Oh wow! This is exactly the problem I had since the third month of having the bike. Been communicating with Zero ever since (thought my problem was unique, they don't seem to understand what my problem is). Only thing is it seems to be getting worse. If I leave the bike on overnight charging and come back to check, the whole dash is flashing (was not the problem before). I just switch off and on and the problem seems to go away. Also stops at 86%. Continuous switching on and off, eventually it gets to 100%. Last charge to 100% took me three days. Not practical to use like this. I'm worried that I might damage something else, like the battery. Is there nothing I can do to fix it myself? Bike is still under warranty (don't want to scratch and loose warranty), but we do not have any Zero agents in Cape Town, South Africa. Can I do a firmware update myself? Is a BMS board the only solution and is it easy to replace myself? Or am I pretty much screwed and need to "accidentally" send the bike over a cliff while the insurance is still of value 
? I'm hoping there is a simple solution to this problem.
