Why not just swap out the stock flasher for a solid state (electronic) type?
You may have to swap the bikes flasher relay socket wires or source the oddball relay as in my case, Zero used an oddball relay pin arrangement.

Hello,
i know that my bike should have CF14 type flasher.
I recently bought a LED turn signals kit with an animation.
I've tried them using no resistance and also different advised resistances with different ohm but results is similar: animation is not completed and besides that, resistances get very hot.

so I've thought about bypassing CF14 flasher: if no flasher, then LED animation will complete and restart again. The only issue will be no flashing on dashboard (no issue to me).

before starting removing seat, tank etc.. i'd be sure on how to proceed to not mess up anything so i come here to ask if someone else did the same or, better, if there's any guide about it. From a brief search to Unofficial Zero Manual, there's any row about it

The BCB refers to the 17.3 packs. It stands for Bilateral Cell Box referencing the design and layout of the cells at 28S2P using Farasis P73 cells. The HCM, which may be a made up name I don't know, refers to the 14.4 and older style packs that use 28S4P arrangement with the 32Ah cells. I no longer have any battery contacts at Zero so I can't get answers to these sorts of questions anymore.

Ya gotta work with what you have.  I do NOT plan on dying healthy, nor do I intend on dying, laying in a bed whimpering and withering away.  I want to have as much fan as possible, even if it's painful the next day.      The only thing that will stop me is if for some reason I become dangerous to those around me.  If I end up killing myself, oh well but if I get so decrepit that am starting to be a major danger to other around me, then it's over.  Otherwise,  game on !!

When Im in my 80s and still racing, Ill see if I can get Geritol and Depends to sponsor me!  Maybe they'll have a league and we can race our rasquals around the lunch room

@JJ: Good idea, but:
https://www.energicamotor.com/en/warranty:
>>... Otherwise, It can only be activated within the first 12 months from the date of first registration. ...<<

Im in 36th month from registration... 

That was the total time from taking the bike in to getting it returned, so it included scheduling in the swap (which is quite a big job). The actual battery was almost immediately sourced - however it took several more weeks to get ahold of some of the wiring harness gubbins that are associated with the new pack. See how long it takes to get a pack replaced on any other EV ... I think they did reasonably well myself!

I wasn't too bothered at the time as I had another bike to use.

Energica's two-year warranty extension offer is only valid until May 31st. Cost are 1095 € plus VAT.
Battery must still be within the original 3 years warranty.

I believe there's now an extended warranty to 5 years for Energicas as well which puts it on a par with Zero. I admit that was actually a critical factor in thinking "no" when I had the opportunity a couple of years ago before they had the 5 year warranty.

btw my experience with Zero and batteries has been good - exhibited magic charging after 2 years, took it to dealer, pulled the logs, agreed, battery replaced within 3 months no questions asked. And the new battery is excellent - I easily get 125 miles out of it.

You are right, Energica offers a two year warranty extension but just until May 31st.

Zero took 3 MONTHS to supply a battery? Sorry, but in my view that is totally inacceptable.

That Facebook post is pretty interesting, the charge curve looks identical to my experience.   I can't help but feel that Zero have put a fixed charge profile into the Firmware - hopefully in an abundance of caution but if the BCB packs are "better" (presumably) than HCM then why on earth are they risking revolt from Charge Tank owners?!?   

Pete - I had my Cellular module stop working, the dealer replaced it under warranty, which took several attempts as they didn't know what they were doing, apparently had to be coded to bike and coordinated with Zero.  When it was replaced it worked for 1 day, then stopped again.   I took it out myself, took the SIM out and cleaned the contacts, put it back together and voila!  It started working again.  Have you tried disconnecting it and taking the SIM out for a clean?
