I'd like to see active variable re-gen some day- I know there are some posts for it on the unofficial Zero manual, but I'd love to convert my vestigial left foot downshift motion into anywhere from coasting at 0 Re-gen to enough to stop the bike decently quickly -- like the finesse of stopping with your rear brake only.

-- Oh, and +1 better firmware/testing.  I purchased my 2018 SR with the Quick Charger and I've only had it for a total of 7 days since my March 14th purchase due to charger errors.  I've taken it in three times and my most recent issue may be inherent to all quick chargers -- an inability to tolerate a quick charge station throttling from 6kW to 3kW.  I'm also the one to thank that now Zero must test all quick chargers for a minimum of 20 minutes as they were having overheating issues at the 20 minute mark.  Woo...

Cheers,

PS, can you make this variable regen reverse compatible with previous gen models? Thanks! =o)

Hello All!
I just took delivery of my 2018 Zero SR last Saturday. 
I had no issues when I charged the Zero in downtown Portland, OR (Level II Unknown charger make).  But Monday when I charged it at work (Level II, GE Wattstation), someone else unplugged the Zero while I was awhile (Normal process for our work chargers).
When I got back to the bike, I appear to have the same issue, the bike thinks it is still charging.  I could only get it to switch to "run" when I pushed the bike forward.
Every time I turned off the bike, I had to repeat the process: See charging indicator, push forward, ride.
Monday night, I used the accessory port to run a tire inflator and when I was done, the "check engine" light was on with Error 47 (MBB Charger Check Fail).
I tried plugging in to the Level 1 charger at home and it noticed it was charging, but still did not notice the system was unplugged (I'm guessing from the charge tank).
I sent the logs to Zero and dealer last night.
This morning, same thing on the ride to work (this is now 40 miles of operation since last Level II charge).
I'm going to try plugging it back into the LII charger during my lunch break and hope for better results.

So I guess I just wanted to throw my "hat into the ring" so to speak.
Hello All!
