Greetings,

Just a quick update that I have had no problems with the FXE since that firmware update in Jan'23.  Can report fixed!

Greetings,
Yes, I just saw that also and it reminded me to check this forum.   Have a 2022 FXE that had problems (reported here) which were fixed with firmware update.  I will check and update that thread.

Is there a DYI method to update firmware for the cypher II ?   I would rather not have to take bike to dealer for that.  I see "firmware update" in the zero app... it doesnt work, but thought that maybe someone here knows how.

Thx!

Riding more frequently and no problems.  So I think that firmware upgrade got it.  (fingers crossed).

Probably need to figure out firmware update myself... as the dealer knew less about the issue than I did.   Any hints on that?  When I have looked on the app, the firmware upgrade feature didnt want to work.   Will chase in the future.

I see SHAG hasnt posted about the issue in a while.  Hopefully the firmware fix worked for him.

Update on this from my end.  Finally got the FXE into dealer (~beginning of Jan).  Pulled bike off of trailer and it had the issue (battery at 0% and error codes as discussed above).   Two weeks later I picked up... Mechanic didnt acknowledge specific problem (maybe it didnt happen for him), but he did upgrade firmware.  I am hopeful that did it, as several has reported here.  Only rode a couple of times since then, so not yet sure.   I think I will have to figure out the firmware update myself and try to keep on top of that.    Will see over next weeks if issue solved.

Thanks for the fast reply.  I tried resetting the BMS by holding down the buttons under the seat and it was a no go.  Luckily the dealer is just down the street from my work and they diagnosed it today as a bad BMS board.  It reset itself this morning as others said it might and he confirmed with Zero the board was bad.  Replacement is being ordered.  Appreciate all the help here.  Hopefully it'll be up an running again soon.

Update... Next day after no-start #3, all is fine.  Rode today, no problems.
Thanks for info SHAG...

I did go back and look thru this thread and see this post from WeGo4x4 who had a bad BMS board and it was replaced.   I dont see later post by him.  Did it fix problem?

... and #3 occurrence for me this am.   grrrr.

I am waiting for someone to say... I took it to dealer, they said" "yeah it some faulty firmware/part... swapped it out and you should be good to go" 
Anyone... ?

I am ~1hr from dealer and putting off the hassle and,  ideally, I hear the statement above and not... "been to dealer 5 times and still not fixed... "

No-go #2 for me this am.   Same error codes as before.  Plugged in, and went to work.  Tried this evening, no luck.
I am just waiting until riding weather stops, then will take to dealer.  Hopefully they can fix the firmware and/or swap out the right parts. 

Anyone hear any rumors about what this issue is? 

Other than that (the no-go that is), great bike.

I finally spent a little time on the FXE rack.
The rack is at:
https://www.filipacchi.com/products/zero-fx-top-box-rack-kit
(as well as other places, with part number mentioned above). 

I finally got some time to get it on there and add my own finely-fabricated custom platform to strap my computer bag on the rack.  Also, mounted a helmet lock (from revzilla).   

Attached a pic.

4300 miles! You ride quite a bit more than I.   I continue to have no more problems since 1 problem ~1month ago.   I just ride few miles around town though.  Total miles ~500 as of now.

One other thing that might matter for people thinking to purchase a Zero... or electric moto in general.  I did get 10% rebate of purchase price on 2021 taxes.  Guessing that will be same for 2022.  (It would have been 30% if BBB act passed, is my understanding).

Update on my Zero FXE problems:  None since the no-go issue ~1 week ago... and I have turned on-off ~10 times since then, charged twice.

I agree with SHAG that it is a great bike (other than recent no-start issue).   I had a 250 Yamaha WRX (supermoto type) and and don't miss it with this bike.  Low speed torque is amazing and 0-60 is comparable to my 1199 Panigale.  I just ride it around town for commuting and it is perfect for that.  Range is ~50miles the way I ride it, but doesnt matter for 5-10 miles commute.

Would be good to hear if Zero has figured out it is a specific part causing the problems, such that if I take it in, they upgrade firmware, swap out a board or some such. I am worried I take  it in and dealer says "we dont see anything wrong - bring it back when you have a problem again" (and repeat).

Thanks for reply. 
btw error code 45 is kickstand disable, so not really an error.
Rode around the neighborhood this evening and all ok.  Might try to commute as usual tomorrow (not a long commute, so not a huge risk).

I see below that Zero asked you to contact them, did you?
 
I downloaded the error log so can provide that if they can diagnose.  Maybe just a firmware error and that can help?

Will let you know.

After reading this thread again, I went to garage to try zero FXE again.  Powered up, showed error code 45 for a second, cleared then turned on.  So looks like same behavior as SHAG (and some others) above. 
Great,  60 miles from dealer and an *intermittent* problem.   I can see taking it to them, and it works fine there.
Grrrr.
Would be nice to know if Zero has found a bad board and it could just be replaced.   Maybe not that simple.

Joining the FXE problem club. 
Purchased new FXE in Dec 2021.  Now have about 400miles on it.  Parked it last Friday with ~90% battery.  Turned on saturday am, 0% charge and  that same set of error codes quoted above.  Looks like some component is going bad frequently on these.
Called dealer (~60miles away), guess I will have to take it in to them.
