So nice.  I have the 2013 and have had some problems(more than 30 days in shop for different problems).  Eventually Zero shipped bike back from New England to factory in CA and put a 2014 Battery Monolith and new motor in bike.  Hopefully I won't break down again.  Filled out the papers for Lemon LAW for New Hampshire  and started talking with Aaron Cheatham Director of Customer Experience who really got things moving for me.  Lemon Law arbitration board received papers and said I have one document out of order and have to mail both sets of documents back to them and manufacture zero.  Not going to do it because bike is fixed and hell its a lot of paper to deal with.  Lemon Law forms and documents required are a real pain in the ass.  Glad Zero stepped up and fixed bike with newer model parts.

Wish I had ABS and newer suspension like you.

Enjoy.

Hey bike is fixed now with new BMS board guess next time I will spend the fifty and put papers in as soon as there is a problem.   ;D

Just an update.  Bike is fixed at just over 34 business days in shop for warranty repairs.  It has a new BMS board and is working fine now.  If anything goes wrong now I will file the papers immediately now that I have collected the service records required to prove bike has been unusable for 30 plus daysl.

Same problem too.  Happened today after work.  Nothing like calling your wife to get the truck and buying a ramp to hall this thing on a nice warm summer day. Many problems with this bike: 1st it was in the shop for firmware recall,  then it had a charge controller problem (replaced ccu twice), now its the BMS board.  I was close to filing New Hampshire lemon law papers a $50 fee before, now I will have to do it.  Can't trust this bike if it has problems as much as this.

As of today its been more than 30 days in the shop for warranty repairs and I have had it.

Its not that hard.  To do lemon law NH just get the service record for the bike and print out the forms at http://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/dmv/forms/index.htm#arbitration

make sure to print out the checklist and follow it.

total days in the shop 30 days and/or 3 repair attempts for same thing allows you to file with NH arbitration board.  the board may take a month to process then they give manufacture 1 more attempt to fix.  Really favors manufacture rather than you. The 30 days cumutive business days in shop will occur Aug 8th.  They said they would get me a new bms board installed by Aug. 8th, but I am filing anyway because by the time arbitration board looks at it, the bike may be broke again in which i get my money back.

Many problems with this bike: 1st it was in the shop for firmware recall,  then it had a charge controller problem (replaced ccu twice), now its the BMS board.  I was close to filing New Hampshire lemon law papers a $75 fee before, now I will have to do it.  Can't trust this bike if it has problems as much as this.

It appears the charge controller board has been updated.
Just got my bike back and notice no clicking sounds when bike charges.  Service manager says board was replaced with what they put in 2014 models.  It has a plastic cover and solid state relays.  I believe old board had relays that switched across each battery cell and measured voltage of each cell.  Also the relays are used to switch across each cell to charge them.  Relays suck and am glad they updated the board.  Happy to have bike again. ;D ;D

before this happened had to bring it in for firmware upgrade to controller.  it worked fine then brought it to work pluged it in at home to charge next day was going to work in morning and noticed no green charged lamp in morning along with wird clicking pattern.  I was missing only one bar so I drove it to work and when I was home plugged it never showed the green charging light again and only 2 bars left.
Zero said to check fuses(they were ok) and red L.E.D. on charge controller under seat in front of fuses.  Zero said it should blink once when you plug bike in.  L.E.D. never came on and I decided it needed to go back to dealer.

dealer says a new charge control board needed.  Its located below the battery.

I had same problem.  Had to put it into the truck and drive it to the dealer, Will post what they find.

mine goes 95 and sometimes 96 but then goes to 95,  Can't keep it there too long because you get red over temp and it will throttle you down to 85.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Problems with Zero S
« on: June 09, 2013, 07:58:28 AM »
 ;D  I am a new 2013 Zero S owner.
So far I have adjusted the suspension to my liking and rolled back the handle bars.

Noticed vibration at high speeds and took the front  wheel off to get it balance.
Rides beautiful now.  My big question is shouldn't the wheels come from the factory or dealership be balanced ?

Also when reading the manual it points out that the bottom nut on front forks is a locking nut and the center screw is used to adjust compression speed.  Don't loosen this nut!  To adjust suspension compression speed just turn screw valve the required clicks from closed position.  This locking nut holds the internal dampener in position.  If you do it may not tighten again and it will cost you 113 dollars to pay a mechanics time to insert something in the top of the fork to get that nut tight again.
Also lost power to turn signal, lamp and electronic display.  Came home and found fuse for dc to dc converter had pitted ends.  Did a light sand on the fuse connecter and reinstalled.  No issues now.
