Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: onboard charger problem
« on: June 13, 2017, 10:29:49 AM »
Well, mayby I buy that new onboard charger if its not that expensive..

I allways keep my zero in warm garage.
 I bought my fx from germany in 2014. There was no dealer in Finland until this year, but I was lucky I have had only small issues with my bike so far..
 I have been driving on snow and ice with spike tires and now its summer so lots of fun with wheelies and stuff..

I did clean that connector earlier..
 If I buy new charger I dont really want to spend money on useless 650w onboard charger :/
  Any options to buy more powerfull one? Does the pack ballance trough quick charging? I have elcon but it doesn't charge to full.. Cell ballance seems good anyway after few months using only elcon..

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / onboard charger problem
« on: June 06, 2017, 09:56:41 PM »
I have been using my elcon for a while now because onboard charger is not working. When I connect charger it clicks but it fails to start charging,on dash the charge indicator blinks red light. Now I was checking with multimeter and charger gives correct voltage and fuse is ok.. 
 What might be the problem? Anyone had similar problems?
 I post some pics on facebook now also.

I think high voltage fuse holders are not the best available.  Spring under the fuse is heating up on charger fuse when charging. I put some copper wire on spring there to help conductivity and now it is better.

Thanks evtricity, it was in 2015 manual!
 It is little hard to find under the cover.
   phildaniels , I would change the fuse first. Just a tought to check the spring under the fuse, mayby it is just a little weak and extract in cold weather? 😄

12v system went dark. High voltage fuses are not where manual says, and I have only found one sand filled fuse. Someone had similar problem and had photos from zero but didnt mind telling it to others! >:(
 I have contacted zero but it takes too long. Someone have any info?

Motor is last thing to worry :P
 I think the biggest concern is the torq that rips the tires or that you get "monday" bike and there is bms or some other issues with it.  ;D

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Fx rear tire
« on: September 18, 2015, 12:58:22 PM »
For some reason with only 3000km on my FX and rear tire is almost done  ;D
  What kind of tires do you recommend. Is 140/70-18 too big for the rim?
My FX has been working great and 2.5kw elcon charger is great for little longer trips also:)

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Plug and play quick charger from eu?
« on: June 13, 2015, 05:15:35 PM »
Any similar like Elcon Quick Charger? Or easy DIY?
 It is a bit pricey to order from US to EU.. 1500€ with tax and shipping:/

congratulations on your awesome bike   :)
I think you find out when you try both, easy to swap on the field:)
 I was also thinking to buy with one battery first and uppgrade later,  drive first summer with one battery and then buy second one, so  then you have new bike with more power and range:D
 Dealer made me good offer and convinced me to take the 5.7.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Zero Fx power under 50%
« on: May 15, 2015, 02:16:19 PM »
Here the answer from Zero for this question.
 
"On page 1.8 from the Owner’s Manual you will find the parameters that might influence the range of the vehicle. However the experience that you describe below is basically not mentioned on that specific page. The power algorithm that is notice by the Customer is to prevent damage on the Battery, thus to perform correctly over the lifetime. This embedded firmware, the algorithm, allows the Battery to discharge quicker from fully charged to half way down. If the State of Charge (SOC) drops below 45-50% the power is cutting back. Although I don’t know all the ins- and outs about the algorithm, you will notice a significant drop in performance below the 30 %. Basically the algorithm protects the Battery from quick discharge at low energy level, to guarantee the lifetime. This is something I personally noticed riding a 15MY FX."

 I had a long drive and drove first time down to 5%. This time I didn´t notice any power drop untill 50%, charger was plugged 24hr before this run and the previous run was just out of charger.
 Zero is not gonna leave you halfway easy, there is no horry when you are under 30% :D
 Now when I know this is normal behaviour I dont mind the power drop. Good thing there is solution for this, Quick charger is more significant thing to buy if I want to drive more with full power  :D

I really love the easy wheelies with my FX. I was driving today and made my first a run with one battery only and I had to turn back after few kilometers, feels very lame and no wheelies with one pack:/
  With to batteries it feels very agressive 100-70%, and there really is the first power drop.
    I would really like to change some parameters on controller, has enyone any experiense?  :P
