I have a 2015 DS. I'm considering replacing the swingarm with the 2017+ one (extended swingarm). The part numbers for the axle adjuster blocks are different than the ones I already have. I'm wondering if I can get away with using the ones I have or if I have to buy the 2017+ ones.

Could someone with a 2017+ S/DS gen2 measure their rear axle adjuster blocks?

Parts 13 and 16 in the diagram.

Yeah I had called them first and they had no idea. I took a guess and ordered some. Today I finally got around to installing them and they fit.

Both front and rear take the following sized speed bleeders:
SB8125L-SS stainless steel bleeder / M8 x 1.25

I used the KTM bypass mentioned here on my 2015 DS with success: https://zeromanual.com/wiki/Kickstand_Switch

Had no problem charging with the bypass switch installed.

I purposely didn't charge my bike in order to take measurements, and ended up surprised to find the bike died at 17%, leaving me stranded on the side of the road for the first time in 10 years of owning Zero's.   

At 20% the bike really started limping, and got slower and slower over the next few miles until at 17% the contactor opened and the SOC dropped to 0%. 

Sounds similar to the symptoms I experienced on my 2015 DS after around 30,000 miles - obvious range reduction and early limp mode. They replaced the battery under warranty with a 13 kWh. During the time I had the new battery Zero came out with their new charging recommendations. Prior to that I was following their recommendation to always keep it plugged-in (except for long storage).

Even with following the new recommendations the 13 kWh needed replacing (still under warranty, but just barely) at 49,000 miles. Then I was upgraded to the 14.4 kWh battery. I'm now at 57,000 miles with no issues. So only 8,000 miles on the 14.4 battery so far. I've been pretty careful with not charging it over 80%.

Any update on this?

My SR is a 2021. No helmet lock to remove.

I’ll see what I can do to document. I take advantage of so many other people’s work to document their processes but I really suck at doing it myself. I’ll manage something. Just might not be as well done as other stuff you’ve seen.  I do promise to put whatever I create somewhere other than Facebook, though. ;-)

Any update on the first group buy?

I think the fair way would be to go in order of who originally responded to this thread.

I'll work with Sayyed and StableOfZeros to aquire more in June.

So that Elcon page shows 6 models beginning with HK-J-H. Which one is for the Zero?

Hope this is acceptable for me to post this.

I know I'm new to the forums - but would like to see if there is any interest in a group buy in some of the Elcon 3.3kw external chargers.

I have spoken with Sayyed @ Elcon quite a bit.

This charger fully programmed for our Zero is $750 + $45 shipping, when purchased alone.

If we can get commitment to 5 or more, the price drops substantially to $638 per charger (plus shipping.)

I plan to purchase 2, and I'm fairly confident from speaking with other members that there is plenty of interest for us to hit the 5 mark and save some money.

Post up if you're interested!

Also if this breaking forum rules in some way, I apologize. Please let me know how I can set this up with our members.
