I picked up my 2020 SR/S today !!! I couldn’t get a ride and Uber wanted $80 to get me to the dealership. I rented a motorcycle trailer from Uhaul. The first ride was amazing. I’m one of those people that keeps my motorcycle in my living room. It really adds to the room.

Welcome Craig!

Make sure you don't crush your carpet ^-^

Here's a picture from the morning after a party I had.  This was on the fourth floor of the San Jose Marriott.

Hi, Arnoud here. I bought my used Zero S 14.4 last week and it’s a great ride! Already mounted two cameras and a dvr and will be installing some additional gadgets along the way. This forum looks like a great source of information and I look forward to visit here often.

I was once at a party where we drove a V-Max into the living room and did a burnout on the carpet ... happy days.

That must have been really tough on the poor carpet.  ;D

Hi everyone, I am the proud new owner of a 2020 Zero SR. It was a demo model and came with a Charge Tank which was awesome because I wanted a Charge Tank anyway. This forum and the Unofficial Zero Manual have been extremely helpful to me as I get started and I can't thank you all enough. Every day I learn something new.

Two weeks ago I picked up my new Zero SR/S.  Had not planned on buying an electric bike and was trying to get a Honda NC750X DCT because I am having left hand complications and it was becoming difficult to use a clutch on my then current bikes, - 5 of them.  Long story short, Honda dealer could not find me a bike and I then stumbled on on Zero bikes by accident.  Problem solved!  One test ride and a dealer that would take a couple of my old ones in a fair trade made the deal happen. Cost more but I am very happy with my new bike.  All five of my old found new homes. Going to save a lot of time and money on maintenance, - more time to ride.  I ride three to four times a week for 60 or less miles each time so electric is perfect for me.

Hello all!
I'm french rider, and I'm owner of a white ZERO S 2014 for three years.
I'm looking for information about Fork seal replacement, and especially about oil height to fill.
Anyone know where I can find this infortmation? And all advices to dissasemble the seals?

Another question : there is a possibility to use clear background on this forum? It is very hard for my weak eyes...
The only one solution I found today is to use the "reader" tools of FireFox...

Thank you!

Nice!

About forks... I just have the dealer do it, but there's an entry on the unofficial manual https://zeromanual.com/wiki/Fork_Oil_Change_and_Spring_Replacement
And I think someone did a video?

Hello,

thank you for this quick answer.
I noticed this advice "Measure from outer tube end to oil surface (Condition: spring, spring joint, spring collar, seat rubber, slider, fork bolt are removed and dust seal touches axle holder)"

I will do it on the leg without any linkeage, but, since this fork seems to have already dismantled - and a nut damaged, the one hidden by the spring  :( - I would like too to have the official information.
But ok, it seems it's preferable to put less oil than too!

I will write a dedicated topic, since I didn't find the answer.

Vincent.

Greetings from Northern Virginia!

Bought a new 2021 SR/S yesterday from Motorcycles of Dulles (Sterling VA), my first EV, and second motorcycle since I sold my Harley Ultra almost 15 years ago.  Now I'm waiting for the Rapid Charger and LED turn signals to come in before I take delivery, which should be about two weeks from now.

I have one early question: The bike gets me $2.5k off my taxes next year, and so should the rapid charger...how did that process go for the rest of you when you filed?

For me, it was simple. I filed on https://www.freetaxusa.com/ and got to the point where it asked me if I purchased an electric motorcycle and home charger.

Greetings All!
I already feel outnumbered but that should be ok. 
I just traded an old Mercedes car for a Harley Livewire!   I test rode one a couple months ago along with a Zero and liked the price of the Zero better but the local Harley dealership was willing to trade for the car, the Zero guy didn’t reply to my email inquiry.  I would have taken either bike but the Livewire fits me very well and I seem to smile the entire time I ride it!

I’ll have lots of questions about charging batteries in the near future.  Seems like most everyplace around me is a Level 1 or a Tesla. 
For now I just wanted to say Hi.
