Thanks, I finally got it to work, not sure why it wasnt earlier.

Thanks, I finally got it to work, not sure why it wasnt earlier.

For my 2016 SR, the bike has to be "on" for it to work.  In charging mode, the phone sees the bike's bluetooth but the app kills the connection.  If the key is in the on position, I can get it to connect and change "custom" settings.

Of course, the app still thinks it's a 2013, and after that first day where I got it to work and set my "custom" top speed to 80mph, I haven't opened the app since...

   I had an issue where mine would start then "crash". I finally figured that if i stopped trying to access the opening screen,
all other screens and options seem to work. I thought that the screen might not have been programmed for HD.
I recently switched to a OnePLus Two phone, and, that screen seems to work, so, may just have been that the bike didn't
get along with my Note 3 and Lollipop. Mine is a 2013, so, I wouldn't notice if the year was wrong.
I DO notice that when the app first fires up, or, is in Demo mode or, hasn't yet connected to the bike that a "generic" S Model
is on that screen.
   If the bike is charging, everything seems to work the same as if it is turned on. Again, it may be something with it being a 2013.
My DigiNow dongle also works while off and charging.

My 2016 SR works word for word like Eolas does (above). I do think they need to do an update to try to work out some of the bugs. but I do love the app. when I'm charging I love the way that I can check the status in my house and not have to go outside to see what state of charge it is at. all I'm thinking of is when the warmer weather is coming. I have to be at work no latter then 6:00 am and its been around 26* and being from Las Vegas I'm just to much of a wimp to ride and it makes me so depressed. . I hope everybody is enjoying there Zero like I am..

I have an older phone mounted on the handlebar to use as my "dash". The only thing that I look at the instrument cluster for is the speed.
I don't do speed on the phone as it is redundant to the bike's speedometer. I don't really "need" all 5 windows, it would be nice to be able
to choose fewer larger windows, or, more smaller windows. I realize that several of the app features are redundant, but, my 2013 FX has fewer
options on the dash than the newer models.

[melbrader]

Yes I agree with more options for what you want to see on the screen. I just got my mount to hold my iPhone 6 plus so we will see how that works but its been kind of cold up here in Las Vegas so not riding much.   Are you all getting time to ride in the winter time? or is it just me that just cant handle to cold.

[KrazyEd]

I actually took the FX out yesterday for a few miles. Battery temperature was 61 degrees, but, range was absolutely horrid.
Not sure if it is just overall cold,  battery starting to weaken, or, needs to be exercised. Bike was at 91%, plugged in 2nd charger,
and, between the two, topped off to 100%. Previously when riding consistently, I would get about a mile on the first 3%, then,
maybe another mile on the next 2%. After that, it was about 1% per mile overall. Yesterday, it dropped from 100 to 97 after
.4 miles. Then to 95 by the end of the first mile. Total ride was 5 or 6 miles, and, it had dropped to 86%. Seldom if ever went
over 30 amps, mostly in the single digits, so, wasn't because of hard riding.

[melbrader]

I think that it is the cold because I have been riding an electric scooter now for 5 years and that is very common with the electric scooters. so I think you should be good when it starts to warm up. The next time I go out riding I will see what I get per percentage just for fun and will let you know. My next 3 days I will have off and I will be out riding  with a smile on my face thinking how lucky I am in owning a Zero.....

What do you actually get as your 100% charge? I'm in the same boat as you and only got 14.5 kWh on 100% - about freaked out and posted another thread on here - dealer is 2 hrs away and I barely have time to take it there to pick it up, let alone repairs -

   I went by when they opened on Saturday. Talked with Mikey, and, Tommy ( I think ) both seemed like nice guys.
Put my FX out this morning to warm the batteries a bit, am going to ride over there now with the FX to show them
what a 2013 FXs looks like. lol

[melbrader]

I just checked mine and it shows 14.49 for a 2016SR with tank at 100% charged.

[Richard230]

My 2014 S has a nominal capacity of 14.2 kWh.  Fully charged the Zero app says my PT bike has 13.34 kWh.  It sounds like your bike is right on the money, considering your cells are a little more power dense than mine.   

[Eolas]

My coldest ride so far was 31 degrees, and the 2016 SR went from 100% to 61% on the ride to work (32 miles).  It's part of why I waited 'til the 2016, I wanted the extra battery size as a safety margin, so I'd know any time of year, I could make it to work and back if I needed to...

[melbrader]

Eplas,
Does your SR have the tank? because being cold it seems that you are doing good on the distance. My last trip last night with a passenger it was 29 miles and I had 74% left but I have the tank and it was in town driving.

[melbrader]

Has any of you had a chance to use this map to show the Zero family. I think its pretty cool and hope that everybody uses it that has a Zero motorcycle that way we can see it grow over the years.

Nope, I waited for the 2016 in part because it'd have enough range to get me to work and back without the tank... and almost my whole commute is highway miles, but no passenger.
