Thank you.

I guess I’ll keep an eye out for a decent looking clock that attaches to the bars or something.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / 2017 Zero SR clock loses time.
« on: January 23, 2025, 04:43:21 AM »
Greetings,

Recently my clock has been losing time. I reset it and the next time I ride the clock shows incorrect time again.

Prior to the above issue I was commuting 4 to 5 days per week on my bike. Full charge at work, ride home, repeat. I retired recently, and my rides are less frequent and usually shorter.

I did a search and found a thread from ‘23 started by Don Tom. He ends up modifying his dash with an external replaceable battery. I want to make sure that I understand the gist of it correctly.

The battery in the dash is not rechargeable and powers only the clock? So if I do nothing about it, at worst I’ll have no clock. The change in how I use my Zero isn’t causing the clock issue. Do I have this right?

I will appreciate any feedback. :)

…While I will use the OBC when away from home, when charging at home I now use Zero's Delta Q charger, which doesn't produce as much power and still gets pretty hot as you find out when you touch its cooling fins.
;)

Delta Q. Doesn’t that require using the Anderson connector on the right side of the bike which is such a PITA to access?

Sorry, yeah that’s what I meant, less heat generated by the onboard charger.

Same speed, but less heat produced, is that correct?

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Level 2 adapter
« on: April 30, 2023, 03:54:03 AM »
Greetings!

After moving last summer the usability of my bike has changed. I would like to have access to public level 2 charging stations but I don’t want a Charge Tank.

I found this adapter  https://www.evseadapters.com/shop/en/ev-chargers-charger-adapters-extension-cords/21-j1772-to-iec-c13-adapter-for-electric-motorcyclescooter.html

The text says it has a “special circuit that tricks the charging station…”

The onboard charger on the bike can use 110 or 220 volts input. So would that adapter work for me?
TIA for any help and advice.

My friend managed to crash my SR within minutes of me letting him ride it. He has decades of experience and several local road racing championships…

Your story is helpful to me on two fronts. First because your bike has been good since the crash. Second, and almost more importantly because your friend is an experienced rider.

I have been beating myself up since my crash because I feel like I should know better. Sometimes these things happen and you try to but you can’t explain why or how.

I'm surprised you managed to damage the end of the axle…

I think once the peg broke off it allowed the axle and the chin fairing to touch down.

So yours hit the ground twice and no electrical issues, that is encouraging.

I read the thread last night that you linked to. That is worrisome.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / How tough are these Zeros?
« on: February 12, 2023, 01:35:04 AM »
After five and a half years of great riding on my 2017 SR, I screwed up and crashed it on my way to work four weeks ago.

I’m (mostly) fine. Bruised ankle, bruised ribs and bicep and re-injured rotator cuff, all on my right side. My gear did its job. I rode my bike home after the crash. So lucky.

The obvious damage to my bike is nuts and bolts type stuff. Bent front brake lever, ground up bar end, throttle tube and grip. The right chin fairing is scuffed. The right foot peg broke off and the clevis where it mounts is ground down to the pin. The rear brake pedal peg is ground off and the pedal is bent. The threads at the right end of the rear axle are garfed up. That’s it!

Hopefully.

This is where my question comes in: How tough are these things?

I have to think that the dual sport versions of these bikes get thrown down the road once in a while while being ridden in the dirt. Are the battery packs or electronic components susceptible to damage from the shock of impact with the road?

Should I be concerned about “hidden damage”?

I will appreciate any feedback from the collective experience here.

Does anyone know what Zero is calling the color of the 2022 SR/S?

My 2017 SR has made a sound very similar to the OP’s since new.

Sorry, I have to ask what you U.K. guys mean by “tethered” and “cable-less”  with respect to chargers.

That looks like an even newer version that the one that I bought only 6 months ago.  Kind of suspicious that the charger keeps being revised.  I wonder what was wrong with Model 1300?   ???

I guess you just can't get good Chinese (or are they Canadian?) chargers anymore.   ::)

Did your new charger come with a new cord?

I finally got around to taking a picture of my new charger.
