Sounds like the motor timing is out of spec. The dealer should be able to "commission" it or whatever it's called. May fix it.
You were right the timing is out of spec. The dealer could fix it and it work for about 3 km. Than the same problem is comes back. Probably something wrong inside the motor....

I have the same problem on my 2016 FXS.
Since a few days, my bike does not charge fully with the onboard charger. It stopped sometimes at 78%, sometimes at 58%.
But I am able to finish the charge to 100% using my external charger.

Crap, that sounds exactly like the classic Green Watt Power EVC-116-720 charger failure. I was able to find a replacement on eBay for $418 shipped, which it turned out I didn't need because it was the fuse holder. I keep it in case I get your same failure. I wonder if it is easy for you to get one in Europe.

There is another one here.

Its very easy to get one, just expensive. Cost about 900 euros.

My motorcycle unfornately left me stranded today. I got a new issue. Which probably is not going to be so easy to fix. I drove to work and it decreased power untill it stopped. Went to the side of the road and now the motor goes backwards after turning it off and back on.

Thanks guys! The bike is charging now. It was indeed the onboard charge fuse.

Thanks for the replies!
"One was not closed quickly enough." Sounds like a problem with the contactor in one of your battery modules ... or the system that monitors it.
It sounds like it is. Its hard to interpret these logs right without experience, this is my first electric motorcycle.

Have you checked fuses?   I had an intermittent charging issue with my 2017 FXS that eventually became a full time issue.   I tracked it down to the 10 amp fuse that supplied power to the OBC.  First I 
cleaned the contacts of the fuse holder.   Eventually I replaced and relocated the entire fuse holder to a better location.

Thanks, didnt know about that, I will check the fuses tomorrow.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / FXS 2019 doesnt charge

Hi all,
My FXS 2019 with just 7000 km stopped charging. I use this bike for commute, even when it rains. A new onboard charger wasnt the solution, it still doesnt charge. I dont have any error codes on the display.
When I plug in the onboard charger, I hear that click, the green charge light keeps flashing and the charge time displays 0:00. After a while the green light turns off and nothing happens.

In the bin files I can only find this relating to charging errors: DEBUG: Charge Fault Occured. Sevcon trying to close contactor, but one was not closed quickly enough.
Does this mean replacing the SEVCON converter? Can someone look at the bin file to see if thats correct?

Are there other things to check first?

An other option could be this, since I only charge at home, I am leaning towards buying an offboard charger, could that be the solution even if the onboard charger doesnt work?
