Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Zero SR 2016 OBD-II interface
« on: December 22, 2020, 02:35:22 AM »
Has anyone had any experience trying to get OBD information out of their Zero?

I'm trying to get the throttle position out of my 2016 Zero SR

I bought one of these - https://freematics.com/products/freematics-obd-ii-uart-adapter-mk2/
And I supplied power to pin 16 of the OBD port as by default it has now power.

I've been trying the test program with an Arduino (changed the PID to PID_THROTTLE rather than PID_RPM) but can't even get the thing to initialise. It just fails no matter what I try.

I even tried plugging in one of those bluetooth OBD2 dongles. It powered up and my phone could talk to the dongle, but it wouldn't sync with the bike.

On the other hand, I've been able to get a serial connection to the MBB via the OBD port, but this doesn't directly offer the information I require.

Is it just that the OBD port on the Zero is not really wired up for regular OBD comms?

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Zero insurance in the UK
« on: July 07, 2020, 06:51:02 PM »
Hi all,

I've just put down a deposit on a Zero SR and am really excited to get my hands on the bike.

Does anyone have any suggestions about insurance? (I'm in the UK)
So far I've tried dozens of companies but they all either won't touch the bike or will only insure it with a crazy excess (£1000+)
BeMoto have given the best quote so far with a reasonable excess value. But they want all sorts of security stipulations (such as keeping the bike in the back garden which is going to be a massive pain)

I've been riding 20+ years, have full no claims, never had an accident.

Any advice gratefully received.

(I know there have been previous insurance threads, but they seemed quite circular, didn't resolve much and haven't been commented on in over 8 months)
