I now own five EVs. Yeah, five. I am hopelessly hooked.
They are:
2017 Zero DS
2017 Zero SR (with pwr tank).
2018 Tesla M3, AWD, LR.
2020 Energica Esse Esse 9
2022 Chevy Bolt Hatchback.
I purchased the Chevy Bolt just two days ago. And it has a recall since yesterday!
Since you have the...
I don't recall ever seeing one that says "not compatible with motorcycles". Can you provide a link to such?
An EV charge station and motorcycle charger should not care at all that it is a motorcycle. J-1772, Tesla Wall and a 14-50R are mainly just all just 240 VAC supplies.
The only thing you...
I had no problem at all replacing the front wheel ABS sensor. Was an easy job.
My SR ABS light was on all the time while riding. So I checked the resistance of the rear ABS sensor and it was 50K ohm. I compared that to the front ABS sensor and it was infinite resistance showing it was open ...
Well, I have also heard several such stories, even here in Reno but not with the current shop. I purchased my Zero DS from a different shop where they obviously didn't have a clue how to work on them, caused some big complaints and they were no longer allowed to handle Zeros.
Perhaps what...
I have owned two Zeros a 2017 SR and a 2017 DS. Both have side cases and a travel trunk and crash bars are available from Zero, so I have no idea what you're even talking about. And service has been fine as well. I had my 2017 DS 6.5 battery replaced under warranty and got a 7.2 KWH for free...
I guess you will not use your bike for any long trips! I charge my 2017 SR above 7KW. That means I can take the bike for a reasonably long distance as long as I can find 240 VAC to charge with (either 14-50R, J-1772, Tesla destination) while in route.

Charging with 240 VAC with J1772 will be twice as fast. So if you already have the 240 VAC you can use the NEMA 14-50 cable from your Telsa and use the cheapest Tesla-Tap you can find, since you only need 12.5 amps at 240 VAC for 3,000 watts.
BTW, to use the Tesla Tap from a Tesla Wall...
Your cable the bike came with--what are the ratings listed on the box? Voltage range, current and/or watts?
And is your bike the 3KW or 6 KW version?
40 amps at 240 V is 9,600 watts. More than enough for either the 3K or the 6k model of the SR/S. Even 32 amps is more than enough as that is...
Doesn't the SR/S come with a charging cable?
I made my own for my SR so I can charge from 120 or 240 VAC when on the road, as high as 8KW with my SR and as high as 6.4 KW with my DS.
At home, I can charge my SR (with power tank) at ten KW (too much stuff to take on the road).
I often charge...
A common problem with the OBCs as they age. Try a Delta -Q charger and see if it then charges to full.
You didn't say what year your bike is. Older bikes are more likely to have the problem.
