Troubleshooting
Issues reported by riders and reviewers, with their status and whether a workaround is reported. Most recently updated first within each bike.
DS900X
Dual Sport / Adventure
DS900X Design Quirks (Fuel Gauge, Centrestand, Headlight, Keyless)
Four smaller points that long-term testers raise about the DS900X. None of them stop the bike, but they are easier to deal with if you know about them in advance.
EVAP / Charcoal Canister Saturation from Fuel Overfilling
Filling the tank above the level the manual allows can push liquid fuel into the charcoal canister, causing rough running and misfires. In the owner case behind this page it cleared with riding once the overfilling stopped.
Bluetooth Connectivity Drops
Some owners, mostly with 2024 bikes, report the phone connection for navigation and the app dropping after a few minutes of riding. One owner fixed sudden drops by turning off the phone's power-saving mode.
Odometer Reset to Zero After Firmware Update
RiDE's long-term DS900X had its odometer reset to zero when it went in for a firmware update. Voge agreed to replace the dash under warranty and said the mileage could be reinstated. Photograph your odometer before any firmware update.
Vibration Through the Bars and Mirrors
Some reviewers and owners mention a mild buzz through the bars and mirrors, and one owner's left mirror kept working loose. No reports describe it as a fault.
Headstock Nut Working Loose
Two long-term test bikes, RiDE's and MCN's, had the headstock nut or bolt work loose. MCN's mechanic found no thread lock on it. Check for steering play as part of your routine inspections.
Throttle Snatching / Jerky Power Delivery at Low Speeds
Throttle response at low revs is abrupt, worst in Sport mode. Road mode is smoother, and owners report improvements from firmware updates, an owner-circulated throttle reset and dealer or aftermarket remaps.
TFT Screen Freeze
One owner of an early 2024 DS900X reported the dashboard hanging when resetting the trip meter, needing the ignition switched off to recover. We have found no other reports.
DS800X Rally
Dual Sport / Adventure
800 Rally Design Quirks (Air Filter, Coolant Reservoir, Switchgear, ABS)
Four design points raised in Visordown's 800 Rally review. None of them stop the bike, but they are easier to deal with if you know about them in advance.
Voge Global App Crashes When Retrieving Dashcam Footage
Visordown reports that most owner complaints about the 800 Rally's dashcam centre on the Voge Global app crashing when pulling footage off the bike.
Throttle Snatching / Jerky Power Delivery at Low Speeds
Reviewers and owners find it hard to ride the 800 Rally smoothly at low speed from a closed throttle. It is the complaint that comes up most often in owner reviews. No confirmed fix from Voge yet.
DS625X
Dual Sport / Adventure
Harsh Rear Ride and Hard-to-Reach Rear Preload
On the delivery settings the rear can feel harsh over sharp bumps. Backing off rear compression and adding rebound improved the ride on a Bennetts test bike.
DS625X Design Quirks (E5 Fuel, Front Brake, Legroom, Service Interval)
Smaller points that reviewers raise about the DS625X. None of them stop the bike, but they are useful to know before you buy or set off.
Traction Control Cuts In Early and Feels Like Limp Mode
Reviewers found the TCS cutting power at big lean angles before any slide and slow to give it back. A long press on the TCS button switches it off, and it comes back on at the next ignition.
Throttle Slack and Dead Zone at the Grip
The DS625X uses a cable throttle, and test bikes have shown a large dead zone before the throttle opens. The manual gives a cable free play of 2-4 mm.
SR4 Max
Scooter
Recovery After Flashing the Wrong Firmware
Flashing firmware intended for another Voge model onto the SR4 Max dashboard leaves the screen corrupted and unusable. As long as the Sansan Dashboard Assistant app still connects, the cluster can be recovered by reflashing the correct SR4 Max firmware over a phone hotspot. Files and full procedure below.
