    My MXR to EXR conversion / lighting install

    In my experience, that aux power outlet has a super narrow window of min to max power and if outside those points the ACP will shut down the bike. Short answer after a ton of aggravation: “don’t touch it” :) But if u insist then definitely change the super crappy connector they chose, the...

    My MXR to EXR conversion / lighting install

    Excellent documentation. I hope that helps somebody. I made my MXR street legal by adding the front and rear wiring harness and installing stock rear lighting and brackets. Never found the black plastic decorative “tail” so was forced to fab one out of carbon fiber. Used a Baja Squadron...

    Varg charging from generator.

    If I recall correctly, my Varg charge monitor consistently displays current power at 3100 watts even though I set it to the max 3300 watts... so unless they do not include other things that get power like the computers and the cooling fan, etc... 3100Watts / 240VAC = 12.91 Amps.

    Varg charging from generator.

    I got the Briggs & Stratton QS6500 lots of Alta owners recommended (not sold in CA so I bought it used, had it shipped, and threw a few hundred into it to bring it back up to factory specs and added a mechanical hour meter). ~100bs and charges the Varg at full power at 50% load. If I ever have...

    General EBMX X-9000 WOES

    Update- disassembled the throttle and the potentiometer is sealed plastic with the wires glued in Silastic. I’ll call them and ask if these parts are sold separately (would be stunned if yes) before buying another throttle.

    Check your Stark Varg charger plug

    It’s more a question of: who didn’t receive an improperly wired cable and plug. Seems that all of them with hand wired cord caps used the wrong color code wires and improperly attached cord cap. The chances of Alta allowing that nonsense were probably zero.

    General EBMX X-9000 WOES

    Merlin, fixed it by replacing the Domino. The first few degrees of twist on the old Domino caused very unstable motor output which corresponded with the app diagnostics throttle voltage being erratic. Will look at how much it is possible to take apart the bad throttle to spray some contact...

    General EBMX X-9000 WOES

    Merlin, just installed a x9000 on my LB w/ existing domino analog throttle. Found the throttle voltage jumps around and the acceleration is extremely jumpy on the stand. Going to try a spare Domino and also a cheap throttle to see if they help. Something else I can try in the app?

    Check your Stark Varg charger plug

    please confirm: Green and white wires attach to terminals labeled X & Y (the 2 brass colored terminals) - does not matter which wires attach X or Y Black wire is ground - the green terminal the Neutral pin - the silver colored screw - is not attached The wire insulation color choices are wrong...

    Redshift charging connector type

    I measure 120 ohms (CAN terminator) across 2 of the small pins for both the shell-size-12 Varg (pins D & E) and the shell-size-10 Alta (pins C & B) - while they are both wired to the Elcon, therefore not sure if there is a resistor inside the Souriau plug or on the Elcon PCB (technically, this...

    Question about Stark charger 240v adapter: is neutral required?

    This exact unit works great at 240vac: SURAIELEC Watt Meter, Plug-in... Amazon.com

    Check your Stark Varg charger plug

    That’s not correct for North America. Never would want to bond neutral to ground “that point in the schematic labeled “sys gnd” Passing power via the ground point in an appliance is against NEC code cuz it can kill people. 120 volts is derived via a center tap of the 240 volt transmission line...

    Question about Stark charger 240v adapter: is neutral required?

    But can it survive 240vac in spite of its rated max 120 volts spec?
