I ended up replacing the charging unit a couple of weeks ago, the video linked earlier in the thread was extremely helpful. The replacement unit I got had the same updated model number mentioned above and I noticed a large "box" in the cable that the prior one did not have (was a challenge to get it to where it needed to go)

When my charger burned up while it was charging it made a burning smell. But my home electrical breaker did not trip. The charger just died a quick death.  :(

Found an almost identical bullet hole on mine, I haven't pulled the charger out just yet to look inside, imagine the board will look similar to yours...

Thank you for the replies, will do some investigation today!

If it does end up being the charger, is there a better option than replacing with the same 1.3kw charger it came with? And where is the best place to buy from? I'm in California.

Hi all,

My gently used, stock 2017 SR (~3000 miles) recently tripped the breaker while charging, and when I discovered this maybe 1-2hrs after it tripped, there was an electrical smell in the air. I was in a bit of a rush after this discovery and later rode the bike to and from work with no issues. The bike said it was at 96% charge when I switched it on for this trip.

It of course now no longer charges and I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting (I'm about a 45 min ride to the dealer and not sure I have enough juice to make it there).

Electrical smell probably means something is fried, is there a fuse or cable anyone would recommend looking at first? I've attached the relevant section of logs and nothing jumps out at me.

Cheers,
Craig
