Buy Sell Trade / 2017 Zero SR for sale in Vancouver, Canada
« on: June 26, 2020, 02:02:55 AM »
Selling my 2017 Zero SR. I haven't been riding it much for the last and current seasons.
Excellent condition, only 7900 km. There are still 2 years of warranty on the battery.

Small upgrades: LED headlamp; Nissin master brake cylinder with black brake lever to match the rest of the hardware.

Asking CA$15,900, and may consider trades - please send me your offer.

Located in Vancouver, BC, Canada, but could discuss the delivery options, if you are not too far.

Sorry, I should have updated the post: the lever is not available anymore.

I still have the MC Reservoir though if anybody is interested.

Buy Sell Trade / FS: Zero S/DS front brake parts: lever and MC reservoir
« on: May 16, 2018, 01:16:16 PM »
I have a couple of brand new parts for sale.

JJUAN Front MC Reservoir Kit (ZM 25-08035) - US$25
JJUAN Brake Lever (ZM 25-08032) - $US50

They are $40.35 and $75.05 at AF1 Racing, where I bought them recently. Just don't need these anymore as I ended up replacing the whole MC with all the parts using a kit, which included everything.

Let me know where you are, so I could calculate shipping - it's around $10-15 shipping to the US.

I just checked the switch connection on my DSR and the wires have the female spade connectors. Not sure why you're connection would be soldered, but it's easy to add the spade connectors.
Hey, you're right! I've had a closer look - they are just smaller than I expected, and wrapped in heat-shrink tubes, so look like soldered wires.

OK, ordered. :)

I've decided to get a slightly different kit though - with the standard lever (Part Number: 78594). The short lever looked a bit too short to me, especially as on the Zero it's mounted a bit farther from the end of the handlebar compared to some other bikes. The standard lever should be more similar to the stock one - will see.

Thanks for your help, BamBam!

Fitment of the Nissin MC on my FXS was perfect.  I didn't need to make any modifications.
Good to know. Thanks!

The brake light switch connection was simple plug and play from what I remember.
The wires seem to be soldered to the switch on the SR, while that Nissin switch is Flat Terminal 2-pole type - looks like standard female spade connectors would fit there.

PS - and Nissin manufactures high quality brake parts from Japan; not junk from China.
Absolutely! No question about this, even if that junk is from Spain. :)

You might want to consider replacing your front MC with this one.  Piston size is a little smaller than stock (11mm vs 12.7mm) so slightly better stopping power.  I really like it and the price is right.

This is interesting. Thank you very much!
I like the price - the whole assembly with the MC, lever and reservoir costs less than just the stock MC for the Zero! Wish I thought about this earlier - I already bought the lever and the reservoir. :(
Looks like it should just fit. Hope the handlebar, mirror, and banjo bolt are the right diameter.

Have you installed this on your FXS? Apparently at least the mirrors and the banjo bolt are the same on the SR.

The only thing, which will need a custom connection is the switch, but that should be easy. Did you use any special connector for that switch?

A 9.5mm-piston MC  - like the Nissin 3/8 I put on my 'MX' bike - would give the SR a 21.1:1 ratio, or @ 78% more pad pressure than the OEM 12.7mm MC.  Any Brembo, Nissin, etc. 9.5mm / .375" MC w/switch should drop right in and make a huge difference, and you won't have to touch anything else.
I'm thinking about replacing the MC on my '17 SR (a friend dropped it, and now I have to fix a bunch of things :(). Came to this topic from the "manual".
Can someone provide a bit more info on this: what part exactly should I look for if I want to replace the JJuan Front MC with Nissin or Brembo? Would that actually be the only part needed? Will the stock mounting hardware simply work with a different MC, and will the stock reservoir fit? I'm afraid everything around the MC will need to be changed.

Are you loving it?
Absolutely! Rode it to work today. It's so much fun needling through the traffic, and so effortless!

I keep forgetting how much like flying it is.
Yeah. That's pretty close. Or teleporting: I just look where I want to be - zzzap - and I'm there.

Quote from: togo on August 01, 2017, 05:28:38 AM
Like flying, but with better traction.  And no Z axis to complicate matters.
Heh... :)
Talking about traction - I am a bit cautious about flying right now: the tires are still new and shiny, I'm not feeling too confident in the corners yet. Still remember when during my test ride of a new FXS with just 40 km on the odometer, I almost lost it in a turn - that was a scary moment, especially because it wasn't even my bike.

Beauty in the Beast!!!
Well... Frankly speaking it's not that beautiful. :-\ Personally I prefer the looks of my R3 more. Zero or some 3rd-party manufacturers have to design some nice fairings for these machines.
But it's definitely the beast! :D

Congratulations.
Thanks!

Hi everybody.
I've been lurking here on the forum for a couple months, but now I guess it's time to introduce myself, as I just picked up this beast today!



Still cannot believe how easy these electric bikes are to ride, while being such capable machines. I'm expecting a lot of fun with my Zero. :)
