OK, it's summer in the UK - but I fired up the VX1 having been in the garage and not charging for a few days to find the above indicators flashing once the bike was energised. I'n use, the bike performed normally, although the icons flashed in sync for the whole journey - I've no need to recharge, yet - but the warnings do appear spurious.

Support V is for Voltage
Hi Buzby
Was the V wet at any stage? Do you have cold nights and condensation forms inside windows? Does the V live in a damp garage or shed?
You probably have corrosion on the front battery monitoring board. The result is that the V will refuse to charge.
-Take the body-work off, lift the lid and remove back and front battery packs. Carefully.............. HIGH VOLTAGE!
-Clean up the corrosion and seal with spray-on epoxy.
-Now seal up the big and small holes on the front of the frame below the headstock, inside and out, and test the fix by powering the V up.
-Try to seal up the cable entry below the handlebars where the front battery board wires exit the battery area.
-Re-assemble the rest of the bike.
-Test again.
Cheers
Paul
