6-7
If the throttle is disabled while riding, the motorcycle
will cease to provide power, and the operator must
pull over to a safe location.
All conditions which would cause the BMS to disable
the throttle are also signaled by an error beep pattern
at self-test. If you suspect that the BMS has disabled
the throttle control on your motorcycle, turn the key
switch OFF and back ON again to enter self-test
mode. The beep pattern from the BMS will report any
of the error conditions which would cause the BMS to
disable the throttle.
Each of these conditions, the associated self-test
beep pattern, and the suggested remedies, are
discussed in Understanding Beep Sequences on
page 6-3.

The Charger Disable Interlock
When the charger is attached and plugged in to AC
power, the BMS communicates with the charger. The
BMS can send a signal to the charger requesting that
charging terminate immediately. When the charger is
disabled, the indicator lights on the charger will show
that charging has stopped.
There are two conditions that will cause the BMS to
disable charging. One of these conditions is also
reported by a self-test result beep pattern; the other is
not.
Too Hot
If the BMS detects high internal power pack
temperatures, it will both disable the throttle and
prevent charging. This condition is also reported by
an error beep pattern after BMS self-test when the
motorcycle is turned ON. See Understanding Beep
Sequences on page 6-3 for a description of the Too
Hot error beep and the solutions.
