I am trying to figure out how to solve things with my 2013 MX to be able to use the original controller and whole system. I am running only one BMS, and I think the errors I am getting are somewhat consistent with the need for a Loopback Blanking Plug.

I only just became aware of the existence of the Loopback Blanking Plug, and would like to figure out which pins are jumped with it and do so, so I hope someone has the device and can figure it out for me. Thank you.

It's starting to feel like the bike may end up loosing a lot of weight with a 72V system and BAC8000 that could make it plenty powerful as a trail bike for Washington State ORV land (especially Walker Valley) that it will be, but I'm still holding out hope that I may be able to get it solved and try the bike as built by Zero

Your question made me curious so I did a little digging, and came up pretty much completely empty. Found a few old threads on various forums that reference the part and that you can purchase it. Yet I can't find a photo of the thing nor any information about what pins it jumps.

I did find mention there is a setting in the MBB that would also correct the issue. Only problem is changes can only be made by a dealer.

OK, so in order to run the bike without the PT, do I need the blanking plug, then also need to change the MBB setting?

In this case it would be an or. So either the blanking plug or that MBB setting. I've never heard of that setting before, so I can't help you there.

Unless you know the MBB login codes. There are 3 access levels which they changed in.. 2018? Try thomasaanderson or variants thereof. Others included things like 1.21gigawatts but I honestly can't remember if there's supposed to be spacing or not.

edit- I looked it up.
Level 1 is 1.21gigawatts
Level 2 is wideopenthrottle
Level 3 is thomasaanderson

2013 xu I have, does not need a blanking plug. I do not have one in mine right now. Runs fine .
I believe 2013 is unique is this.

I'm interested in the charger set up for the 2013 MX. I don't know if my onboard charger is missing on this bike or if there wasn't one. Looking at the owner's manual shared with your model and mine in 2013, they seem to make some distinctions about the MX setup that is different from the others, but it isn't clear to me.

Here are the settings level 3 access offers for the mbb, it isn't very obvious if it's there, but if anyone has ideas...

here are the CANbus stats from the MMB. There is an error on startup CAN1 bit0 error

I don't think this is the answer to my issue any more, but here are images someone shared with me so if someone is searching Loopback it's here.
