to more than 10 amps in Iran's urban electricity.

      Hope you safety at first. You may need to order some parts online. Hence, you should be in country that international posting system delivers fast. but I think that your bearings can be replaced if you see a mechanic in a capital or relatively large city. For example in Iran you can find any size of bearing in Tehran if you need to replace. Ride safe Marc@@MarcTravels

    Just for the information in Iran's main language: Persian: Germany is Alman, German is Almani. In Pakistan's main language: Urdu: it's exactly the same as in English: Germany/German. Historically Iran had more French influence and Pakistan, British influence. Also in Iran, they use the same word as in German for Motorway: Autobahn (pronounced Otobahn). In Pakistan: same as in England: Motorway! Enjoy your trip!

    Dear Marc, I had driven over 60,000 km with my DSR before the bearing on my engine sounded exactly like this. I drove another 5000km with the noisy bearing and then bought the new DSR/X. I sold my old DSR with the bearing damage and the new owner is still driving it as far as I know...
    I've also had days like this where charging the motorcycle was really difficult because there were only a few charging stations and they didn't work...
    My thoughts are with you, don't give up, your path always continues somehow! And no one can take away what you have experienced so far! Big hug from a distance.

    Hard to diagnose the noise from a video but could just be a small rock between the pulley and the motor bearing. If a bearing is going bad I think the noise would be there all the time. Sounds like it comes and goes??? Good Luck Marc!

      ​​@@MarcTravelsif its at the same place in the pulleys rotation.. itll likely be the case hardening in the inner or outter bearing race.. if its at different points of the pulley rotation itll be one or maybe two of the bearings balls chipping breaking up.. just hope its the former.. once the balls go the bearing will collapse so be VERY vigilent with watching its progress.. .. cheers NZ

    It is really a mindset to travel on an electric motorcycle, let's face it: not many riders want to deal with the hassle of charging, especially when you have to lower down to 10A. Still, you're an inspiration to many 👍I hope that bearing issue is not too bad

    Maybe the bearings just dried out. I think i saw on the video a little rust on the shaft (sorry english is my secondary language and maybe its not called like that) anyway try to find some silicone spray for lubrication ideally for higer temperatures at least 250 degrees celsius (or what ever you find) and try to spray it near the shaft and maybe lubricate the balls in the bearing. Good luck!

      @@MarcTravels Hello, I think it might be a bit late to say this, but in some places in Iran, showing the thumbs-up sign is considered bad (to the extent of being an insult). I think it's really too late to tell Marc this, but try to show this sign less in Iran. However, on the contrary, when you put the palm of your hand on your chest to thank someone, or when you feel like showing a thumbs-up from a distance, it's good to just show the palm of your hand forward with your elbow bent, the other person will be very happy. I was surprised that you didn't visit Shiraz, Marc. I wish you had explored more around there, you missed many amazing historical sights.

    Does sound like a bearing. A replacement motor (Zeros solution) requires dealer equipment to be commissioned with the controller onboard Eve. One option is to replace both motor and controller pre-setup. The other option is bearing replacement. It's likely only the front bearing as that's where the load, and dirt, are the greatest. It's possible, I replaced the front bearing on my 2016 SR about a year ago. There are no dealers here in NZ either 😢 if you ever make it here I'll buy you a beer, which you'll need if you attempt replacement! Reach out if you want the how to.

    Eve certainly the star of the day, wow so much attention you do brilliantly coping with it all. Just amazing!

    Hello Marc, I hope you have a good and safe trip in my country, Iran, of course I'm sure you will. Regarding the food, I must say that in Iran they don't take money for food in advance and you have to pay for it for each child, I hope that the misunderstanding will be resolved.be safe buddy😊

    I just looked at the instruction to remove the motor from the bike on the service manual, and it's huge, but there is no published procedure to bearing replacement.
    The manufacturer's policy on that is to send the whole motor back in California an get a new one.
    The nearest Zero dealer to your position is in Abu Dhabi.
    That would be a hell of a detour!

    Hey! Greetings from Frankfurt!
    I'm from Iran, but I currently reside in Germany. I really liked your videos, focused most of the time on the road and the challenges. I wish you had the time to visit the islands of Iran, especially Kish Island, Hormoz Island, and the Persian Gulf, but since you are in a hurry to go to Pakistan, I can recommend visiting Chabahar (a city in the south near the Pakistan border), which has lovely scenery and a beautiful beach. I hope you enjoy Iran and have fun!

