Active dimming has been improved for up to about 80% dimming now using a lens photocell as seen mounted between the head lamps.
Also used the stock high beam lens for a narrower beam in the final configuration.
During day time it outputs about 25-40%, for about 2000-3320 lumens still much brighter than the stock halogen.
There is no cut off for the high beam only the low beam uses the cutoff which has not been modified yet.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / 2022 Zero Fx 8300 lumen LED high beam
« on: January 27, 2023, 08:28:39 PM »
After trying Led bulbs with very poor results I decided to make my own high power LED headlamp for my Zero Fx. My design outputs 8300 lumens at 43.6watts LED power with 47.2 watts input. With  a larger 78mm projector lens using the stock mounting bracket. Also has adaptive dimming for up to 30% dimming for oncoming vehicles. Material cost came to about $140.00, I did all of the machining and overall design. Very pleased!

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Zero Battery charge cycles expected
« on: September 09, 2022, 08:11:19 PM »
I have seen many of the recommendations on the charging methods posted here from other members and was curious as to whom has got the most charge cycles on their Zero battery packs? The Zero Fx manual states battery life as 123,000mi, I guess this would be to 80% capacity and under ideal charge/discharge cycles. This would equate to over 1800 charge cycles from 0% to 100% or many more charge cycles using the suggested 20%-80% charge cycling. ( based on 68mi range for my Fx from 100% to 0%, or over 3000 charge cycles based on the 20%-80% charge profile giving only 40.8mi/charge)

So whom has the most charge cycles and what charge profile was used most often during those charging events? And what are your total miles achieved on a battery pack?

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / 2022 FX TFT display glare at night

Is anyone else bothered by the TFT display glare at night?
It is so bothersome I am thinking about adding a strip of window tint film to the bottom of my helmet visor!
Wish there was a way to dim the display. Anyone found a way to dim it?

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / CEL after 48mi on 2022 Zero FX
« on: July 16, 2022, 03:21:47 AM »
Had my first CEL turn-on at 48mi on my 2022 Zero FX, then after a few miles of riding it turned off.
Downloaded the MBB and BMS logs and saw a BMS internal error and DTC code 3 was set. SOC~75%
Does this kind of DTC get reset after a number of key on-off cycles or miles driven with no other errors?
Bike ran fine, full torque and speed and only the kill switch and kickstand error codes that go to 00.
If this happens again I will for sure contact my dealer and send him the logs
