Keith Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 @andrewnyer, as this is a specific Gotway question I have moved your post to the Gotway section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey Lewis Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I saw this a while back. I ride and know a few other ACM+ riders that haven't had any issues. I am on mine every day without issue. Not saying there couldn't be one though and you should always be cautious. I am hoping that this was just a one-off scenario. I follow a lot of forums and pages and haven't witnessed the issue anywhere else yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 GW replaced the 16 awg motor wires with 14 awg. They are basically future proofing the design. I am currently installing the new motor in my ACM 1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewnyer Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 If I'm buying one that was manufactured within the last 90 days should I be worried ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 1600 miles between 5 Gotway wheels manufactured in the last 10 months. No problems. In my opinion you shouldn't be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remove the side cover and post a photo. We should be able to tell if the updates were implemented. There are always going to be ongoing subtle modifications. Even if you have the previous wiring your wheel will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
