2011 Zero S Overview

Zero S is a naked bike motorcycle. On the performance side, it delivers. Top speed is factory-quoted at 108 km/h. On the road, the 2011 S tips the scales at 135 kg, offers a seat height of 832 mm and spans a 1410 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 70.9 kg lighter than the average naked bike motorcycle in our database. The full 2011 Zero S spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2011 S - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Low-maintenance final drive: Running Transmission Clutchless one speed Drive system 98T / 28T, Poly Chain GT Carbon belt Drive system (accessory) 51T / 13T, 420 Chain final drive cuts out the regular chain cleaning and tensioning that most bikes need.

Considerations

Tall seat height: At 832 mm, shorter riders will likely be on tiptoes at a standstill - worth sitting on one before you buy.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Brake disc and pad wear

Braking up front comes from Single 310mm disc, 2 piston caliper - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The S's suspension runs Telescopic forks at the front. The rear uses Mono shock. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

The S uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.

Low-speed handling

135 kg keeps the S easy to move around in tight spaces, car parks and on the stand alike.

S - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2011 Zero S, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy S should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects a S's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
