I have the zero Sr/s and I had a similar experience. Purchased the moto in March and would consistently get error 31 with the bike unable to take charge. I was able to charge only at random attempts and when the dealer would charge it would work without error, so the issue went undiagnosed for months. Until I got on emails with support at zero motorcycles dot com and they read the logs and relayed a reference number to the dealer. The bikes charger was faulted so the dealer ordered 1 new charging unit (just 1 even though I have the premium). They replaced it and the randomness of charger taking hold was solved, but now I was only getting 2.8kw max charging (when max should be upwards of 5.8kw). Long story short, the dealer didn’t plug the second charger into the MBB so more service was required and now I’m a happy camper. I wish u luck.

Ok, problem resolved!

After ‘priming the charger’ I was still unable to reach more than 2.8 so I returned the bike to the dealer where they found one of the chargers was not connected to the MBB. Problem solved. Plus I’m miraculously receiving charge notifications, charger disconnection notifications, and the like from the bike! I feel much at ease now.

The plug end of the charge cord is a 110 3 prong but there is an adapter for a 120 v plug. The adapter had 1 of the prongs sideways.

Ok the dealer has all the connections for me to charge with the powercord on a 220v source. I’m excited like a  young boy on Christmas to see if this fixes my problem.

The tech wants me charge the bike with the 220v turbocord then try plugging into the 6.6kw charge stations. He says using the turbocord on 220/240 will prime the bike to then accept the 5.8 at the charge stations.

^ I know I won’t get the full charge 5.8kw but some zero chargers are known to not reach that until they are ‘primed’ by plugging into a  220v source. But I don’t know how to plug in the powercord which came with the bike into a dryer receptacle

I’m in constant communication with zero techs and they say I need to prime the charger by connecting the turbo cord charger to a 220/v240v. How to I get from a regular male connection 110v to a 220/240v connection? The zero tech says I would need an additional adapter in addition to the turbocord and the provided adapter (nema 6-20p). If any one has a product for these adaptions Let let me know.

The srs premium I paid for Does have the heated grips and supposed to have the charge tank. I see the two vents under the storage tank. Plus the service associate who signed the bike to me after having the charger replaced initially Told me the “two” chargerS cost the shop 3k *warranty issue addressed in OP* (charge would only commence randomly and sometimes id have to go around the block and retry plugging in again for the charge to start). I don’t think the dealer has access to a charging station which is why there may be ‘no charging issues’. The dealer claims to send logs to zero every time I’ve brought it in. I love the bike and I know the issues will be resolved but man it’s caused me a little bit of a heartbreak. I’m calling zero tomorrow because this is my only way of transportation and it’s killing me to sit at a charger for 3 hours to fully charge.

After 2 weeks at the dealer they found nothing wrong with charging ( I’m still drawing 2.8kw max at 6.6 rated chargers with only the bike plugged in). The dealer referred me to the 866 number for these technical issues.

Correct the 6.6 I’m referring to is the charging station. On the dash charging has never been more than 2.8 kw on my Sr/s premium. On my previous Sr/f premium IVe seen 6.6 Max.

You mention 6.6kW
I assume that you are referring to the capacity of the charge station, not the kW number on the dash during charging.
My understanding is that the 6kW capacity of the onboard chargers is a mathematical capacity, and in the real word after losses along the way, that turns out to be a bit less than 6kW.  I think the highest I have seen on my dash is 5.8kW

I previously owned a zero Sr/f premium so that bike I could charge at 6.6kwh at local charge stations. So I tried each of these stations I previously would reach 6.6kwh but with my Sr/s premium I only reach 2.8kwh (with no other ev on the second porT. Additionally the port says 6.6kwh per port.) I’ve tried at least 8 different charging stations with the same result . With the home charge cord attached to a regular receptacle I reach 1.2kwh (normal). I’ve emailed zero twice and no response.

Could Zero motorcycle have installed a standard level charger on my premium bike during factory build? I’ve never charged at more than 2.8kwh

Warranty replacement: Is it possible for a dealer to mistakenly order and install a standard charger on a premium Sr/s under warranty? Asking for a friend. Zero customer service please contact me. Thank you.
