Need the backrest for a SR/F. What you posted was for the pad only. Couldn't find the required fitting kit on the website. I'll keep looking, Thanks.

Is it possible to attach a backrest for the pillion without installing a top case? I've looked around and there does not seem to be anything available.

Thanks for the recommendations. Installed the Oxfords and they are fine. Getting tad cold in Minnesota now.

For a bike like that, stylistically I would go with something like Oxford's premium hand guards. I've found that they offer superior wind protection than the off road guards I had before and being bar ends they're going to fit.

Thanks.

Has anyone installed hand guards on their SR/F? Zero doesn't have any, and most accessory sites I've visited do not or have a disclaimer on the universal guards stating they may fit with or without modification.

Picked up the SR/F yesterday. The tech said the cost of the parts exceeded $8000, $5000 for the power pack. Glad everything was under warranty. The bike rides great. Took it on a short trip through some twisties and had a ball. The tech also said even though the battery was labeled 14.4 KW, he said he unlocked a feature applicable to the 2022 models and gave me 20% more range. Nice to know. Range indicated 111 miles after I rode for 17 miles. Hope everyone else has a positive experience with getting their bike repaired.

The end is in sight. After resolving a number of issues with the MBB interfacing with the power pack, everything looks good except Zero wants them to charge the pack to 100% then take it for a test ride. I suspect they are only using level 1 charging so it won't be ready until tomorrow morning. Confirmed the battery capacity is the same 14.4KW, but it's using a different configuration.

Cities Edge called and said the bike should be ready tomorrow. They had a question concerning the front brake light switch recall. Told them Heinen Motorsports did it last year. They told me it wasn't cleared through Zero and if they needed to do it, they wouldn't release the bike to me until they could get the part in. Called Heinen and they remembered changing the switch but not notifying Zero. Cities Edge verified the switch was changed by examining it and Zero was notified. Just one more reason why Heinen Motorsports drives me insane.

The service rep at Cities Edge said the power pack came with other components. Wondering if the logs revealed another problem or if the additional parts are needed for this new power pack. The rep also told me they had changed other Zero power packs but not a SR/F.

Just got the news today the power pack arrived at the dealer. Told me to bring it in on Monday and it should be completed by the end of the week. Wonder if I'll get the 17.3 Kwh battery instead of the original 14.4?

Sorry for the long delay in responding. I went to Canada for a fishing trip then called Zero on June 9. The tech said the power pack definitely needed to be changed and told me it would most likely be shipped the following Monday. A dealer in the Twin Cities called just now and told me Zero gave him a tracking number and the pack should arrive this Friday, June 16. Things are moving much faster than I had expected. Hooray!

The Zero Tech just responded to my last message with the logs. He is recommending the power pack should be changed and to bring it to the dealer. I replied and asked if this could wait until the fall.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / 2020 SR/F Performance Issues
« on: May 27, 2023, 04:00:25 AM »
I've noticed a significant decrease in performance for my SR/F. The first two years were fine, except for the huge delay from a dealer to do the brake switch recall. This April I noticed immediate performance problems. 95% SOC indicated a range of only 42 miles and I'd get the magic charging problem. Also noticed the acceleration wasn't as quick and the top speed was only 105mph.

Emailed Zero and a technician asked me to charge the bike to 100%, ride until depleting the battery, wait 30 minutes, then charge back to 100% and send in the logs. When I rode, the top speed was 106 and the acceleration was good but not what I experienced the first two years of ownership. After waiting 30 minutes, I turned on the bike and the display indicated 27% SOC and a range of 18 miles. That was the largest case of magic charging I had seen. Hopefully Zero can resolve this issue without me traveling a couple hours to a dealer.

Does this sound like a battery problem or something else?

Terribly sorry for not being more specific. I made the last post during a card game and used my phone.
Anyway, Zero responded to my email and included a .pdf of the manual that detailed the black and yellow keys. I asked for more information and an engineer sent a couple pages from their manual that detailed how to use the yellow key to activate the black keys. File is attached.

Bike works. Zero took care of me.
