Does your oil have 45,000 kms on it? These forks are pretty hard on oil, changing it out should make a real difference. The stiction on my forks definitely dropped when I started using the various Teflon additives, and also when I switched to super-light oil. With your mileage it would also be a good idea to change out the fork bushings, but for that you'd be better off sending them to a suspension place and letting them track those down for you.Thanks ray
I didn't replace my seals as they weren't leaking and looked perfect, but they seem like the usual circlip-retained seals I've seen on many USD forks so I imagine replacement is fairly straightforward (the Zero p/n is 22-07494). The links in the first sentence of my post have the oil-change procedure, it's definitely not what I'd call easy.

My bet is on motor encoder.Interesting! I wondered that too, but when I fiddled with the throttle the problem went away, albeit temporarily.
Don't have a scope these days but I found this on a similar inverter http://www.kerrywong.com/2017/10/01/teardown-and-testing-of-an-800w-puresine-inverter/That’s a pretty good wrap!
Seems pretty well made. Only dangerous thing so far is the DC input terminals, clearly designed for 12V, not 110V. I'll need to cover them! Protection is hard to evaluate without destructive testing, I used to do that to audio power amps. It comes with a whole bunch of spare 10amp fuses so I guess that's the protection. Well, just don't overload it! It ran cool at 2kW.
A side note, to my fellow Aussie Zero owners, with no dealer support, and a phone call to USA customer support, I was able to get my bike diagnosed, replacement parts, and back on the road, so all is not lost for Zero owners.Great to know - thanks for the update
Although I think Zero could make it a lot easier by setting up a remote support system along with the dealer network. I am thinking a web site to directly order parts from the US and a choice of freighting methods - slow and cheap, expensive and fast. So if I want to order a spare belt then slow and cheap, but if my belt breaks (with no spare) then expensive and fast.
Also an online chat portal with an engineer could really speed things up.
A bundle of software and cables to allow the engineer to remote configure etc your bike.
Mechanical stuff like brakes and tires could be done by any bike shop if you don't want, or can't do it your self.
I remember an Italian dirt bike (years ago) selling in Australia with the message that spares were ordered from the Italian factory and guaranteed to be delivered anywhere in the world within 5 days. If Zero could do the same, that would work for me.
