Came out of my afternoon meeting to find a very low front tire on my 2016 DS. After meandering down the hill only to find the gas station air pump OOC, I bought a fix-a-flat at the auto parts store. Was later told the shop can’t fix my flat now because the fix glue won’t adhere to the spray sealant.

Went to jpcycles.com to order 2-day Cont Attack 2 replacement and got a confirmation that it shipped only to inquire today and be told that it has to go to the KY warehouse in order to ship to “international” locations, aka Hawaii.[emoji34]

Called Hollywood Electrics and they referred me to Jakewilson.com or Revzilla. Went to the former, found the same tire for cheaper and still got 2-day shipping. (Hope I didn’t just jinx myself, but want to replace my tire before work travel takes me out of the country for most of April.) 🤞🏼it shows up on Monday.

A quick google search finds discussions of setting the threshold, Keith:

'Select "Edit" from the main Devices screen in the App. You can then change the standby threshold to your requirements.'

Scope, what value were you able to set?  Can it be in the hundreds of watts?

I let it auto detect and it came up with 2W. I use it because Zero recommended not leaving it plugged in after a complete charge.

I use a WeMo Insight switch with an IFFF rule to shut off power once consumption drops below threshold.

Or sell it here, I got rid of mine at the forum.

How much did you list it for and what was final offer price? If you don't mind sharing.

Hello everyone,

I took delivery of my 2013 FX last night around 6:30. Looks pretty good but I do have a few things to look at a couple small repairs. A few questions to start... This is my first bike and experience with Zero so I am a new with this.


1. When moving at slow speed, I can hear something on each revolution. I don't know if this is related to the tires or the electric motor. It sounds like what I would expect brake pads rubbing would sounds like as it picks up when speed increases. After around 20 mph+ the sound seems to go away completely so I was starting to think this may be related to the motor and normal, but it could be wind noise drowning it out or just going too fast to pick up each revolution. When rolling the bike while turned off, I put my ear next to each wheel but couldn't hear anything rubbing. When pushing it, it seems quiet. Is this normal?

2. What PSI do you guys recommend for the tires? I noticed the front tire was definitely a little low.

3. Brake light assembly was busted including the reflector inside. Any insight on where to get this replacement part?

4. Front suspension when pushed down sounds like something is making contact. Making a little noise. I feel like something may just be in the way somewhere and two things are just hitting each other but I haven't found it yet. Does this experience ring a bell with anyone?

5. The seller forgot to send the charge plug and is looking for it to send to me. It arrived with 1/2 charge and I rode it around for around 25 minutes to get the hang of it. In case they don;t come up with the charger, can you advise where I might find one that is compatible. I have a zero dealer a couple hours away.


That is all for now, thanks for any insight.

Alex

Someone previously mentioned www.monoprice.com on this forum and I had great luck getting extra power cables in various lengths there, for cheap prices!

A train horn makes people look (again, if not the first time). That's half the battle. I've had drivers drop their coffee, cell phones, and change-lane intentions with a crack of the horn.

The two wide tabs attach to the back of the license plate support, using the bolts that go through the top holes of the plate. For the holes on the opposite side, there are two phillips head screws under the tail. Remove those - you are then going to put the white spacers in the kit in the holes and, using the supplied long screws, secure the rain guard. I added washers to the underside of the rain guard before inserting the screws. If you don't have the reflector assembly off yet, as you might have guessed you have to rip off the back reflector to get to the three screws holding the old part. You reuse those screws. It took me about a day to figure out which end was which and I think less than an hour to have everything done and cleaned up.

"Thank you" (Mahalo) to you and BrianTRice for the help.  Got it installed this weekend along with changing out the temp tag for a Hawaiian license plate and associated motorcycle safety inspection sticker plate.  Now, to wait 60-90 days for my custom tag: 1FUNEV!
