    Switch to kill headlight/taillights

    The lighting circuit is powered directly from the ACM. The large connector on the RH side of the ACM, as it sits in the bike, powers all of the lights. I have never tried to put a switch on the circuit, but if you do a little testing, you should be able to determine which wires are 12v +/-...

    Code 36 service required???

    Yes, but it is difficult. It was on the list of nags before the end. Sometimes a mirror helps.

    Coolant flush

    Some suggestions - use a syringe, like those used for adding fork oil (Motion Pro) for adding the coolant. Turn on the key and let the pump run while you fill. The system will run and purge air as you go. Wait a few seconds as you add and get close to the top for the coolant level to drop. Do...

    Does “https://shop.altamotors.co“ still fulfill online orders?

    I believe the Alta store is a separate entity at a remote location from the crew shipping hard parts. At least it used to be...

    BAD NEWS

    Swindled?. It's fortunate that someone is spending the time to send out the parts they have left, they could easily just auction all of it.

    Battery level - stupid question

    It's a very special lithium, don't replace it with something else or you will probably find yourself stranded. You can find it at Lowe's.

    Battery level - stupid question

    The 'extra' 9v provides voltage to start the BCU. Without it, no drive.

    Battery level - stupid question

    There is some estimation/prediction going on with the SOC. Did you key cycle? Sometimes this provides more accuracy.

    grinding from gears and slipping / cold weather

    I'm pretty sure it was temp and the battery was unable to provide proper joules. You can't take off at 10 F and expect full power with that cell.

    BAD NEWS

    Doubtful. And if they did, there's likely an exclusive agreement since Alta designed the board and firmware. I recommend that the community works on a replacement.

    grinding from gears and slipping / cold weather

    That temp should not be low enough to affect 50/50 coolant, and there are no moving parts within the coolant jacket around the motor. The battery however, is not effective when its temperature is that low. Warming it up as you did is proper preparation. In the owner's manual, there is...

    can bus connector

    Have you looked at how that port is configured? It's part of the ACM and it's very important that the connection is waterproof, or goodbye ACM. That's a critical part of the network. If you need the Alta dongle, I can try to help you with that. Send me a PM.

    2018 EX with R battery

    Yes, top pics are A pack. Alta never put R cells in an A pack, so that was not a true statement from the dealer, or wherever the truth went wrong.

    2018 EX with R battery

    Top photo is the DCCP, same on both packs. Bottom photo definitely shows two stage A pack connector. The low voltage connector on the other side of the bike will be a round Milspec connector.

    Displays

    It's a normal 120 ohm termination. However, the bus sends a packet and expects a reply from the device. I don't know what that is.

    Displays

    They will not operate without the display. It is the termination of the CAN bus. Pump and lights will turn on, it will not go into drive.
