[[File:2016 Zero MBB Back.png|thumb|2016 Zero MBB Back]]
The Main Bike Board (MBB) controls the overall system, implements safety interlocks, and directs the controller.
: It is also the entry point for configuring these systems, performing diagnostics, and examining operational events.
: When referring to "the firmware", or "the logs", people are referring to this board primarily, and possibly the BMS.
: It is enclosed within a fully-potted plastic-like container with multi-pin connectors along the top side.
; Location (S Platform)
: Below the front area of the seat under cable runs.
: It is located aft of (and above) the [[DC-DC 12V Converter]] with a bracket sandwiched between them.

[[File:2017-S-Frame - Board Mounting Plate Right Bracket.png|thumb|100px|Board Plate Mounting Bracket (Right)]]
; Location (X Platform)
: Below the front modular battery (or front half of a longbrick battery) in the triangular bay above the controller.
; Mounting (S Platform)
: Two socket head bolts with washers fasten the enclosure to a vertical plate.
: The bolts enter the plate in the forward direction but offer very limited clearance for manipulating them.
: '''NOTE:''' on the right, the cables from the controller to the motor run past.
: A very small angled 3mm Allen Key wrench is best for unmounting the board.
; [[MBB_Console|Diagnostics]]
: When using the OBD2 port, the board's application firmware supplies the interactive [[MBB_Console|console]].
: [http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=3057 Playing with the 2012 MBB] shows Doctorbass' transcript using 2012 firmware.
:* 2013 models' interface differs quite a bit from this but the general logic and experience are the same.
; Protections
: The board appears to be permanently sealed and potted within the enclosure to protect it from dust and a certain amount of moisture ingress.
; Interlock Troubleshooting
: Use careful electrical isolation measures when troubleshooting electrical switches used as inputs for interlocks enforced by the firmware.
; Replacement
: The board must have its firmware setup specific to the bike in question.
: Major firmware difference exist across model years such that the firmware binary in question must be selected to prevent major problems on replacement.
:* '''NOTE:''' ''Apparently'' only the manufacturer can perform this provisioning (probably imaging the base kernel, userland, and application-container management).
: A dealer must select the correct and latest applicable ''application'' firmware to apply to the bike per its basic parameters:
:* Year
:* Model
:* Battery configuration
: Information from the bike's [[VIN Guide|VIN]] is necessary to select the right programming by the dealer or manufacturer.
:: This information may not be sufficient, if it requires coding in the presence of a [[Power Tank]] or [[Charge Tank]].
: The board settings require model information to be set per above, and the BMS must agree about this information.
