General Operation
This section describes several items you should examine
before operation.
Pre-Ride Inspection
Before operating your Zero Motorcycle, check the
following to make sure the motorcycle is secure and intact:
•
Power Pack.
Make sure the charge indicator on the
lower dash is indicating a charged power pack. We
suggest you recharge before use. Always keep the
charger cord with the motorcycle.
•
Drive Belt.
Check the belt tension and condition.
Adjust if necessary. See
.
•
Brakes.
Squeeze the brake lever and press the brake
pedal individually while pushing the motorcycle to see if
it rolls. You should be able to lock-up the wheels
completely by applying the brakes.
•
Throttle.
With the key switch in the OFF position, apply
the throttle and release to verify that the throttle is
smooth and returns correctly.
•
Tires.
Check both tires for condition and tread depth.
Check cold tire pressure frequently. Check for damage
and alignment. Maintain correct tire pressure as
specified on
. Replace the tires when the
tread height is 0.08 in (2 mm) or less.
WARNING!
Under-inflation is a common cause of tire
failure and may result in severe tire cracking, tread
separation, “blowout,” or unexpected loss of motorcycle
control causing serious injury or death. Inspect tires
regularly to ensure proper inflation levels.
•
Electrical System
. Check for correct function of the
headlight, turn signals, and the brake/tail lights.
•
Protective Covers
. Confirm protective covers for
power pack diagnostic connector, Quick Charge
connector, and on-board charging connector are
installed correctly.
