I don't think you see what you think you see. They were running a home built pack ~150V with a high voltage sevcon gen4.

I stand corrected.

No its a longer brick Ive seen one at refuel; the fx platform only needs a tiny kick in the pants to be an amazing bike (for myself who has a power/throttle addiction just on the acceleration), maybe this will help close this gap, heck a little extra range never hurts

Unfortunately, in the past Zero has made it pretty clear they don't want to go to a higher voltage.  So unless they have had a change of heart I doubt we would see this improvement directly from Zero for a factory bike.

We both stand corrected on that bike, but I know what I saw at refuel, if were lucky maybe it will make it to all the bikes soon



You can gain with the battery without going to higher voltage

Did nobody notice?


Seen them at refuel
Seen it in a pphc bike that placed second

Pics are on the zero fb site.... Figured you all would be stirring the pot with this upgrade.... Wow im jealous if I only had two of thoes big fuckers i could easily make my next project

Talking about this bike?



Lots of changes on the bike.. not sure which "big fucker" you're referring to. Different wheels and brakes, steering damper, chain, rearsets..

Looks longer than usual,

there are 2 modules in every other fx ive seen
Besides one at refuel

The 2010s can be a pain in the but
Message me if you want some help if yu buy it;
You can always bypass most of the controls (remove the mbb and wire around it) and run the bike using just altrax like the electricrosses this works but will be quite "jerky" comparted to the new bikes and the mmb controlled version on low it will actually be a fun little pit bike



On high watch out its literally a death machine set off by the littlest throttle movement

Once the bypass is done in high the Throttle reasponce goes

Nothing
Everything
Tiny bit more
No matter how much you really move the throttle

This sounds like same dude selling them in la gor a freaking outrageous amount.... DeltaQs arnt worth more than 400 used MAX

I think he wanted 450 each or more.  Nuts


Edit; found the link i stand corrected he lowered the price (if it is indeed him)

  Thanks for all the advice.  It gives me some things to look for when I go do a demo ride (I currently live close to the Zero factory), and as my daughter does her Intro to Dirt class.  How much louder is the bike with the chain conversion?  I have demo'd the S and SR, and really liked the stealth aspect.
  My current commute is 90 miles round trip on an SV650, mostly freeway, but my new commute will be 20-30 miles round trip with less freeway.  I've never ridden a dirt bike on the street, so I'm pretty naive in that aspect.  In what ways would an FX make the commute "suck" aside from tire wear?  I don't anticipate going any faster than cars since I'll be in state with no lane splitting and wouldn't be going out to ride the twisties.  I wouldn't have engine vibes from a single cylinder ICE bike.

Where do you live now? Im in santa cruz and have give you an instant comparison fx belt vs chain if you would like... Pm me

I wonder if they store hand cranks to pump their gasoline....

Well of course they do!!! I mean doesnt everyone have a hand pump for when the power goes out



God damn man that was a great responce I laughed even harder than before!!!

Dual sports dont suck, they do have their moments when they shine, very wet paved roads, hard packed gravel fire roads


Yes street tires will handle better in the street and dirt will handle better on the dirt

Tou have to admit on the right bike such as the fx they can be pretty fun, ive done my fair share of street and off road riding in the fx wheels


I liked them for
- higher top speed than s wheels
- predictable sliding on both on and off road
Happy medium compared to completely one or the other

S tires are going to suck in the dirt way more than the dual sports, at least with the dual sports the front tire wont wash out as much

The encoder is all software related so you can log in and fuck your shit up.... This is why there are so many versions of the dongle

Basic
 dealer level logins
Hi level some code writing
Full access


(Just like toyota you can pay enough and get the login and dongle), some on here have a dongle and password, a few have a few different levels. But that still is not the dcf....


If you were to go through with an encoder setup and didnt know what you were doing or sidnt have full access you would brick your bike.... How does giving people access to that help zero, it ONLY gives them more issues....



If someone came on here and was like hey i have a fx it started acting funny wont charge and accelerates very slowly, then upon turning it off and then
on nothing.... Some can easily go through a list of things to do,

Depending on error code if any....


Check the sand filled fuses,
Probe the terminals on the battery to check fet


If specific problems were brought up they would and mostly do get answers, if your just probing for fun then why would they let you in.....

The basic owners manual does exist.  :p