    • @MarcTravels

  • @mig1600
    @mig1600 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Awesome trip man. Stressful situation with the bearing. Perhaps you have already resolved this matter, but in this situation i would have relaxed the belt tension a bit until I could find a good mechanic. Relaxed belt would mean more wear on the belt, but less on the bearing. Since you have spare belts that should be no problem.

    • @MarcTravels
      @MarcTravels  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Alright good tip! I always have it way under what the manufacturer suggested, I think it’s way to tight otherwise. Will sort it out in the next video 💪🏼

  • @nevsmate8663
    @nevsmate8663 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I found this on an electric motorcycle forum... does it help??
    "I had nearly the exact same sound on my 2013 FX. Harlan at Hollywood Electrics suggested it might be a loose front pulley, and he was spot on! I loosened the belt tension, slipped the belt off the rear pulley, and could feel the play in the drive pulley with my hand."
    "To fix it, I eased the belt tension, slipped the belt off the rear and front pulleys, removed the mounting bolts for the motor, removed the drive pulley setscrew and mounting bolt (yes, it was loose), and removed the pulley and its key. I applied a liberal amount of Loctite red (no, I never plan to disassemble this) to the motor shaft and keyway, reassembled it, and applied some Loctite red to the pulley bolt threads and setscrew threads, and tightened it all according to spec. Re-bolted the motor in, put the drive belt around the pulleys, re-tensioned the belt, and test-wheelied the bike. All good!"

    The roads are not really of good quality. They repair the roads for a year, but due to heavy truck traffic and extremely hot summer temperatures, these roads are destroyed very soon. They should think about quality materials and modern roads, but they don't have to. We apologize for the bad roads.

    • @MarcTravels

      It‘s not your fault;) keeping roads maintained and in good shape is a world wide problem 😉

  • @steijntr
    @steijntr 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A worn bearing doesn't make a noise like that, a broken one would but you would feel a lot of resistance and other noise and under load it would certainly make more noise - it looks more like something getting lose and clearance are gone and start scratching (which could trigger worse things) I would ask the manufacturer what he things it is.If you want to do a quick check - drain the oil and inspect it and see if you see metal

    Hi man, about the bearing it's wise to change it before it get worse and risking the rotor to hit the stator in the engine.
    I bet at a random mechanic it's fairly easy to change it. Good luck!

    Here in Malta plugs are rated 13 amp. So if it is the same there, then over 10 amp, one is risking it. Great stuff Marc. Hope the knocking noise is sorted. Hope it's something simple. Having said that, bearings are compatible world wide also.

    Green Chile Adventure gear makes straps with rubber inline. It keeps a more constant tension on a 'shrinking' load. One could probably put a couple of short bungees inline with a strap to try it..
    I've seen so many videos of Pakistani recycling/rebuilding I feel confident you will make it to Nepal. At least you're not starting a fire...

    @GreatWesternAirsports 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    To my little eye, your front drive looks like a standard automotive cambelt/timing belt pulley z cost is less than £25/€30 in euroland(the bearing comes standard with a cambelt pulley)
    If you can't get one from ZERO, any decent size auto spare shop in Iran should have one in stock, you may be able to get one with the exact same tooth count so gearing remains unchanged. If i were you I'd start finding out how to lock the motor to enable you to loosen the big fastnening bolt to remove the pulley and dont throw the old bolt away as it's probably a left hand thread, add some mefium strength loctite woukd be my advice)

    Hi there, I'm lagging a bit behind.
    You said you're charging at 13A, but your display says "current 21", so maybe you're drawing more than you think? However, 21A would probably blow most fuses.
    Doesn't sound like a bearing, sounds like a little free play on the sprocket keyway. Hopefully just needs tightening, but I guess I'll find out pretty quickly in the next video.
    Did you bring a spare bearing?
    Also I just sat amazed and thought, well, the bike basically still works, your phone works, you can pay for services and you're a long way from home. The world is actually starting to function the way it should. Now all we have to do is get rid of the damn borders.

    About illegal motorbikes in Iran: About thirty years ago, I don't remember exactly, they carried out an assassination in Iran with a motorbike and that's why they were able to escape quickly. From that date onwards, engines with a volume of 250cc and above were banned. But after all these years, there are rumors that they want to remove this law. People, but they have these engines, like the two Honda CB1300 you saw. People easily buy and sell these engines in shops in the city. The police usually have nothing to do with them, but sometimes they may be detained for six months. On Fridays, illegal motorbikes can travel easily in the city and motorcycle tracks.
