Budget sliders
Any budget slider options? Anything compatible off another bike with the Z7?
Z7 Hybrid Accessory Connector
Saw the post where someone installed the wireless charger and got intrigued, so I decided to install one while I had the fairings off to install the T-Rex radiator guards.
For anyone wondering, on my bike the white wire tested positive and the black wire tested negative. It may seem obvious, but it’s definitely worth verifying with a multimeter before wiring anything up.
You can simply crimp the pins onto the wiring, but I highly recommend adding a small dab of solder where the wire meets the pin just to make it a more permanent and reliable connection. Also make sure to double check polarity before inserting the pins into the connector, it’s really difficult to de-pin afterward.
Best score ever!
Apparently Amazon Haul has $.04 days… so I grabbed some LED lights. Finally got a chance to install today!
Electric drive system malfunction
Bike got rained on overnight and the check engine light along with the electric drive system malfunction light came on. Is this a wait for any water that might be in the bike to evaporate in the garage and the it'll go away or take it in to the shop type situation? Had to drive it home and there didn't seem to be any issues. I avoided using ev mode and the e boost but the auto shift, alpf, and everything else seemed to run fine.
Anyone else's experience would be appreciated.
48V access…
I got curious about this connector on the side. Seeing as it shares the same purple shrouding as the 48V battery I figured it was a safe bet it was connected to the 48V battery. The multimeter confirmed the voltage…
Is this what the dealer uses to charge the battery? I’ve never seen the service manual so I’m not sure.
Best MPG
Best tank MPG yet. I think she’s got a little more in her, but I cant resist Sport Mode (from time to time). 🤘
Lower ride height
Howdy, has anyone here lowered the ride height of their z7 or Ninja? My wife wants to ride this after me buying and finding out it’s automatic. She’s on the shorter side and lowering it would make it a much easier ride for her. I’ve found a lowering link but wasn’t sure if anyone has done it and seen any performance/handling changes. TIA.
Be careful with curbs and our long wheelbase
Took a drop my bike handled fine before, forgetting I had a passenger this time.
Is 56.4v our EV battery max?
I rarely get a full charge on my 48v traction battery, but this time I was in sport for almost an hour. Weird the graphic doesn't show as full, so wondering if anyone has seen higher? Seems like the right spot the battery management would keep it.
