Hey everybody.

My 2011 Zero XU is giving me some trouble. When I fold the kickstand up it starts to make noise / vibrate  kinda in a pulsing feel. I can't operate it, won't take throttle. Any ideas?

[Drfeelgood]

Error code is throttle is on or disconnected. I greased contacts, took it apart can't see anything alarming.

Did you check the throttle electrically? Like the potentiometer basic resistance checks through the twist range. It might have failed electrically.

Thanks for the help! I took the magura throttle housing apart and messed with it. Symptoms went away, error code stopped flashing but not working...

Okay. Do check Harlan's reassembly video linked from that Wiki section in case that helps.

Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem myself.

[Drfeelgood]

Noise stopped issues stopped after throttle removed. I assume there related.

Biggest issue now is mating my domino with the zero.
Zero has wires as follows wires are white with different color stripes

Orange
Green
Green
Blue

Domino is
White - ground
Brown - signal
Blue - positive
Green
Green


The stock Magura throttle I removed only had two wires Brown and Black. They were connected to the last two wires on the Zero, Green and Blue. I'm not sure which to which. Or even if this throttle worked on the bike as I bought it non running.

The real question is what do I pair up with the zeros four wires to the dominos three?
I've tried multiple combinations. Was able to remove error codes and get the screen to work but still not working. Anyone have the solution?

Check the 2013 Zero wiring diagram per Burton. It's on the forum and the wiki. It might help.

I have found that no matter what throttle you use on the 2011 zero xu, the mbb will usually always fail eventually. I had best luck by purchasing a programmable Alltrax controller and rewiring the entire system totally eliminating the stock mbb, and dash speedo/battery meter. I only use the bms for charging and bought a cycle analyst to do the rest of the work. Works great now with no surprise shut offs during rides, which was a common problem with the 2011 zero xu mbb. Look up "the Glitch"
