I can't seem to figure this out.  I'd like the bike to charge only after 9pm, or before 2pm.  The info on this screen makes it seem like I've done it right, but the bike still charges during that time, as you can see below, but only sometimes.  Another time it asked me if I wanted to bypass the schedule.  So clearly I'm not understanding something, and it's probably that plug-in window.  I don't know what it means, and the on-screen info doesn't tell me.  Should I make my plug-in window match the active charging time?

Change the start time to 9PM?
If I could see mine I could be sure to give a correct answer but I wont be at the bike for another hour or so... I will look then when I can connect via bluetooth.

OK Im back.
It looks like the way you have it set up, this scheme will only take effect for plug ins that occur from 2pm to 9pm.
So if you connect any other time, it will ignore this, I think. Set the plug in window for as close to 24 hours as possible, and leave the active charging time as is. That's correct.
Also make sure on the motorcycle's on board display that it has the correct time and date.

Oh, great idea. I’ll try that, thanks.

I forgot to confirm that making the window 24 hours does indeed give the expected behavior of charging overnight.  Now I wish I could understand the use and purpose of the plugin window to begin with.

I wanted to also comment on some other unexpected behavior.  If you override the schedule when you plug in during the "off" hours, then it charges to 100%. I guess the "override" option on the dash just bypasses all limits.  This is different from the Tesla where if you tell it to charge during the off hours, it charges to the set limit.

I like the override as it is. Imagine you are somewhere, need to charge NOW, and don't have your phone to adjust some settings, or its dead.The override gives you a kind of abort button: forget all that...just charge!

The window feature is nice, it allows to have the delay only at certain times. I use it, and it's set to only delay during the times I park at work and plug it in.

Unless Zero has meanwhile fixed that through a firmware update, be aware that scheduled charging will also stop an ongoing charging session.
I reported the details here: https://www.electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=12661.msg120247#msg120247

LOL, a dead phone on a motorcycle that's basically a big battery with USB ports.  That's funny.  But anyway, you can set limits via the menu without the phone.  In fact you can't set the 110% charge on the phone, only the bike itself.
