    load / resistance spec for aux / 12v circuit

    @schwankl have you had any luck playing with the 12v circuit? Curious as I'm either going to use it to power some lights or build a stand-alone harness with a separate battery for lights. Thanks!

    MXR display buttons?

    If you have a check engine light, holding down the button on the far left will display the code.

    POLL - Have you had problems that required support from Alta Motors?

    MRX #327, had code 36 and battery replaced. Bike had about 8 hours on it. No issues since, bike is now at 23 hours. I need to ride it more! We've had so much rain in the northeast this year.

    I installed full LED lighting on my MX

    This is really cool! I'm going to do this on my MXR. I like the idea of a stand alone system that doesn't tap in to the bikes power output. That's one thing I'd be worried about that could cause potential damage to the electrical system, and I'm not willing to risk that considering Alta's...

    Code 36 service required???

    I had a code 33 on mine. Alta replaced the battery pack under warranty but it took about a month to get. Hope you can get yours back up and running soon!

    Warnings on dashboard on new MXR

    Hi all, just wanted to let everyone know that I finally picked up my bike from HVMC this past weekend. Haven't had a chance to ride it much, only about half a battery worth, but all seems to be working well. I was told that Alta made some updates to the R pack and that's what they installed in...

    Warnings on dashboard on new MXR

    I would hope that all of the MXRs have the latest updates. Steve at HVMC assured me that mine would have had that done while setting the bike up, as Alta pays them to update all bikes before sale. I also talked to Steve again, and it seems that one of the two relays that are built into the top...

    Warnings on dashboard on new MXR

    My bike is #327. Got word from Steve at HVMC today that they'll be replacing the battery and ignition switch on my bike. He said they ordered the parts but it'll be 4-7 business days before they arrive (California to New York).

    Alta Fast charger

    Regarding the fast chargers, I received shipping info on Friday that mine is on its way. Hopefully others who are waiting will be getting theirs soon, too!

    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    I'm excited to see how they do. Even more interested in how they'll complete the race as far as batteries go. It's like 4 hours, so they'll surely have to do a battery change or two.

    Just got a Recall notice

    @aremean79, mine began to display "Code 33 service soon" on the dash. Had some trouble getting it to take a charge, and when it did, it wouldn't take a complete charge before the charger would turn off and say it was done. It would be like 97% full, but still have a little left. I feel like the...

    Warnings on dashboard on new MXR

    Dropped the bike off with Steve and the service team at HVMC this evening. Depending on the work load, they may be able to plug it in and get started on it tomorrow. Mark's right on with the whole reverse-engineering of the bikes. If there's money to be made, it'll happen. We use a diagnostic...

    Just got a Recall notice

    Interesting. I wonder if that will become apparent on the MXRs too, seeing as mine seems to be having issues already.

    Rant: Motocross Action is Boring

    While I agree with this to an extent, nobody else really fully test bikes like MXA does. They really figure out how to make them work better and publish the info in their articles. It would be nice to see them open their minds a bit and test some new-tech stuff...like maybe an ALTA! I get the...
