Title: Zero FX issues. Throttle failure leading to bike not working.
Post by: Agsurf5 on November 03, 2020, 03:49:47 AM

My Zero Fx this morning decided not to go.
I used it two days ago with no issues.

I got a check engine light, and it is displaying a series of error codes.
It has been wet here, and the bike was covered, but I think humidity might have gotten in it.
Does not turn on, but also if plugged to the wall for charging nothing happens. It shows no sign of charging and display goes off after a little bit.

Error codes.
25, 27, 29, 21, 45, 47, 48, 49
I contacted the dealer, but they are 6 hours away. So I was wondering if there is anything you suggest to do to solve the issue.

UPDATE:
After I spoke with the dealer on the phone, we narrowed down the issue to the throttle control. Once disconnected all the error codes go away and bike charges again. Next question is howe to fix it, apart from replacing it.

Thanks,
alberto

The dealer could order you a new throttle and send it to you.
   It might be this one: THROTTLE BITRON HALL EFFECT PCB  45-08039 NOTE: Supersedes 27-08000

Otherwise, here is a thread about the Domino throttle alternative.
