Thanks.. I was able to do the bearing swap successfully but of course in my haste I forgot to install the spacer between on the inside of the hub the bearings and seem to have misplaced it somewhere in the shed
Oh well. It's functional but will have to redo again when it turns up.. P.S. I believe the reason the stock bearings failed was due to overtightening the axle nut. Once it's overtightened the wheel doesn't spin or spin freely leading to failure within a short period of time.

Thanks yea.. I've already planned for a replacement set and will be searching the shed for the inner spacer and now that I've done it once will be much easier the next go around

Just wanted to provide an update stemming from my saga earlier this year when i crashed due to the rear wheel falling off:
PowerSportsMax really delivered on their customer service on this one! Despite being out of warranty, they sent one of the parts needed that they had in stock and then sent a check for $105 for the remaining items to make me whole again. Also, and this is a huge thank you to them.. after changing the front wheel bearings and then misplacing the inner hub spacer, i reached out to them to see if they had the spacer. They promptly sent me a part in the mail, however, it was the wrong parts and were the axle spacers instead of the hub spacer. I then let them know that they sent the wrong part and again sent the part info from the parts diagram (9-2) as well as a pic, they went the extra mile and sent me a whole new front wheel with tire.. amazing! Thanks again PSM and Zora!

I have had good help from Zora as well. Zora sent a new in packaging right footpeg priority mail after I sent a picture of the problem. No questions, just new footpeg. My Powersportsmax experience has been great so far.

I'm about to pull the trigger on an XPRO this week, tired of waiting on my friends. Anyone have purchase issue with XPROUSA?

I know PlumpKibbles bought from XPro and perhaps will chime in on that experience. i think the worst nail-biting part of the deal is hoping that the bike gets delivered properly and without damage, that seems to be less common though sadly..

Powersportsmax is the same vendor. I am not sure how/why they maintain separate websites with different purchasing processes. The same bike is available both sites. They sell on Amazon too.
I want the 6 speed counterbalanced 249cc engine, and the fully adjustable suspension roller style throttle and adjustable levers (I do like those nice shorty levers on the Titan). So the Templar X is a good match for me. I will order one today. I have had good experiences with Powersportsmax so I will probably stick with them for this purchase. |

This is pretty cool. I wasn't aware of an Xpro option that had the 250cc engine and 6 speed with adjustable suspension.. and only $300 more than the Titan.. looks to be the best option for sure and cheaper than the similar alternatives.. wish it had been available last year.
