Can someone edit the android app to allow even further increase of regenerative braking?

Thanks for that dual confirmation. Freakout can now stop - sorry all for my posts here and on FB. I just literally have no time to take this 2 hrs away for repairs. Super excited for better weather.

What do you actually get as your 100% charge? I'm in the same boat as you and only got 14.5 kWh on 100% - about freaked out and posted another thread on here - dealer is 2 hrs away and I barely have time to take it there to pick it up, let alone repairs -
I went by when they opened on Saturday. Talked with Mikey, and, Tommy ( I think ) both seemed like nice guys.
Put my FX out this morning to warm the batteries a bit, am going to ride over there now with the FX to show them
what a 2013 FXs looks like. lol

I've had it for 24 hrs. And didn't want to take it out on the slick roads too much. Yesterday driving back from the Uhaul place the roads were nice and dry. I love it. Compared to the 2012 the seat is a definite upgrade, however my only gripe is the distance between your rear end and the footpeg is shorter and i've had 7 knee surgeries so keeping my knee bent for a long period of time can be uncomfortable. I'll get used to it though. Acceleration is phenomenal compared with the '12. I'm actually glad I didn't seriously contemplate getting the SR only because I'd be tempted to ride even faster. The S is probably more than enough for me.
I used the app and just wonder if in that interface when I change settings and want to use that riding profile do I switch to the "custom" mode on the bike or the eco. I'm assuming custom, however i read elsewhere that app changes eco mode settings (i'd think it would be altering the custom mode settings)
My biggest concern is that the state of charge was only showing 14.5 kWh. It would be nice if they told you the app registers the nominal capacity (if that truly is what it does).
I mounted my go pro on the left front turn signal stalk as far medial as I could and it is pretty stable. That part doesn't flex, only the outer half does. It also provides a really great view of the road (I posted pics of that on facebook).
I'm moving to Montana in 6 months and needed to upgrade to a '16 now or never, plus by doing it before 2016 hit I was able to benefit from the tax credits that wouldn't have helped me next year due to income reasons, so overall I'm really really happy and think I'll have plenty more opportunities for great and safer rides out there compared to Pennsylvania.
I'm thinking about using the tail tidy and replacing the rear fender on the bike, but I remember a post about how that leads to a bit more splash hitting your back. Don't know if that's true or not. Also I dont' want to have to worry about rewiring any lights.

Thats what I was hoping. It just weirded me out that the number 14.5 was exactly 1/2 between 13 and 15.9 so I thought maybe half the cells of the power tank weren't functioning properly or weren't hooked up. Also it is showing a range of 122 miles. Where does that number come from? The expected range based on how you've driven the bike over its entire lifetime or is that updated on the fly?

Just picked up my 2016 S with power tank. At 100% state of charge the app only reads 14.5 kWh. Anybody have an idea about this? The website specs say it should be 15.9 kWh (but it also lists on the website that nominal charge is 14 kWh on the website)
I figured some of you guys might have a better clue than I. I called customer support but obviously nobody picked up and i left a message - Dan

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Upgrading brakes
« on: December 29, 2015, 10:14:42 PM »
Wondering if anybody has advice as to the benefit or drawback of doing dual rotor front brakes on the zero 2016 S with power tank. I just traded in my 2012 S. I'm a safe driver, however am always looking for utmost safety because my career depends on my ability to stand and use my hands (type of surgical specialty). If either of those were compromised I'd be out of luck (and on my disability insurance). 1) would this be a worthwhile upgrade? 2) could any motorcycle shop do this properly without f'ing up the bike? 3) This is nothing i'd attempt to do on my own. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, if it would be something smart to do, what type of motorcycle shop would I take it to to ensure the best quality job - Dan
