General Operation
Pre-Ride Inspection
Before operating the Zero S/DS motorcycle, check the
following to make sure the motorcycle is secure and
intact:
•
Power Pack
Make sure the instrument panel charge indicator
is indicating a charged power pack. If the charge
indicator reads below 6 bars (1/2), we suggest
you recharge before use. Always keep the
charger cord with the motorcycle.
•
Drive Belt
Check the belt tension and condition. See Drive
Belt on page 5-10.
•
Drive Chain (Optional)
Check the chain tension and condition. Adjust and
lubricate if necessary. The drive chain must be
cleaned and lubricated at the intervals specified
in the maintenance schedule; otherwise it will
quickly wear out, especially when riding in dusty
or wet areas. See Drive Chain on page 5-14.
