Hi all, 2 weeks ago - around the time it was pretty hot (35+ degrees) here- my 12v battery of my 2024 DSR/X died. It only gives 9.5v now but as a result the system won't start up. I am in contact with my dealer which just let me know that the (expensive! 225 euro) battery is in backorder and Zero does not know when it will be available, which I find very worrying. Does anyone have any experience with this situation? The battery was less then 2 years old and I kept it on a Lithium trickel charger during winter storage. Is there a suitable replacement for it?

I have a 2021 SR/S Premium (no Power Tank) and have two questions:

1. Where is the front 12V accessory connector?

According to the owner's manual, there are two 12V accessory connectors. I've found the rear one under the seat (wrapped in a thick black sleeve), but I can't locate the front one that's supposed to be near the steering head/handlebar area.

Is it accessible without removing body panels, or do the panels have to come off?

My goal is to power a handlebar-mounted phone (MagSafe) and my radar detector from the front accessory connector instead of running both from the USB-A ports in the frunk.

2. Where is the OBD-II port?

I've looked around the frunk, under the seat, and around the steering head, but I haven't been able to find it. I'd like to access battery information (SOC, cell voltages if available, temperatures, fault codes, etc.).

If you're using the OBD-II port:

• Where exactly is it located?
• Is it accessible without removing panels?
• Which OBD adapter and app are you using?

I currently own an OBDLink CX, although I realize it may or may not be compatible with Zero's CAN bus.

Photos or pointers would be greatly appreciated, especially if you've located either the front 12V connector or the OBD port on a 2021 SR/S Premium without the Power Tank.

I've searched the owner's manual and several Facebook and Reddit threads, but I still haven't found a definitive location for either connector on the 2021 SR/S. Before I start removing body panels, I thought I'd ask the community in case there's an easier way.

Anyone experiencing this? 2022 SR, this happens whether connected to the bike or not. Unable to view, select or edit ride modes in app, the app simply crashes and quits out.

The app also won’t allow me to log out, have tried unpairing / repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling completely also doesn’t fix the issue.

I was searching for the wiki the other day but couldn't find it (https://zeromanual.com) anymore. Does anyone know what happened?

I found the information I needed on the wayback machine. If anyone else needs it: https://web.archive.org/web/20250610054429/https://zeromanual.com/wiki/Main_Page

I’d really like to know more about Zero motorcycle’s lineup, but they do not make it easy to figure out what segment each of their bikes is in. Getting really frustrated by the fact that their website just shows you names and images and makes you go digging into each bike’s page to find out any details.

Is the S Line all sports bikes or are there naked bikes in there too? All it tells me is “street“, which is also used to describe a dual sport looking bike.

The other three lines of bikes… are they all dual sport? Or is there some difference that the website is not showing me? Because it looks like they just have 6+ variations of the same dual sport bike with no easy way to really tell on the site how they compare in terms of intended use.

This is to confirm some things I have read. I have a 2020 SRF. Love it but I still want a gas bike this next year main thing is range anxiety and charging.

​

Currently my school is around 28 miles away from home and my job is 39 miles from home.... I feel comfortable riding it to school and back but the ride to work and back did one time to a place nearby it was hell. I was worried about my charger the entire way and I was on eco.

​

I understand freeway make it different going 70-80mph for 40 miles there and back should be fine looking at what zero says but it's not.

​

So wanting to know what y'all use your zero for as right now for me it's late night rides around town but I need and want more any advice...

Also thinking about getting a MT-09 yahmaha for my next thoughts?
