I bought chrome pedals I’m gonna get chi and bac855 soon also all black protaper bars Kendas horizon color shift paint and a custom vented plate custom decal battery fork guard and fork stickers short seat s2 and then thrill seekers seat cover not sure if i should put my name on the side or not maybe a warp 9 stem Il def get Flo brake levers but should i get magura or formula for wheelies and looks or wait for those brembo mtb brakes to drop any thing else I could add

How can swap this to a rx I bought the 2 up seat and got a s2 thrill seekers seat cover but where do I buy the rest of what I need and what else do I need

My Super73 R Adventure has started making a cracking/clicking noise from what sounds like the head tube or stem area.
It happens when:
Turning the handlebars
Pulling up for wheelies
Landing small jumps
Putting pressure on the front end
I inspected the frame and can’t find any visible cracks around the welds or head tube. The bike rides fine otherwise.
I recently washed the bike, so I’m wondering if water got somewhere it shouldn’t have or if the headset bearings need grease/adjustment.
Has anyone had a similar issue on an RX or R Adventure? Was it the headset, stem, fork, or something else?
Any troubleshooting tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’m confused about what this sound is on my Super73 RX Adventure. I just washed the bike and now it’s making a weird sloshing/noise sound. I’m new to Super73s — I literally got the bike last Saturday — so I’m trying to figure out if this is normal or something I should worry about.
The bike still runs completely fine. I picked it up and tested it after and it still hit 33 mph in Mode 4 even though the battery is low, and around 23 in Mode 2, so the motor definitely still works fine.
At the end of the video I backed the bike up on purpose so you guys could hear the weird sound the motor makes when rolling backwards too. Is that normal on these bikes? I’m mainly wondering:
Is the sloshing sound something to worry about?
What’s the weird noise when backing up?
Could water have gotten somewhere important?
Also before anyone says it, it’s not water inside the battery. I wiped the battery down separately before washing the bike.
Any help would be appreciated because I’m still new to these bikes.

Is this worth getting? Surron lbx check the frame

I’ve been researching the Sur-Ron LBX for a while now. Finally found one locally for $1,800–$2,100 (2023 model) and wanted to get some feedback from people who actually know these bikes.

The bike:

∙ Stock LBX, 4,000 miles

∙ Has a Warp 9 rear rotor (upgrade over stock)

∙ Speedometer is cracked but still functional

∙ Frame has surface scratches, nothing structural

∙ Seller says everything else is fine

Why I’m still considering it despite the miles:

I’m planning to mod it eventually anyway — Chi 72V battery, upgraded controller (looking at Ventus V9600 or EBMX X-9000), possibly a motor swap down the road. So the stock battery degradation matters less to me since it’s getting replaced. I just need the frame and motor to be solid.

My financial situation:

∙ Getting $800 for my birthday May 1st

∙ Starting a job May 7th at $15/hr

∙ Subject to Virginia minor labor laws so capped at 18hrs/week during school (ends June 12th) then can work ~36hr morning shifts in summer

∙ Mom is willing to chip in $500–600 so I can buy it immediately and pay her back within 5 weeks from my paychecks

My questions:

Is $1,800–$2,100 a good deal for a 2023 LBX with 4,000 miles, or should I try to push lower? What would you realistically pay?

At ~4,000 miles, how worried should I be about the motor and bearings? What usually goes first on these?

Even though I plan to upgrade to a 72V, is there anything I should check to make sure the stock battery isn’t completely cooked?

Are there any red flags I should look for when I go see it in person (specific sounds, play in parts, etc.)?

How big of a concern is the cracked speedometer—easy fix or sign of harder riding/crashes?

If I’m planning to go Ventus V9600 or EBMX X-9000, does the stock motor hold up fine, or should I expect to upgrade that sooner?

Is buying a higher-mile LBX like this fine if I’m basically building it anyway, or am I better off waiting for a lower-mile cleaner one?

How much should I budget short-term for hidden maintenance (bearings, chain, brakes, etc.) after buying?

Would you take this deal now, or wait and try to find one closer to $1,500–$1,800?

Also should I get frame guards or just powder coat it
