When you think about it 1%/day is a lot of electrons going somewhere and generating heat in the process.  Maybe it is a design feature to keep something warm?  I don't think your average 18650  lithium battery loses that much of a charge/day

Very sorry to hear that Crissa.
Hope everything turns out well for you and everyone else in our poor state.
Take care.

Good Point Crissa.  Wouldn't Zero owners in Israel be posting problems on this forum?  At any rate, I am an extremely cautious rider out to enjoy the solitude and beauty of the Mt Shasta.  Using Topfusion to view the GPX file from my Garmin it said that I averaged 23 mph on that ride and that includes 12 miles on 89 which has a 65 mph speed limit. I rode my TW less than 500 miles in the last year so if I have problems with my FX then Zero has big problems. As long as Zero keeps selling bikes they will keep us happy.  Especially with the communications owners have on forums like this one.
By the way, Topofusion is a great piece of SW written by mountain bikers from I think New Mexico.  I've logged and saved most of my mountain bike and dirt bike rides for the last 10 or 15 years using it. It downloads your ride from Garmins and other GPSs, reads GPX files and displays them on a bunch of online maps. Give it a try for free. 

Thanks I’ll do what you suggested.  Do we really need to limit the charging time?  You would think that the onboard charger would shut off once it’s fully charged.
That’s a nice heavy duty timer for a lot less than a tp link hs 110.  I have control of so many devices from my iPhone that it’s getting ridiculous. The Kasa app that controls all kinds tp link of switches and bulbs is rock solid.

My first ride on my brand new 2020 FX  used 45% to go 45 miles in 2 hours.  A few bursts to 60.  Mostly pavement. Probably 10 miles on gravel and rocky roads. Coming from a TW200 this thing is scary fast in eco.  I’m not planning on going near sport mode.  I used a custom setting of 15% torque with max regen most of the way. Why don’t the custom settings stick.  The next day after recharging it was back at default 40% torque from 15%?

I now am now a 2020 FX owner which I purchased from MotoCorsa in Portland yesterday.
I’m not finding a newer FX owner thread and I’m wondering if I should I start one?
If there is one could someone point me to it.  Otherwise I’ll start one.
Thank again to Crissa and others for their advice which led me to the purchase. 

My bike is being uncrated in Portland.  I got the dealer to give me the out the door price on the 2020 0FX.  I'm hoping that Crissa of someone else can help me out with negotiating the price.  I know I'm going to pay the full factory $10,995 list.  The OOD price is $15,100 including $1495 Aegis Service Contract that I would never buy.  So minus Aegis OOD is $13,606.43. They want to hit me a $1299 freight charge which looks to me to be padded. Out of state sales tax and est. CA sales tax is $891+$55.  Title/license/registration and doc prep is $251+115. So it looks like I'm paying $13.606.  (I'm wondering if the est $55 tax might be sales tax on the Aegis service contract.)  Is a $1299 freight charge padded?  i'm wondering if i can get them to reduce the freight charge down to something closer to a grand.     At least they aren't trying to hit me with a dealer's prep charge.

My 2019 TW is beige.  That's where the similarities end.  The TW is the basically the same bike as when it first came out in 1987 except for a disc brake and a starter motor. I'll post a photo of them side by side when I get the 0FX.
Thanks for alleviating my concerns about purchasing such a powerful bike.  I ride mainly to get out and explore.  Not disturbing the wildlife and being able to hear was too tempting. Mt Shasta has been heavily logged for well over a century so the roads are endless.  It's fun to try and navigate to various points of interest.  I usually end up turning around before I get lost and going back home to download the GPX file to see where I was and where I should have turned. There are paved forest service roads that you can drive a 100 mile loop and see only 3 or 4 other vehicles.  I love the Medicine Lake area which is a huge shield volcano with points of interest like Little Glass Mountain that is pretty much pure obsidian.  The view from Little Mount Hoffman is well worth ride or drive.
