Normally on a 220V system you can use 2,2kW on a 10A breaker circuit. If your breaker is 40A you can use 8,8kW.
I have never heard of “maximum contracted power”, but maybe it is a restriction due to a weak local grid. Anyway your breaker should not trip if it’s 40A.

As long as they have the 1C cap enabled it won't make any difference whether or not they can use DC stations in Europe, as the SR/F is very nearly at the limit with its 12kW units.

Well, we will have to pay extra for the charger, add extra weight to the bike and rely on extra electronics that can fail ... all really unnecessary.

So frankly while the CCS/CHAdeMO stations sound wonderful, most of the infrastructure here in the US is the level 2 stations.

Not so in Europe. Zero needs DC charging to succeed here.

Here is the old thread:

I have tried to fix it, but I still have this problem from time to time.

If you want to fill up an ICE bike you don’t need to bring the pump with you. The pump sits at the gas station.
I don’t want to drag along my own AC to DC converters when DC is already available at the station.
Please just someone make the necessary communication electronics between the DC chargers and the Zero bike.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Belt replacement cost
« on: June 30, 2017, 09:48:13 PM »
The last replacement belt that I bought from my dealer for my 2014 S cost $80 USD.  (I haven't needed to use it yet.)  I might add that it seemed to be a standard Gates belt part.

I just ordered a new belt from the Norwegian dealer - similar cost as AUS $ 250. That should be more than double the US $80 price.

My problem is a small stone in the belt:

Anyone who has experience with this problem? What is the probability for the belt to snap? Should I remove the stone? Change the best ASAP?

I think the ChaDeMo standard goes down to 50 V. Would be much simpler and cheaper to use than a onboard AC charger if someone could make a cable/interface.
Here is another tread on the subject http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=3308.msg17640#msg17640

Thanks a lot :-)
I'll forward this info to my dealer. Maybe I can get a new switch under warranty.

The wire is very easy to solder, the bottom of the switch assembly just pops off and you can get to the wires. Then you can fill it with silicon sealant before you snap it back on so it won't happen again. A new switch could fail again in the future!

Thanks for the advise. Before I do that I will check with the dealer that I won't loose my warranty if I fix it myself.

Just curious, how many miles have you put on it?

4500km One year city commuting - lots of sharp turns ...

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Sharp turn - Zero goes dead
« on: October 08, 2016, 12:23:56 AM »
A few times lately my 2015 SR suddenly went dead - light, display, motor off - all dead. It starts up again after a few seconds, but not the usual startup with counting numbers on the display. Every time it has happened at low speed and while I was doing a sharp turn.
I can manage to provoke the fault by turning the handlebar from side to side a few times. Maybe some loose connections on the wires to the steering head?
Anyone had this issue?

In the long run there's no doubt DC charging is the future but the future isn't quite here yet.

[/quote]

To "help the future" I've been in contact with NMCU (Norwegian Motor Cycle Union), and they have promised to check with the companies setting up the charging stations if they really don't support 100V DC charging. If they don't support the standard, maybe it can be possible to make them aware of the problem?
If we all try to make our National MC organisations (& FEMA - Federation of European Motorcyclists Associations & US ?) aware of this problem maybe we can have the future come faster ...
