What I don't know is whether S, SR, SR/F and SR/S bikes are assembled in Asia also.   I haven't seen a VIN on any European listings.

I have a 2025 SR/S (Netherlands) which has a “PAG-number”.

The only viable option is importing fully assembled bikes in small numbers, but the big bikes are not assembled outside US yet.

Are you sure about that? I understood that a 2025 SR/S was assembled in the Philippines?

Thanks for all the answers regarding the 12 volts battery. Now that I’m reading reactions about lead acid batteries I’m prepared to read advices about changing the cooling fluid on my SR/S soon too  .

So, let’s say I charge the bike till 55 %, and when the charge is finished, I put it on contact, disconnect the plug, set the chargegoal to 60 % for the next charge, and turn of the key.
The next time I connect the plug, so, without turning on the key, the main battery is charged but the 12 v is not?

In that case, a small question: I learned at this forum that the 3rd gen Zero bike balances the cells every time you charge till a set percentage, after reaching this percentage, and before ending the charge. Would you say this is true?

As far as I know, the battery cells will be balanced to the charge target you've set. By default 100%, but if you set the target to 60% via e.g. the app, the bike will balance the pack as soon as it has reached 60% SoC.

On the Gen3 bikes, you will notice this on the dash that the bike continues to charge (and consumes energy) although it has reached the set SoC target and remaining charging times is 0m. Typically (in my case) takes between 5 - 10 minutes.

Well, until now I only charged to a target, and at two times I was there by chance when it reached the set target. And like you say, the target was reached, remaining time was zero minutes, but charging kept going on with amps and kw’s slowly going down for about a few minutes (first time that I noticed it was for like five minutes, second time somewhat less).
So, in other words, if you’re right, I guess I balanced my battery without even knowing it 

Something I just remembered: one time the target was set to 70%. When I went to the motorcycle that evening the charging had ended for a while, but the shown SOC was not 70, but 73 %, now I realise that maybe it might have been balancing for those 3% ?

It stays free. Since there is no DCFC with Zeros, they don't need to be so careful with locking things in.

Energica locks in, Zero doesn't.

Charged my bike for the first time this afternoon. I’m afraid I have to disappoint you (or not); the plug locks at the beginning, and only unlocks when you turn the key after charging is complete (or maybe also after you turn the key while charging still in progress, still have to find that out). (2025 SR/S).

Shouldn't charging stop when you turn the motorcycle on?

Yes, later on I remembered that the dealer said (during an earlier visit) that charging stops when you turn the key, but I don”t know if this is the correct way (for the motor’s electronics).

I also called the shop of the granny charger, they told me to pull the plug on the motor-side because this will first disconnect the communication-pin, but later on I thought that normally the motor-side plug is locked, so this wouldn’t work. Does a Zero lock the plug or does it stay “free”?
