Your throttle should be a simple Magura linear potentiometer model that is a commodity item you can get from a few different vendors, and can be troubleshot pretty easily:

Awesome, thanks for the info, I did find on here that you can put a 5k pot in its place to test, ordered some of those.
I also found out there is a light on the motor controller, going to check that to see if there is any error codes.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2012 and older / 2011 Zero S no throttle response
« on: July 17, 2020, 06:01:09 AM »
Hey guys, I picked up a 2011 Zero S a little over a year ago, the battery was going bad so the guy sold it to me for cheap. It could only go like 5 miles so I was able to ride it home. It then sat for over a year with no power, battery died completely. I got my hands on some Nissan Leaf cells and rebuilt the battery, that all went easy! The problem I have is I get no response from the throttle at all. I go thru the startup procedure in the manual, and nothing. I get no error messages, the lights on the battery are great, get one beep from bms when you turn it on which says it passed self test. The little red triangle isnt doing anything at all.
I was going to test the throttle wires next, but before I did that I was wondering if there was an easier way to find out what is going on?
I think the newer ones have bluetooth, does the 2011?
If I plug an obd scanner on the port, will that give me any info on what could be wrong?
Do the throttle on these just die from sitting too long?
Lots of questions ;)
Thanks!
