I never got a chance to fiddle with anything electronic, just building a crate and stuffing it with racetrack guff like tyre warmers, tool boxes, battery chargers, leathers, helmet, gloves, leathers etc.
I have the inverter set up as described, but when the bike is turned off, the DC Bus takes 2.5 minutes to fully discharge. On the occasion I produced an error (while playing with the throttle settings) the inverter opened the main contactor, and threw two faults - I only know this because the laptop was plugged in, I have no way of knowing otherwise. The first was the Accel_Hi vaule out of range (OK, I knew why) but the other was Inverter Discharge Active. I don't know how rapidly it discharged, because I wasn't standing there with the seat cowling off, multimeter in hand, attempting to measure the DC Bus without killing myself.
The inverter OK relay which is driven by J2-15 has an LED across the coil. At start-up, this LED always lights up ~300 ms after the quarter and half contactors are closed, as per the manual. If it throws a fault and the main contactor is opened, the LED is not lit. So I figure it's doing it's job.
I might just check the precharge_output_EEPROM value when I have the bike uncrated and ensure it's set to 0. I no longer have the NC part of the HV relay in use, so I might as well give the relay a rest.
Got a couple of days paid work tomorrow and Friday, but will still be running around getting paperwork sorted so the bike can be collected.
Can't wait for the weekend
