Frequently Asked Questions - DSR (2018) Zero

What is the range of the Zero DSR 2018?

Range depends on riding style, speed, terrain, and temperature. Official values are given for urban and highway cycles. See manual for precise figures (e.g., approximately 160 km in city). Factors: ECO mode increases range, SPORT reduces it.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

With the standard onboard charger, full charge time is typically under 10 hours (depending on capacity). The optional fast charger reduces time by 75%. It is recommended to recharge after each use and unplug once fully charged to optimize battery life.

Can I use a standard household outlet to charge?

Yes, the onboard charger plugs into a standard AC outlet (120 V or 240 V). Use only the supplied cable. Do not use an unsuitable extension cord.

What is the battery lifespan?

The Z-Force® battery is designed to last the life of the motorcycle. Normal capacity loss is expected over time. To maximize its lifespan, recharge after each use, store it charged (60% if long storage), and avoid extreme temperatures.

How to maintain the drive belt?

Regularly check belt tension and condition. Adjust tension using the provided tools (wrenches). If worn or damaged, replace with an original Zero belt. See the 'Drive Belt' section of the manual.

What to do if the ABS warning light stays on?

If the ABS light does not turn off after exceeding 5 km/h, ABS is disabled or faulty. Stop the motorcycle, turn off the ignition, wait 5 seconds, then turn it back on. If the problem persists, contact an authorized Zero dealer.

Can I customize the performance?

Yes, via the Zero smartphone app (available on iOS and Android). You can adjust the CUSTOM mode (acceleration, regeneration, max speed) and view riding data. Bluetooth must be paired.

How to use the parking brake?

If equipped, the parking brake is on the left side. To engage, pull the lever outward; to disengage, push it inward. Always use on a flat, stable surface.

What are the performance modes and how to change them?

Three modes: ECO (maximum range, gentle acceleration), SPORT (high performance, low regeneration), CUSTOM (customizable). Press the MODE button on the right handlebar control to switch between them. The change activates after releasing the throttle.

What to do if the motorcycle does not start?

Check that the key is ON, the engine stop switch is ON, the side stand is up, and the battery is charged. If the error light comes on, consult error codes in the manual. For major issues, contact a dealer.
