Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Buying a 2018 FX, questions about battery options and tires.
« on: June 13, 2018, 01:14:11 AM »
Hey everyone, I did a little searching and didn't find the answers so hopefully these aren't already discussed to death.
I'm buying a 2018 FX and one of the things I'm trying to decide is if I want the 7.2, or the moduler 3.6 with an extra battery. In particular, are different year batteries compatible with the modular bikes? Seems like last year the batteries were good for 3.3 kwh and this year they're 3.6, so if next year they're 3.9 can I just buy a pair of those, plug them in and have better range on this bike?
Also I'm inclined to put on knobbier-than-stock tires for offroading, I like the TKC80's but there isn't a factory-size rear available (there's a 120/90/18 vs the factory 120/80/18). Are there any known issues with slightly oversize tires?
Thanks!
