Title: Should I update to v19?
Post by: gstrub on July 03, 2021, 11:58:19 PM: My bike is running fine on v17. No magic charging, although I expected longer ranges (SRF getting 80 miles going 70, 100 miles going 40-50).

Any upside in updating? I am going to dealer this weekend for 4K service, do I tell them not to update it?

Thanks,
G

I did do the update and i have not seen any major issues or behavior changes on the bike. For your range, it seems to go with what Zero officially claims (82 miles at 70mph).

So i would say that you stick to V17 for now :)

Post by: Hans2183 on July 06, 2021, 07:16:04 PM: indeed I was on v17 for a long time as a happy user. Suddenly forced upon v19 (luckily not v18). Had no range issues but that update did break most of my remote connectivity feature. The SOC has changed since the update and also charge state flags are gone. The GPS location still works. From time to time I get a notification on the phone from the bike but also not all of them are working.

So if that connectivity is important to you just wait for v20.

I keep postponing it but how do you know what version they are trying to install. There is literally no info in the message. When I hook up the app on the phone it doesn't show that there are any updates available.

TIA

That's about what I get for range on my SRF. I'm holding on V17 given the issues many have had with V19.
