Your design is hot! This looks awesome. I'm totally ignorant on 3D printing, but would buy this in a heartbeat.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Always-on 12v (not switched)
« on: November 17, 2021, 08:41:05 PM »
Hi all!
Was looking at some dashcams, and some ask for two 12v connections: one directly to a conventional 12v battery, and another for ignition-switched 12v. I know where to find switched 12v on my 2019 FXS, but was curious if there exists a non-switched 12v on the bike?

« on: November 04, 2021, 11:33:14 PM »This all feels wrong. I wonder if their engineers are proud of this..
I've had narrow eyes at the connectivity of the SR/* bikes since they came out, and now I know Zero's headed in the wrong direction for me. *sigh* I'll love the cypher II innocence while it lasts. I want no part of software unlocks or internet connected motorcycles, to be honest.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Defeating the kickstand switch by taping a magnet

Thanks for chiming in with real world experience. I wonder why OEMs would prefer a hall effect sensor over a physical, binary switch. :shrug:

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Defeating the kickstand switch by taping a magnet
« on: September 15, 2021, 10:03:40 PM »
Hi all,
I recently had the pleasure of taking my FXS to a kart track and it was an absolute blast. However, the biggest paint point was the kickstand that majorly limited lean angle when turning left (and required hanging way off the bike to keep from dragging it).
Anyhoo, I plan to remove the kickstand for my next track ride, but have the issue of the kickstand safety switch. Previous posts on the forum seem to focus on modifications, whereas I was hoping to simply give the switch what it wants — likely by taping a magnet to the sensor (since it currently senses the magnet on the kickstand). I was curious if anyone else has gone this route and if anyone has recommendations there? I admit, I do fear what happens if my hack fails mid-ride and the bike suddenly concludes that the non-existent kickstand is down…

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: CF13-CF14 blinker relay
« on: June 01, 2021, 06:07:30 AM »…
Can you confirm (photos of the nameplate side and the pins would be ideal, if they don't match what I listed in the manual article) what the stock relay you replaced was?
Here are photos of the stock flasher relay in my 2019 FXS (which shows the -, L, + ordering).
An aside: because I ended up buying a relay from AutoZone with the other pin layout, I swapped the pins on my bike’s connector to use the AutoZone relay.

Just chiming in with a 2019 FXS — I just removed my flasher relay and can confirm another in-the-wild 2018+ bike with an E- on the left, L on the top, and B+ on the right.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Zero S/SR 3rd party chargers - why did you pick what you did?
« on: May 16, 2021, 06:26:13 AM »
I often see the Elcon/TC chargers recommended in these threads, but it’s still unclear to me how to get one. I’ve been to sites like elconchargers.com — I’m curious what inputs buyers provide to them to end up with an appropriate charger — just the kwh of the battery, and the desired charging wattage? Do they ship them with the Zero battery connector?

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Recommended FXS preload tool?
« on: July 18, 2020, 02:53:29 AM »
Can anyone recommend a good tool for adjusting rear preload for the FXS. Looks tight with little room. I’m hoping to adjust preload regularly (2-up, top case, just me, etc).
Thanks!
Thanks!

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: FX/FXS rack kit?
« on: May 05, 2020, 08:45:23 AM »
Man, I hate that nut-and-bolt solution for mounting that rack. I mean, once in-place it’s great! But installing it and removing it is really clumsy.
Congrats on the rack tho! It makes the bike so much more useful!

« on: May 05, 2020, 08:38:02 AM »
I’ve done about 600 miles with my old Pelican 1550 bolted directly to the OEM rack. Not an elegant mounting solution, definitely not easily-removable. But I <3 it and it’s a pretty large case that’s well-supported by the rack’s mounting surface area.

Thanks all! A T20 removed the retaining pin — and once the inside pad drops it’s an easy off. Much appreciated!

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / 2019 FXS Front Caliper Removal
« on: May 05, 2020, 05:26:28 AM »
Hi all!
I was just trying to remove the front caliper on my 2019 FXS to lube the back of the brake pads in hopes I can lessen the embarrassing (and hand-vibrating) howl that happens _all_ _the_ _time_...
Anyhoo, ignoring that, I’m encountering the first bike I’ve had where the caliper doesn’t appear to actually fit between the rotor and the wheel — so after removing the caliper mounting bolts, I’m unable to remove the caliper. I was about to start removing the rotor since that seems the only path to success I can see. But I thought I’d ping the experts.
Do you need to remove the front rotor to remove the front caliper on the FXS?

Curious — how loud is the cooling system on those bulbs? I’m pretty ignorant on LED headlamp options/performance, but I happened to discover this kit from Rolling Wrench yesterday:
