Hi Amicb

thank you for your reply!

I don't think the controller is fried, it stll works most of the time, but not always. If it would be fried, I think would not drive anymore.

Best wishes

That was exactly the same behaviour when mine was about to get completely fried in my DS 2010, don´t know if it´s your case. If one day yours refuses completely to run check it, and if the controller needs replacement don´t forget to install a precharge.

Cheers!

Did you install a pre charge resistor before the Alltrax?

Have a look at this: https://alltraxinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Doc100-003-B_OP-AXE-Operators-Manual.pdf

Alltrax on 2010 and 2011 used to fry if no pre charge resistor was installed.

Let me explain our colleague about the recall in spanish:

Hola, no se si sabes que Zero está recomprando todas las Zero del 2012 (modelos ds, s y dsp) por riesgo de incendio. El riesgo es bastante grande (recientemente ha ardido alguna moto completamente) por lo que lo que los compañeros te están diciendo en inglés es que directamente no intentes reparar nada y que aceptes la recompra de Zero. En esa recompra hay varias opciones (al menos en USA):

Si la moto funciona te dan 6000 dólares (modelos con batería de 9kWh)
Si la moto ha sido alterada o no funciona correctamente: 3000 dólares
Si compras un nuevo modelo de zero a estas cantidades se añaden 1000 dólares.

Si además tienes montados accesorios originales te dan el 50% del valor de compra.

Desde mi punto de vista no merece la pena mantener la moto... En cualquier caso veremos qué valores otorgan a las motos aquí en Europa.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2012 and older / Re: $30 sensor or £2000 for a new motor... choices, choices.
« on: September 05, 2017, 12:23:26 PM »
Congrats David!

I was able to do the same by buying the same sensor the motor had, which is from the supplier RLS but I´m wondering if yours is the same sensor or Motenergy has replaced it by a different one. Do you have any pic from the sensor?

I informed Zero about this fix a couple of years ago but it seems that either they didn´t have any interest in keeping the <12 models in the streets or they just wanted to put the new motors in the old bikes...

By the way, as you say it´s crucial to keep the motor timing, otherwise expect to see some magnets flying out ot the motor...

I want to upgrade to an SR. The S is otherwise superb but somethimes I miss some more acceleration. By the way I still keep my first DS 2010!!! Where are you located?

I know... unfortunately not many electric riders here in Spain. I have not advertised it locally as there is not many interest here and I get so many ridiculous offers...

When I sold my 2012 it took me some months and I had to lower the price to a point that it was almost a gift.

BTW my bike was bought in march this year so it has still 1 year and three months warranty on the whole bike.

Nobody interested??? New offer: 8000€. Reasonable offers are also welcome.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Throttle snatchiness on a 14 Zero S 11.4
« on: November 07, 2016, 09:15:28 PM »
I haven´t dissasebled the throttle on my S 2014 but assuming it´s the same throttle the MY2010 have try to disassemble and reassemble it. I had some issues with my zero DS 2010 (with closed throttle te bike tried to accelerate a little bit until a point in which I got a throttle error and the bike didn´t work anymore). I dissasembled the throttle and after repositioning the potentiometer in the 0 position it worked fine again. Make sure the screw which is preventing the potentiometer from rotating is properly fixed. Maybe you have a different problem but it´s so easy it´s worth a try.

Thanks guys for your comments, appreciated.

I think I will keep my S2014 as it is at least until the 2-year period warranty has ended and let´s see what are the options then (this will happen in March 2018).

This sometimes happens to me if I unplug the bike from the wall socket and turn it on before the digits on the dash dissapear (Zero S 2014). The solution in that case: turn the bike off, wait for a few seconds until no information is shown in the dash and turn it on again. Suppose this has to do with some capacitors that need some time to discharge. 


I updated the firmware but the behaviour before and after are the same.

Well it depends on how much the controller change costs... For me the S 2014 is awesome, reliable and meets all my demands for everyday use. I´m basically searching for a faster acceleration to increase the "ride fun" a couple of times a month, which maybe does not justify buying a new bike. i´ve been changing my Zeros each 2 years and I bought the last one on March this year so I hope to keep the 2014 at least until 2018.

Ok so basically if I change the controller and the MBB (update or change) I would have a SR with the S motor: if I overheat the magnets i would need to change the motor to the hi-temp magnet motor... but if i keep an eye on the temp indicator in the dash and I don't overheat them everything should work.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Upgrade Zero S 2014 to SR
« on: October 24, 2016, 03:40:14 PM »
Hi guys,

¿Would it be possible to upgrade a S to a SR by just changing the SEVCON and the related SW in the MBB or are there any other needed changes? I´m very happy with my S 2014 (completely reliable after 6000km) and I was wondering if this could be done. 

Regards from Spain

Buy Sell Trade / Zero S 2014 11,4 5200km

Hi all,

I´m thinking of selling my S 2014 11,4 with only 5200km to get an SR. The bike was bought in March this year and is in perfect condition. It has a Givi windscreen and the original top case rack. I´m asking 8500 for it and I´m located in Zaragoza, Spain.
