I have the same issue. I specifically ordered the bike without keyless ignition but it came with it anyway. Key not in range a lot with it in my pocket. Can't start bike sitting with it in my pocket. Changed batteries with no effect. Annoying that I have to hold the fob close to the front of the bike and wait forever holding down the button. Why couldn't it just come with a regular key?? As for the "3kW" charger, even with the battery temperature green at 240Vac and mid level charge (50%) it often times only does 2kW. Very annoying when trying to charge during a trip waiting next to the charge station. 3kW is a joke and 2kW effective sucks. DC fast charge is great but there aren't any around for the most part.

Love the Energica overall, but it is way too loud. Used to be able to use the Sena for phone calls with the Zero with no background noise. People complain about the noise now.

Thanks for the information Auriga, that is very helpful!!

It is a tax holiday here in MA so I'm thinking about buying all three today just in case. Since the battery is still under warranty, do you know if that includes the BMS? I would think it would include that. The dealer is open until 3pm here so I need to make a decision quickly. Hmm

The voltage was about 110V.

I have a USB / UART serial cable for connection to MBB but of course that requires a working MBB.

I do have a CAN bus adapter but have not used it with anything yet. I am assuming that the battery only communicates over CAN. Is there information on how to read the BMS? Register map? Or is there a console available somehow?

Going to try powering up the DC/DC from a separate fused external power supply next. Wish I had my bench power supplies from my electronics lab here at home... Time to move the rest of the "home office" / workshop / lab back to my house.

The BMS lights are out again. If I press the software reset button they come back with the right #4 one blinking green like all is normal. Weird.

Yes, I checked the voltage at the MBB connector with everything else unplugged too. Then I noticed that the 4A MBB fuse was blown, probably the reason for no voltage. I don't know why that fuse would be so big. Any idea? What else is it powering other than the computer? Can't imagine the MBB requiring 300+ watts. It would melt. I could try putting another fuse in and with everything disconnected check for voltage. Maybe that would rule out the battery?

I tried a new 3.1A fuse with everything disconnected except for the DC/DC converter and it blew. That's what I meant to say.

I can check the DC/DC converter using a fused external DC power supply. That would be completely independent of anything on the bike. Now that I think about it, it may make sense that the DC/DC enable line needs a delay before bringing it high to avoid inrush? Hmm, that doesn't really make sense though. I can try it when hooked up to an external DC power supply.

Thanks TEV. I assumed that my signature would give the information. DSR 2016

Thanks!!

I pulled out the 3.1A fuse on the battery, the 4A fuse for MBB, the 1A fuse for I don't know what, and all the 12V fuses. Removed the DC/DC converter connector from it. Now the 3.1A fuse holds with both the 4A MBB fuse and the 1A fuse installed. Battery 4th LED blinking normally. Seems like the DC/DC may have fried or maybe the MBB. There is battery voltage on the DC/DC converter connector as measured when unplugged. Looks like a bear to get the DC/DC converter out. I installed the 2.5kW charge tank back in 2016 so that is in the way too. Next I think I will plug the DC/DC converter back in and test for 12V at the fuse block.

Interesting that the 1.3kW charger fried a couple of week ago and now these other problems have happened. Hopefully the MBB is OK!!

Let me know if you have any more ideas on this.

Thanks!!
