Sorry, I should have posted this guide in this topic.

Energica / Re: 12 Volt Module and RF inteference with Bike.

I just received this PDF on how to connect 12V devices from my dealer.

Experia USB & OBD ports are on the same fuse...and it's 15amps....assuming the other bikes would be similar..??
Smithy.
What about the AUX outputs next to the fuse box on the Experia?

« on: February 22, 2024, 01:04:56 AM »Under the right front side panel, in front of the fuse box there are, like 3, open connectors to attach accessories to. I have my heated gear connected to one. No need to repurpose USB ports or anything like that.
What kind of connectors are on the 3 AUX ones? Bare wire, screw terminals, SAE, something else? And where is a good ground?
I want to connect both heated gloves and a dash cam to my new ex-demo Experia.

Tech Help / Re: Zero DSR 2018 charge blowing home circuit breaker
« on: January 03, 2021, 08:12:07 PM »
OK, that's what we call in the UK a residual current detector. It picks up currents returning through the neutral wire. Those are built into the panel with the circuit breakers. Although my panel is so old it doesn't have a separate RCD.
It looks like there is a transient current on start up that is triggering the circuit breaker. It is too quick to blow the 13A fuse.
The Zero is now charging through the charge tank from a public charging point. It is only the charger connected to the kettle plug that is playing up.

What is a GFI? Is it the same as an RCD?
Do you have a GFI on your circuit? There have been reports in the past that a sensitive GFI can cause the circuit to cut off when using the OBC.

I tried again on the upstairs sockets, with nothing else plugged in. The circuit breaker triggered as soon as I turned on the power. (Note that these are 32A 240V circuits. The 13A fuse in the plug didn't blow.)
Also, if it's not the only thing on the circuit... You said downstairs outlets. You really don't want it sharing wiring with much of anything at all.
It's like a space heater. Put two on any shared circuits and you'll have this crop up.

Tech Help / Zero DSR 2018 charge blowing home circuit breaker
« on: January 02, 2021, 11:26:43 PM »
Today I started charging my Zero DSR from a 13 A socket at home (at 239 V), when the battery was 45% charged.
When it got to 51%, the circuit breaker in my house for the downstairs sockets cut out. I tried again, with everything else on the circuit switched off - it happened again. I tried a different cable (instead of the long cable that came with the bike). Again the circuit breaker cut out.
What could be causing the circuit breaker to blow? What should I investigate?
This may not be related, but when I started charging, the estimated time to completion occasionally changed from 7.21 hours down to 5.30 hours and back again. The air temperature was 2 C.

Thank you. That is helpful. I was worried about the ABS (higher than the reservoir).

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / How to bleed rear brake on Zero DSR
« on: July 29, 2020, 08:34:01 PM »
I may have to bleed my rear brake, as I have to press down hard on the foot pedal to get any braking. After checking the surface of the brake pads, the next step will be to bleed the rear brake.
But I cannot find any instructions on how to bleed the rear brake. There is nothing in the unofficial manual and all the official DSR is a warning: "Your motorcycle is equipped with ABS. You can only bleed
the brake system if fluid still remains in the HCU (Hydraulic Control Unit).
Bleeding a dry HCU requires an evacuation and fluid fill machine."
So how do I bleed it?

The DSR Black Forest comes with Givi fog lights. LED ones are 14W each.

Why do we even have a running light, when the headlight is on all the time?

I looked up OBD2. Understood.
But when I looked up BMS in zeromanual.com it is the battery management system under the tank, not a connector behind the tank and in front of the 12V DC converter. So what is in the second and third photos?

The charge tank is the problem. Getting it off is hard. I cannot turn my Allen key.
