Was over at Daytona yesterday and took a full charge on the charge tank across the street from the track. When done, I rode across the street, shut down and took in the vendors and displays for half an hour. When I turned key to leave the charge light started blinking and stayed on. Bike wouldn't run. I started to research on phone if anyone had similar issue and couldn't find anything. I was hoping for an easy way to reboot. Luckily, after about 20 minutes the light finally went out and bike (21 S), ran normally. My thought is that surface voltage was high and OBC thought it was plugged in for a charging attempt. Ran it quite a bit afterwards and recharged again with no further issues. Are there any simple ways to reboot system? thx

I have had a somewhat similar issue since day one in November 2018. On my Zero the green charging light stays on (a steady green) after the charger shuts down. Disconnecting the power cord will not turn the light off, even after a couple of days. The only way I can get it to turn off is to turn the ignition on and then off again and then it goes out as it should. I complained to my dealer at the 600-mile servicing, but they had no idea what to do about the light. So I just live with it. However, if I disconnect the power cord within 10 minutes of the end of the charging cycle, and the green light going steady, it will shut off as it should. Since there are no other problems with my Zero S with PT, I am not too concerned about the issue. It is just a little irritating. Apparently just a feature of my model.

Thx, good to know problem is not chronic. Only diff was that I tried turning key on/off several times and green light wouldn't go out. Initially it kept blinking green and then went to steady green. Haven't had it happen since.

The other solution is what another owner dubbed the, "roll forward trick". His bike would get stuck in charge mode often but he found that, with the bike keyed on and kickstand up, if he just rolled forward a full rotation or so the bike would go back into run mode.

Tricky.
