The Zero throttle is a very straightforward twist-grip motorcycle control that operates a sensor instead of pulling on a mechanical cable or operating hydraulics.
Zero switched the throttle supplier from a [[Magura Throttle|Magura]] with a linear potentiometer to a [[Bitron Throttle|Bitron]] with a Hall-effect sensor in 2015 which changed how the wiring works.
;Connections
:The Zero throttle connects directly to the [[Gen2/Motor Controller|controller]], so anything you do related to the throttle signal can compromise the operation of the bike if there's an electrical fault or discrepancy.
: '''Example:''' [http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=6548 Sudden braking followed by no motor/throttle response on highway[2016 FXS]]
;Customization
: See [[Drive Modes]] to customize throttle input interpretation as an owner.
: Use the mode control for "Custom" mode on 2014+ or "Eco" on earlier models to set the maximum torque the throttle applies.
:: This also directly changes how quickly torque ramps up for a given throttle twist/position.
;Advanced Customization
: The Sevcon motor [[Gen2/Motor Controller|controller]] settings are where most of the throttle interpretation happens.
;Replacement
:TODO...
;Assembly
: The return spring cannot be tensioned while disassembled throttle is on the handlebar. Throttle must be removed to place the spring end correctly. see video from Harlan Flagg: https://www.facebook.com/harlanflagg/videos/1364143910276196/
;Troubleshooting
:[http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=6382.msg49746#msg49746 One report of a "snatchy" throttle] turned out to have this explanation:
:: There is a black adjusting screw which holds the pinion gear of the throttle in place or for adjustment.
:: The pinion gear had moved to the right and caused the spring clip for throttle return to pop out of the slot.
:: This was clicking through the gears and causing a notchy throttle feel.
:: Resolution: Reset the pinion location and tighten the screw.
