Levo Retailer Technical Guide
B u i l d , S e t u p , & M a i n t e n a n c e
This section outlines the specific Levo components that have unique build, setup, and maintenance requirements. When a new Levo
bike is built or prepared for a test ride, demo, or sale, please pay attention to the following items to ensure rider safety and optimal
performance of the bike.
N e w B i k e B u i l d C h e c k l i s t
Confirm that the rear derailleur hanger is straight
A straight and aligned derailleur hanger is more critical to shift
performance on a Levo bicycle versus a traditional bicycle.
Remove the right crankarm and confirm that the spider
lockring is tight
Hold the chainring with a chain whip or apply the rear brake
with the chain in the small cog, then tighten the lockring until
it bottoms out. The lockring is a standard right hand thread.
Confirm that the crankarms are tight
The crankarms are visually identical but can be identified
by the "R" and "L" on the back. Confirm the crankarms
are on the correct side of the bike and tight.
Confirm that the chain guide is properly adjusted
All Levo bikes: remove the stainless steel shim between
the guide and the motor cover unless there is contact
between the outer guide face and chain.
FSR Levo bikes: compress the suspension to make sure the
chain just rubs the guide when the chain is in the lowest gear.
Hardtail Levo bikes: adjust the guide so that the chain nearly
rubs the guide when the chain is in the lowest gear.
Confirm that the motor operates properly
Test ride the bike to verify the drive system is functional.
