2016 DSR, 21,600 mi

Had dealer do first 2 service intervals, so if I'm following the manual correctly, I haven't had done motor recommissioning done since 600mi service. The bike has been extremely reliable.

I continue to wonder why "commissioning" was never mentioned before the IPM motor was introduced (in 2017?)? Neither the owner's manual for my 2012 S or my 2014 S said anything about needing "commissioning" at any time during the life of the bike. It was only when I bought my 2018 S, with its IPM motor, that commissioning reared its confusing head.

I was told to do this stuff, they have to log on to the Zero Dealer-only Website and it must be done while Zero is Scott's Valley is open, as some  of this is done from Zero after they are connected up to my bike. And from there, they get my latest FW updates and do the motor commissioning for my bike.

Um, isn't that sort of a REALLY BIG PROBLEM for those who live in other time zones? Europe, Asia, etc, etc?

Just -- wow!

(Others may have commented on this ... I'm working my way through this thread ...)

And I think Zero SHOULD be forced, by law, to offer all repair tools to any interested parties.

I think Zero SHOULD be forced, by law, to provide us with unicorns. For a nominal fee, of course.

Europe has their own support office. Between them and the US one, I don't think there are any significant gaps

My dealer talked to Zero about recommissioned the motor. He was somewhat surprised that Zero indeed recommends to do it, but he (and all other Dealers in Switerland) never got told und trained to do it. Thats strange... He also told me, that in the "near" future, Zero will have altered their Firmwareupdate at the dealer in a way, that automatically should recommission the motor, without having the dealer know mutch about the process or even call Zero for assistance. Maybe they are planning that step for a while and won't train the dealers because it will be obsolete, but thats jus guessing...
