Unlock a XU ''LSM''
« on: April 07, 2013, 09:09:45 PM »

Hi Guys,
I can have a good deal on a new, demo, 2012 XU LSM and it look like they are ''Locked'' to 70 kmh (45 mph..) here in Canada :(
I'm sure there is an easy way to unlock this without to change anything ''Mechanic'' ?
Do you know something who may help me ?
Thanks in advance !

Probably a main bike board setting. Any Zero dealer should be able to help you out.

Thanks for the response... But I doubt they will want to do it .. its a Law here probably .. :(
Thats why I would try to it by myself so if I sell it later, I'll be able to unapply the modification

*sorry for my bad english..
Thanks again

I can do it with the 2011, very easy with the alltrax controller or 2011 MBB,

Maybe you could ask to electric cowboy for the 2012 MBB hack ;)

the 2012 need an expensive program to be ''Unlock'' the 2011 is more easy, but less mileage and power (in what I did understand)

I have the 2011 xu-lsm i want to unlock it or re-flash to more power, nothing crazy, just would like to get the regular xu speed out of her. I have RS to USB adapter and are familiar with flashing ardiuno boards but could use some pointer on where and how we connect, load procedures/software required.

Thanks Jerry

Jerry, what top speed you get from your 2011XU? I also have a 2011 XU, registered as LSM, but the dealer told me it is not restricted. I got 85kph top.

I contacted Zero tonight they said they could un lock the LSM, I may just may have send them my MBB for reprogramming. Sign a release for the modification.

My dealer told me they are able to remove the 70km restriction but then it would no longer legally be a LSM anymore and a motor cycle licence would be required.

I can get to 80+ kmh when I need to though

I have my bike licence, I never wanted the LSM model but the price was right  $4200 with 20 mile on her. My insurance company wont insure the LSM model but the will insure the straight UX.

I had no issue with insurance for my LSM in Alberta.
To unlock the LSM limit the deal would charge me $400

In Nova Scotia there is no limited motorcycle drivers licence. There for you need full licence no need for a LSM. Sent my board back to Zero they did for free. just had pay for the freight.
