Le Z Turbo

Your Dealer can update your bike!

If there is a necessary update you get an e-mail from Zero, your dealer and my experience was I got the information some days before here in the forum ;)

Speaking of customer service, check out this long article by Tim Watson, a Ride Apart journalist.  He is not happy with H-D's attitude toward their customers:

A tech from Zero flew down and installed a new contactor and updated the software to prevent it from happening again. Pheonimal service but IMO it still would have been better to do more testing before releasing the bikes to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the first place. I have a feeling the 2014 bikes will be more reliable.

I just turned 1600 miles and no issues. How many miles on your bike, Dan?

I'm up to 2,300. I think it's also worth mentioning that I rode a 2012 ds for 2,000 miles without issue.
