Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Zero App broke with iOS10?
« on: September 19, 2016, 10:08:57 AM »
iOS 10 has been in beta for months, I don't think it's iOS 10's fault that no one fixed the app in that whole time. :(

Did they fall out of the frame tube or the swingarm tube, mine doesn't come out very easily (2013 s)

Sorry, didn't see this.  Out of the frame tube... the inside of the tube gets dusty and it lowers friction in the tube, is my theory.  I blame California and the drought, in other words. :)

It's okay, I carry a 15' in the bag, I was never using the 10' anyway, it was just a spare.

I've had two 10' cables (the original and a replacement) fall out of the tube... I gave up and carry it in the bag. :)

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / 97%, and the heat.
« on: June 21, 2016, 09:05:40 PM »
We had a 115 degree day yesterday, and while it made for unpleasant riding conditions, the Zero SR rode just fine.  The only oddness actually came this morning.  I got home last night ~9pm, plugged it in as usual... came out this morning, unplugged it, and the charge was at 97%.  It had 9 hours plugged in, uninterrupted power, and was at ~60% charge when I got home, so it should've only taken 2-3 hours to charge.

That's the first time I've ever had it be under 100% after charging.  Is that a reflection of it getting hot yesterday, or something unrelated I should worry about?  Curious as to your thoughts... thanks in advance!

Yay SR!

I got mine back in November, and my Honda Interceptor hasn't been ridden since.  Love the Zero... you're gonna have so much fun!!! :)

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Corbin Seat available for 2013-2016 Zero's now
« on: June 13, 2016, 07:51:55 PM »
Got my Corbin over the weekend also... just got to try it out for the ride into work.  Seat position is a bit further back, so I was leaning a bit more on the ride... not bad at all, just will take getting used to.  Comfortable seat though!

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Very entertaining SR ride review
« on: June 10, 2016, 04:18:52 AM »
I know in the six months I've had my SR, I haven't taken my Interceptor out of the garage once... LOVE the SR, and the off-the-line acceleration is wonderful, as is the amount of power at my normal highway speeds (75-85mph usually).

And I put it on "sport" about a week in, and haven't switched since. :)

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: 2016 Zero SR Sustained Top Speed?
« on: March 26, 2016, 08:51:14 PM »
I live in SoCal, my commute is ~25 miles, and I typically am going 80-90mph for most of it.  I usually get to work with ~65% power left, and then I recharge and repeat for the ride home. :)

It sounds to me that you are right on track with what I have been hearing. I hope you love yours as much as I do ;D.

SO much.  I was a wimp all week because of the rain, but today was clear so I got to ride it to work... LOTS of fun!

Eplas,
Does your SR have the tank? because being cold it seems that you are doing good on the distance. My last trip last night with a passenger it was 29 miles and I had 74% left but I have the tank and it was in town driving.

Nope, I waited for the 2016 in part because it'd have enough range to get me to work and back without the tank... and almost my whole commute is highway miles, but no passenger. :)

Sure looks like it supports two vehicles on the form... we're planning on writing off my Zero and my wife's Volt this year...

My coldest ride so far was 31 degrees, and the 2016 SR went from 100% to 61% on the ride to work (32 miles).  It's part of why I waited 'til the 2016, I wanted the extra battery size as a safety margin, so I'd know any time of year, I could make it to work and back if I needed to...

Thanks, I finally got it to work, not sure why it wasnt earlier.

For my 2016 SR, the bike has to be "on" for it to work.  In charging mode, the phone sees the bike's bluetooth but the app kills the connection.  If the key is in the on position, I can get it to connect and change "custom" settings.

Of course, the app still thinks it's a 2013, and after that first day where I got it to work and set my "custom" top speed to 80mph, I haven't opened the app since... :)

For those in California, the state rebate is still going strong... my check for $900 from my 2016 Zero SR is in the mail to me now...
