It may just have been the battery case that was prettied up. Do we know?

2016 Zero SR,
It's the chargers. Mine failed with the scary sound of frying bacon.

My 2016SR had the charger die at 7000 miles. It was replaced under dealer warranty. Contactor won't always release after charging but a few key switches gets it to drop. Only get about 70 miles of range on my my battery (don't know what it's supposed to get, but that seems bad). I love it anyway.

Wondering how to find those numbers. My brakes suck too. Always grinding or squealing. Front and back.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Cleaning paint of a red Zero tank
« on: May 27, 2018, 01:48:33 AM »
The type of paint makes a difference. Would just start with the orange oil type cleaner. See if it softens and rubs clean. There are more agressive methods to try after that. I had to buy a tiny 3" buffer to polish through some mystery crud that got on my tank. May as well have been catalyzed paint for how impossible it was to remove.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Belt fail after 36 thousand miles
« on: May 08, 2018, 07:32:22 PM »
Is there a write-up for this somewhere? What I surmise from the photo sequence is:
1. Remove entire backend of bike in a way you never imagined it would disassemble.
2. Put it back together with two belts in place at the same time, but old belt no longer engaged on rear axle sprocket.
3. Pull the slack of the old belt to the side and wrap around your frame and zip tie.
4. Ride and enjoy?

« on: May 07, 2018, 12:17:40 AM »Folks: What about asking Zero to firstly use camshifts instead of belts
(Or) using two built in wheel engines: one up front and one in the rear.

I think you mean drivesaft and hub motor? Yes?
A driveshaft has too much parasitic load and I don't think hub motors get us in the vicinity of 60hp. Would be nice if either was a possibility.
