The charge indicator on the bike dash, is it blinking or solid on when you're fully charged?

-Don-  Cold Springs Valley, NV

The light on the dash is solid when 100% charged. Thanks for the help everyone.

Had to download the app - never used it before. Bike was at 85% when I plugged it in, took about 2 hours for dash to display 100%. The app readings are Time Until Charged N/A, State of Charge 100%, Charging Amps N/A, Charging Watts N/A, Cell Balance 5, Batter Volts 116. No change to the blinking light status

Sorry, I'm talking about the BMS Flash Code Patterns (Charge Mode). Looking at the battery percentage on the dash display - it is at 40%. I plug the bike into the wall outlet. After approximately 6 hours the dash display will show 100% but the BMS flash code shows whats on the video. Never changes even after 4 or 5 days of leaving the bike plugged in. It use to show the 1 Red, 2 Green, 3 Green, 4 Green, On for 5 seconds then off for a second. According to the manual that means it's 100% charged. My flash code never changes always shows the same flashing lights

I have a 2016 Zero SR, a couple months ago when I plug the charger in the status lights never change. The dash will show 100% and everything seems to be working fine. Even after (4) days the lights never change.
Do I have a problem?

Talked to a Zero dealer, they said not to support the bike on the plastic pan, it could damage the chargers. So I use a bike stand under the swing arm for the back and ratchet straps around the handle bars for the front. Works perfect. Tires are off and being replaced by the bike shop.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions

2016 SR – Support bike when removing tires
OK, it’s time to change tires on my 2016 SR. How is the best way to support the bike when removing the tires? It says the plastic pan is not made to support the bike.

Thanks

Charging/Balancing Question:
When I’m charging my bike and it gets to 100%, the balancing lights show the batteries are not in balance. Do you keep the bike plugged in until it shows fully balanced?

Question, I have a 2016 SR that I purchased in November 2016. How do I find out if there is an update for my bike? Does Zero send out an email?

Thanks - will take to my dealer

Is the firmware update something you have to take to a dealer to do? Or can you do it yourself?
I have a 2016 SR

Where do you get this plastic tank cover? Will it fit on a 2016 SR?

Here is an option that I did on my 2016 SR for the Charge Level LED. Every time I charge my bike I remove the existing plug to check the LED lights to make sure it is fully charged and not balancing the cells.
This is a Rigid See-Through Plastic Plug from McMaster-Carr. I removed the snap mechanisms and added a little silicone around the outer edge and inserted it into the hole. Now I can see the status without removing the plug.
Hope this helps everyone

Just received the plugs from McMaster-Carr
Part number 9750K25 Fits 7/8" hole for the Charge Level LED - plug fits but it's a little hard to get in and out, needs to be made of rubber. This one is flexible plastic
Part number 9750K27 Fits 1-3/32" hole, for the hole where the cigarette lighter would go - fits perfect.
You have to call them and ask if the have any loose plugs or else you have to buy a package of 100. They had a few loose ones for .15 each and sent them regular mail

I ordered a couple plugs from McMaster-Carr Supply Company - should be here today - I'll let you know if they worked.
Sure would be nice if Zero had schematics available to the consumers/owners like my Honda does
