Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2012 and older / Zero S controller shutdown
« on: October 10, 2010, 03:36:07 AM »
I have a 2010 Zero S and have experienced occasional motor controller shutdowns.  This has usually occured when I have been climbing a hill at full throttle and then snap the throttle shut after cresting the hill.  The bike then will not respond to the throttle and will coast to a stop if I don't reset it by cycling the kill switch or key.  Has anybody else had a similar experience?

I have had a 2010 S since July and have 750 miles on it.  My typical ride in southern Indiana is relatively hilly at between 35 and 50 mph.  I typically ride 22 miles with about 1/4 in 35mph stop and go traffic and the rest rural hilly roads.  I  usually have 3/11 bars left at the end of the ride.  My ride into town is more downhill and home averages more uphill, so if I recharge at a local coffee shop in town I will ride more aggressively on the way home.  Riding the same route you develop a feel for the range available.  Some of the recent magazine tests have criticized the brakes on the S but they are no worse than a KLR650.  You also have to ride it like a gravity racer or 125 GP bike; if you have to use the brakes you've screwed up.
