Title: 2012 ds BMS replacement *fixed*
Post by: gwong on December 06, 2016, 08:57:40 AM: Hello forum, I have acquired a 2012 DS with the 2-4 code flashing. no throttle response but good battery.. I live in Hawaii ,so no dealership or service here . The factory has told me that they would replace the BMS provided I get the bike to them ::).. That's not happening,lol . I guess my questions would be, is it an easy swap out ? (new board shipped to me would be $1200) Is there any way to upgrade to 2013 or better ? any insights would be appreciated. I am a mechanic and own a shop but I'm no electrical engineer. Perhaps any clues as to finding a cheaper used BMS. Mahalo

with Zero and have any parts drop shipped to you. For updating to newer, it would be doable, but, probably not economically feasible. Check with
Doc Bass, I believe that he has a 2012 that is pretty much updated to 2013. I believe that he has also deleted the MBB, but, it is only for drag
racing, so not sure how well that would work for you.
