Harley LiveWire Forum / Livewire owners thread
« on: December 13, 2019, 07:27:48 AM »
Ok, I live in the Milwaukee area.  So I am partial to Harley.  My Livewire is my 4th electric 2 wheeler. I have 1400 miles on it now.  3500 miles on my SR/F.  I like ccs charging.  I like level 2 charging.  It would be nice to have them both in one bike.  I still need to ride the Livewire down to 0 soc.  The Livewire still has close to full power below 10 soc.  They both handle great.  I like the regen on the Livewire.  Progressive is a lot nicer than off or on.  They get about the same range.  They are set up the same.  Both have Zero touring windshield.  Tour pak on the back.  Electric grips. And heat controllers for my electric gear. 

Now for a little Harley bashing.  In order to setup the Livewire I had to do it myself.  We live in Wisconsin, weather changes in a second.  Tour packs are a necessity.  So is heated gear.  Lately Harley has just been building bar hoppers.

Also because of the cold both bikes should have 12 volt lead acid batteries like BMW scooters.

Having a heated garage is a good thing to have with ev’s.

More later

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / SR/F heated gear hookup

 :). It finally got below freezing in the Milwaukee Area.  I had my jacket hooked to the front accessory plug.

When I tried to also power heated pants and gloves, the bike cut the power to the accessory plug.  With the jacket and pants it was ok except the voltage at the 12 volt battery would drop from 13.2 to 12.8.

Today while watching it snow, I found a different power source.  Just in front of the storage area, and just behind the front accessory plug, are a pair of heavy gage wires.  They are on a plug that plugs into the box in front of the storage area.  Blue is positive, black negative.

I hooked my heated gear up to them. Works great. Battery voltage does not drop.

The new power source switches on with the click when the ignition switch is turned on.  And off 10 to 15 seconds after turned off.
