The link says 102V, 2.8kwh? I'm guessing this is the FX3.6 perhaps? According to my app, max voltage is 116V, should be way more than 2.8kwh. Has there been no change to the batteries in 11 years?

Appreciate all the replies! I honestly forgot I posted this and never got an email letting me know I had replies, and I don't see a way of turning that on in the settings...?
Good to know I can't quite pull off 6KW/hour of charging, but with a controller I can easily throttle it. I had read elsewhere that the BMS would allow up to 7KW/hour, but that post was from a long time ago. That is the frustrating thing about trying to research this, even though the bike model has been made for decades, there is very little info about changes over that time.

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it. I want to buy a fast charger for my bike, but need to know the battery chemistry and cell configuration, and I can't find that info on Zero's webpage and I haven't had much luck searching forums. Does anyone happen to know?
Appreciate it!

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: FX, belt replacement interval?
« on: March 11, 2024, 06:41:58 AM »
After a year and 1/2 riding off road, I feel I can answer this question pretty authoritatively. Switch over to chain.
In a year of riding mixed street/dirt, I broke 3 belts, which is roughly $220 per event. It is a pain in the butt to change out the belt on the trail, not too surprisingly. But something that might be less obvious, the belt drive pulley is aluminum and the dirt and sand chews up the drive pulley really fast. It eventually creates issues with drive lash and belt slipping. It will depend on what you're doing, but my sprocket wore out surprisingly quickly.
As already said, it just isn't worth it. Just convert to chain. It is better in every way, if you can live with the noise. The noise is annoying, no doubt.

I feel like this shouldn't be heard to find, but my googling hasn't been very helpful. I have a 2022 FX7.2 Zero, I'm looking for an aftermarket charger that is capable of 6KW/hr, or there abouts. Does anyone know of a company offering that? Thanks!

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / FX, belt replacement interval?
« on: November 28, 2022, 05:39:26 AM »
So I've been riding my 2022 FX over 2000 miles and am really enjoying it. I converted to chain for a while, but found it too annoying and switched back to belt. I am using it for commuting on weekdays and also using it for dirt biking on the weekends. I have two sets of rims for street and dirt and switch between them. I know getting air is the death of belts, and have been careful to avoid that, but I was curious, would it be a good policy to replace the belt once a year as a precaution? I would really hate to have the belt break on a weekend trip while in the middle of no where. Has anyone used a belt for an extended time off road?
I haven't ridden a lot off road with the belt, I converted to chain early and only recently converted back to belt. I tend to ride pretty aggressively off road, but don't get much air on the woopies or play with jumps.
I was getting 40 miles of hard riding, but recently only got 30 miles after switching back to belt drive. But the temperature dropped quite a bit at the same time, so I'm sure that effected it too.
