OK left on the charger for 72hours and only got 20 miles until all bars on the gauge were gone. Plugged it in and the charger guage went up to the second from the top. doesnt that mean it is mostly charged? Could it be that the instrument gauge is off that much?

If I'm understanding you correctly, the light second from the top means that it is dumping charge into the battery at a very high rate, meaning the charger knows the battery is fully discharged.

Keep the bike on the charger until the charger shows a green light.  If it takes longer than a couple of days, it wouldn't hurt to take your bike to the nearest dealer to pull the BMS data.

Ha so yes I get what you mean, the more lights the more current. So last night I decided to try the bike myself and see how long the bike would last. At 13 miles all the instrument charge bars were gone and at 29 miles the bike was still going strong but it was getting too cold and my butt was numb. Is the guage that off?

Well the 2 bar flashing only lasts for a minute because your down to no bars in no time. I was wondering what the charger was showing too last night after she rides it. Will look when she get home.

My wife just bought one and the range she is getting is an average of 16miles until the battery guage up at the Instrument panel is flashing no bars. She and I have tryed a bunch of throttle practices but still the same result. Is this normal? Is there something we can do?
