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?
