Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Melted headlight glass on 2015 SR

« on: October 14, 2015, 02:05:24 PM »

Hi.

While washing and preparing my 2015 SR for winter storage I noticed something strange. The headlight (plastic) glass was melted with two dents and lots of air bubbles.
Photo is attached.

Has anyone else experienced this? Does the bulb get so hot and the "glass" so soft that the wind can cause this?

Best regards,
Frode

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / 2015 SR VIN - wrong digit/character?

« on: May 08, 2015, 01:41:15 PM »

Hello.

I haven't received my bike (2015 SR) yet, but the dealer sent med the VIN: 538SM7Z3xFCGxxxxx (removed control digit and serial number

)

According to the manual the M7 part means "15 MY S/SR/SP (9.4)" and M8 means "15 MY S/SR/SP (12.5)".

Has anyone else noticed this error in their VIN?

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Power Tank by demand

« on: April 22, 2015, 03:59:58 PM »

Since the FX is able to automatically detect a second battery pack. Why can't a SR/DS/S automatically detect if a Power Tank is installed or not? Or a 4th monolith in the case of 9.5 DS/S?
I know this can be limited by the firmware (and probably is). Why? To make sure that you pay your local shop for the installation?

if (model == FX) auto_detect_battery_configuration(); else ignore_extra_batteries_until_further_notice();

Or is it in fact possible to remove Power Tank without updating any parameters in the BMS?

Best regards,

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Buying the DS 9.4 kWh and upgrade to 12.5kWh?

« on: April 15, 2015, 05:50:45 PM »

Hello.

I have almost decided to get myself a Zero DS, but I am not sure if I should get the 9.4 kWh model or the 12.5. I asked the reseller here in Norway if it is possible to upgrade the 9.4 to 12.5 later and they said no.
Is this really true? As far as I can tell everything is identical except for the battery pack.

At this point the 9.4 kWh model is enough for my daily commuting (~40 km pr day) and 12.5 kWh is not enough for touring in Norway anyway. So I can save roughly $2800 by getting the 9.4 kWh model.
But the distance I commute may change in the future so it would be nice to have the option to upgrade the battery pack.

Any thoughts on this?

Best regards,
Frode
