Yeah, welcome to world of confusing nomenclature when it comes to SERIAL communications. Some devices actually label their PINS as to what THEY do (which is the way it *should* be done, IMHO), and other devices label their PINS as to what they should be plugged into on the other end. Thereby, leading to TX-TX and RX-RX connections. It's stupid. Glad you got it sorted!

As SwampNut suggested, removing the fairings isn't that terrible. This is likely the safest option for you to prevent causing more damage. Once you have the tank fairing off, it will be a quick and easy matter to reattach the cable. There are some videos on YouTube which explain the disassembly process, but in a nutshell, here is the process:

1. Remove the mirrors
2. Remove the front cowl
3. Remove the outer side fairings, being sure not to forget the two screws on the bottom of the chassis, where the two fairings overlap
4. Remove the two push pins connecting the tank fairing to the inner side fairings.
5. Remove the inner side fairings.
6. Finally, remove the tank fairing. It's only held on with 4 easy to reach screws, but it can be a bit fiddly to remove, as you have to rotate it to clear the handlebars, etc.

Don't bother with it. It's half-baked, difficult to use, frequently just stops working completely. Even the worst phone based navigation has it beat by a country mile.

Have you let it fully charge and balance either to 100% or custom charge target? Just curious if the bike is limiting charge rate to avoid a high cell imbalance. I'm not sure that the bike does this. Just thinking out loud.

While the bike certainly can limit the charge rate, particularly during extreme temperatures, or cell imbalance, based on the number you provided, it sounds like you may have inadvertently switched your EVSE to 16A. I know I've done that myself.

As far as I know, there is no way for it to keep it charged, as the main contactor going to the drive battery isn't engaged, so the DC to DC converter *can't* keep the battery charged. Or, to put it another way, if you don't have ACC power, then your 12V battery isn't get any power either.

I don't ride like a hooligan (no offense to anyone who does), but I honestly have never been able to discern any difference in performance at different SOC. I've only been down to 3%, but I've heard people say that you can get another 10 miles at 0%, though I find that a bit hard to believe myself.
