Small update to this if it helps at all, upon close inspection I also noticed that my break pads seem to be a lot thinner on the front even though it has only been 1000 miles. Would almost gone break pads lead to the reservoir being full?

Hello! I ended up buying a 2021 Zero S and it has been great for the whole season until this week.
This week however I noticed the front brake reservoir is now fully filled when it was not before and the front brakes are partially engaged. I tested this by riding for a little bit and not using the front brake at all and they still got pretty warm and there is a light squeak if I walk the bike of something catching.
Looking at the Zero manual it says I can't do a break bleed unless there is fluid in the Hydraulic Control Unit and I am not to sure how to even check that.
What would you guys recommend my next steps be? The dealer is pretty far away so if this is something I can troubleshoot at home I would like to.
Please use small words
my Motorcycle/mechanical knowledge is pretty low but I am trying to learn!

Hello Everyone,
On 10/23 I put my deposit down on a brand new Zero S 2021, it was supposed to be delivered on 10/27 however when the dealer put the fuse in to start the PDI it would not take a charge. Zero had them send over the BMS after some troubleshooting and determined a new battery was needed and is now working on getting one shipped to North East Ohio where I live. I am a little disappointed that a brand new bike has been in the shop for almost two weeks already and I haven't even been able to use it a single day but I suppose it could happen with any vehicle, electric or otherwise.
My dealer tells me that Zero may take a while to ship the battery as they can't just send it UPS because its Lithium ION and needs some kind of special transportation? My question is: If this repair drags on too much longer its going to be too cold in Ohio for me to be able to ride the bike to drop the SOC to the 60% Zero recommends for winter storage. Is there a way to drop the charge without having to ride it in freezing weather?
P.S. Yes, I know people ride in the winter, I don't have any interest in winter riding and also don't have winter riding gear and don't really want to buy it solely so I can get the motorcycle down to an acceptable level to go into storage.
