I have a 2017 150 XCW that I'd love to convert to E power. I'll have to get together with @DonCox for some insights.

Hey Guys, We are building a CRF450 using a QS138 V3 and an X-9000 controller. This is my first X-9000 build so I'd like to do it right. We think we have everything wired correctly. I have a couple of questions: 1. Do we connect the single red wire to the positive lead on the controller? 2...

@fmxxx666 your battery support brackets look killer! Great work. I love your style.

@MotoHead Very nice, clean and simple approach. Looks very nice. Thank you for sharing your build.

The next EMX project. Bone stock, show room new,. I'm going to record the complete conversion of this 2016 YZ450F. I look forward to interacting with everyone on this build. -- Dave

Please message me and I will email the configuration file

We too are restricted from riding in many trail areas. That is exactly the reason why I converted my bike to make it street-legal. Now I can ride either MX or trail. Typically, the posted signs read " No Off-Road Vehicles" (see below). By licensing my motocross bike, it makes it legal to ride it...

@fmxx666, Great update. Your bike is a thing of beauty! It sounds like you love your new bike. It too am absolutely loving my new bike. Yesterday I rode a very hard 35 miles of tight single track. The 84v 58ah battery still had more than 20% charge remaining. As mentioned, I'm loving the bike...

Here are some pics of an amazing @DonCox built 2005 CRF450. We retrofitted a new a battery and battery cage to Don's original build. Hope this inspires you guys!

Feel free to send me Photoshop or Illustrator files/images and or drawings. I'll be happy to create CAD files in a dxf format for CNC cutting. There will be no cost. We can email back and forth: dave.daum@gmail.com

I'm helping my friend Mark as he mounts his new Amorge battery. This is the 2005 CRF we purchased from @DonCox. Here are pics showing the battery mounting process.

A while back I received questions about how I secure the top side of my battery. I'm running a 2 inch wide nylon strap over the top with an over-center latch. Under the nylon strap is a 2mm thick EVA foam pad. Here a couple of photos of the whole set up.

Hey Jim, I love your approach. A template makes it so easy to configure the battery layout. I built a template should anyone need it. Attached are images. Message me and I'm happy to email a full scale PDF and or DXF file that can be plotted, or brought into a CAD system. I hope this helps...

Hello @Jim Beagle I had my Amorge battery built with an internal BMS and BMS controlled discharge. As a novice builder, I felt the simplicity of the internal BMS outweighed the benefits of reduced heat buildup. We will see how it goes as time goes on. Best, Dave

Since the writing of this post, @DonCox have you found any improvement to the configuration settings?
