X-9000 Install



Initial X9K app setup.  Easier and smoother to setup than a KO Controller



First after install

I heard that EVs are on the decline lately and hybrids are what everyone wants now.  Hydrogen still not there yet we're all waiting for that magic battery or magic green hydrogen.

I have heard the same thing. With a hybrid you don't have to go looking for a working EV charging station and I think that that word is getting around to the buying customer. They would like to be green, but they don't want to run out of a battery charge somewhere in the boondocks and need a tow to a charging facility, or need to make a long stop somewhere during their trip while their car recharges.

As for hydrogen, it might work out for large vehicles and power stations, but as a fuel for a personal automobile it sucks.

Trying once again for a successful reply.

The bike doesn't power up at all?  If that's the case it's possible the batteries have self-discharged to the point where the overall voltage is too low.  Can you check the individual battery voltages and report back with the results?

I learned the hard way that it isn't a good idea to let these bikes sit for long periods of time without checking the SoC every two to three weeks.  Even that can be misleading.  It's actually better to also check the high and low cell group voltages as well.  While the overall SoC may be fine, a weak battery may have individual cell groups with low voltage that won't be noticed without going into the secondary menu of the charging screen.
