I don't know, I've never actually tried it, but I read from the manual that the bike is designed specifically to run on one battery while you charge the other one, and then do the swap (designed for motocross, even if the cycling is not up to par)

Hi everyone, I have a 2015 Zero FX with 12,000 km that I use very little lately. it is equipped with 2 batteries and a few years ago under torrential rain and with a cold battery, it happened that the bike suddenly went to zero soc and stopped, while a few seconds before it was around 30% soc

then I put it on charge and it started to rise to 1%, then 2% and so on and when I was around 20% I stopped charging because it was already enough to get me home, when I turned it back on it showed 70 % SoC, just as if half the battery had been deactivated and then reactivated.

he hasn't played this joke on me for years, but as said I don't use the bike much, then yesterday it happened again. it seems that the problem occurs when it is cold, while when it is hot because it is used or recharged everything works normally.

What could it depend on and how to resolve it? Has this happened to anyone else too?
in terms of autonomy compared to 2015 it seems almost unchanged: yesterday I took a reference that I had taken 8 years ago and in which I arrived with 84% of SoC, and yesterday I also reached 84%. Thank you

hello, and how can you be sure that the problem is that? and how to solve it if it is? consider that we don't have any zero dealers in our city, nor in neighbouring cities
let me know, any advice can be invaluable
thanks

no, it goes and doesn't go at times: last week it didn't work for me 3 times during the day and on the 4th it did. Then I tried yesterday and it worked right away, so I unplugged it and cleaned with air thinking the problem might be some dust, then I tried again and it didn't work anymore.
In reality it then always recharges, only it doesn't tell me the recharge time on the dashboard and I have to leave the bike on: when everything works, it gives me the remaining time and I can turn off the bike.
I don't understand what it depends on, but it's the bike because I also have another zero and that one never gives this problem.
Could it help to spray some contact cleaner spray on the DC connector? I had done it in the past, but then the doubt arose that a little dirt could form, and I wouldn't want that too to have caused the problem, so I then blew with compressed air

Hi everyone,
a little while ago I went down to the garage: plugged the bike in, connected the charger cable and the bike showed something on the display: then turned on the bike and it started charging indicating the timer, then I turned it off and it continued to charge , all ok then.

then I disconnected it for a moment, I blew with the compressor on the DC socket of the bike and a bit of dust came out. I then repeated the charging procedure but it no longer worked, i.e. it charged regularly but without indicating the remaining time and only with the bike running.

I don't know what to think: but do you think it could perhaps depend on the internal charger of the bike which has stopped at 85% for some time? it no longer goes 100% with the internal slow charger, but it does regularly with the extended DC charger. I don't know!? I don't know what to think or even how to solve it, there's no dealer here: who could figure it out? Thank you

sorry, a translation error: I meant to say that it is not a problem with the fast charger, since on another identical bike it always works regularly. Thank you

hello everyone,
a strange thing happened to me yesterday: i connected the zero fx 2018 to the fast charger, but it didn't show the remaining time anymore. tried in AC and instead everything ok. The problem is also that if I turn off the bike it doesn't charge anymore, I had to keep it on all the time risking to burn the headlights.
during the day we did 4 recharges, and the first 3 gave this problem while at the 4th it magically started working again as usual, i.e. in DC it showed the time remaining and recharging continued without problems even after turning off the bike. What is it due to and how to solve to make sure it doesn't happen again? Thank you

Hello everyone,
yesterday in a fall off-road I bent the front brake lever: clear that it can be straightened, already done other times, but while I'm at it I would like to change it with a shorter one, so that it is more difficult for it to bend. Do you know where you can find some such lever that is compatible with the bike? Thanks
