DS900X 2025 - Factory firmware (HMI 1.5 baseline)
Earlier 2025 production units shipped with HMI 1.5 / MCU SW -07 - the first widely-distributed firmware on the 2025/2026 hardware line. Replaced by HMI 1.8 / MCU SW -10.

Confirmed factory firmware loadout for an earlier 2025 production DS900X, reported by an owner on the Voge 900 DSX Facebook group with a full Menu → System → About screenshot before they applied the 1.8 update.
What’s on the bike
| Component | HMI 1.5 (this entry) | HMI 1.8 (Nov 2025 entry) |
|---|---|---|
| HW (hardware revision) | SS621-L8 | SS621-L8 |
| OS (dashboard OS) | SS621X15-OS-V2.3.2 | SS621X15-OS-V2.3.2 |
| HMI (UI layer) | SS621X15-HMI-V1.5 | SS621X15-HMI-V1.8 |
| MCU SW (microcontroller) | SS621X15-07 | SS621X15-10 |
Two components actually moved between 1.5 and 1.8:
- HMI stepped from
V1.5toV1.8(three-point bump). - MCU SW stepped from
-07to-10(also a three-step bump, suggesting-08and-09may have existed as intermediate releases we haven’t seen documented).
The HW and OS strings are identical across both - confirming that this is a software-only update, not a dashboard module swap, and the underlying OS is stable across the 1.5 → 1.8 release.
How this fits in the DS900X firmware generations
The DS900X exists in two distinct hardware generations that aren’t cross-flashable without an HMI module hardware swap:
| Generation | HMI hardware | HMI firmware line | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 model year | older HMI module | 4.x | 4.4 -> 4.5 -> 4.7 |
| 2025 / 2026 model year | new HMI module (HW SS621-L8) | 1.x | 1.5 -> 1.8 |
If you’re trying to flash 4.x onto a 2025+ bike (or vice versa), it won’t work and may brick the dashboard. Voge does not publish this distinction explicitly - it’s been pieced together from owner reports on the FB group thread “How can I install the last firmware on the 2025 model?”.
What 1.5 was like (pre-1.8)
Owners running 1.5 reported several issues that were later fixed in 1.8:
- Jerky throttle below 2,800 rpm in Road and Sport modes
- Rough cold-start idle
- Stale fuel-gauge readings that wouldn’t update until an ignition cycle
- Unstable Carbit Ride app connection dropping intermittently
- “False neutral” sensor errors causing brief jerking at startup
- Notchier Quickshifter upshifts (still drivable, just less polished than 1.8)
These are all fixed or improved in 1.8 - see the HMI 1.8 entry for the complete changelog.
What you should do
If your DS900X shows HMI SS621X15-HMI-V1.5 and you’re experiencing any of the above issues, the 1.8 update is a clear quality-of-life improvement. Two paths:
- Voge dealer - bring the bike in. Dealer firmware updates are normally free under warranty. This is the safe path.
- OTA via Voge Global app / Carbit Ride - some 2025+ bikes can pull the update directly. Procedure varies by region and isn’t always available; ask your dealer if it’s been enabled for your VIN.
What we’d still like to know
- Full quad-version readout for an as-shipped 1.5 bike (HW + OS + HMI + MCU SW from the
Menu -> System -> Aboutscreen). Send yours in if you’re on 1.5 and haven’t updated yet. - The OS / MCU version paired with HMI 1.5 - we’d expect something earlier than the
SS621X15-OS-V2.3.2/SS621X15-10seen with 1.8, but no confirmed data point yet. - Earliest production date that shipped with 1.8 from the factory (vs needing a 1.5 -> 1.8 update at dealer).
