Netpro;
Are you sure that the original line is 16 inches? I purchased a AS47118 18 inch line and it looks awfully short. I am installing 1.5 inch risers with 1.5 pull back this weekend and want to be sure I have what I need to complete the job. The line I purchased measures 18 inches from end to end including the fittings. By the way I like the looks of your install congrats on a great job.
Thanks

I got the same thing with my SR/F.  I was originally concerned with the peg position but found that fine riding.  The only thing that bothers me is the wrists/shoulders from the handlebars.  I ordered a set a bar risers.  Going to have to see if there is enough room in the cables otherwise may have to consider a bigger job of extending them if the numbness in my wrists don't get better.
Gary Please let us know how this works out as well. I am desperate to relieve the numbness problem so I can more enjoy this awesome bike.
Thanks in advance!

The leanning-forward position on the SR/F (and the peg location) is indeed a valid point.
I thought I could get used to it but after 2 weeks, I gave up and I am in the process of swapping the handlebar for one that allows for a more upright position.
For now, I will leave the foot peg as they are because I think I am getting used to it. Might change my mind later on that.

I know there will be a penalty in range but if I don't enjoy riding the bike, it doesn't matter what the range is, if it just sits in the garage.

I have ordered all the parts and they should be arriving in the next couple of days.
It will take fine surgery to extend the cables that won't reach to the new handlebar. I already took everything apart and it appears that some cables will reach but I won't know for sure until the the new parts arrive.
The brake line looks like will need replacement but that is the easy part and it only cost around $60.

what makes the project a mess if that Zero used a bar with a diameter of 1 1/8" in the center but the controls are 7/8". The choices are limited with this combination and shimming (or funky adapters) is required.

There is no doubt in my mind that I will love the bike 100% when I get this mod done. I like it a lot now but resent the position of my hands on the handlebar, as they are not in a ergonomic/comfortable posture and would like to sit a bit more straight.
I will post pics once I complete the work
I for one would appreciate pics and details (parts needed and suppliers) please help as I agree that I would use the bike a lot more if I was more comfortable. I am a 66 year old rider and this position puts my hands to sleep after 10 or so miles. Love the bike however!

Reading through the owners manual for the third time while patiently waiting for the SR/F to arrive, I have noticed two small things that I am not sure was mentioned here

1) The turn signals are auto canceling.  Nice feature for those of us whose memory is not like it used to be when they were younger.

2) The keys are chip keys.  This may be a pain for some who have a tendency to lose keys but it may save a little on insurance and help with theft.
I have not found my turn signals to be self cancelling. If this is supposed to be a feature it is not working on my SR/F. I wish it would however since I often forget to cancel them.

I saw it cancel itself in one of the ride review videos.  It takes about 1 minute for it to happen.  Also you have to be moving forward for that minute being that it how it senses when to turn it off.  So it is either a bug in the software why it is not cancelling or wasn't left on for over a minute while moving.
Left on for much more than a minute. Tried this several times yesterday and under different lean in turns. Nothing, had to cancel manually. I have put over 300 miles on the bike at this time almost all city and country back roads. Also have had two software update and still no self cancelling!

The turn signal is a switch that slides side to side.  It is located directly under the larger mode switch that also slides side to side.  Operating the mode switch when intending to make a turn helps nobody.  Even after I caught myself erroneously using the mode switch, I still hit it at the next several uses.  I will continue to concentrate on using the proper switch and train my thumb.

The rear brake does not have as much authority as I expect.  Granted, this is my first sporty bike.  It might be a characteristic of the bike style.  The front brakes *certainly* has authority in abundance.  Does the ABS affect the rear?


Most of the braking is always in the front--by far--on any bike. Any yes, the ABS has to work with both brakes.

BTW, does the SR/F have self- cancelling turn signals?

No self cancelling turn signals!
