Sweet, thanks for that @schwankl

@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!

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

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.

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...

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!

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...

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...

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).

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!

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.

@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...

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...

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

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...

I'm sure in time we (consumers) will have the ability to plug these things in and do more of our own diagnostics, this is just the infancy stage of it. I have always worked on/fixed/modified my own bikes, so taking it to the dealer is so foreign to me. But I'm sure they'll get it figured out and...

Today I spoke with Steve, service manager at HVMC. I'm going to take the bike in this weekend and have them take a look at it hopefully next week. It sounds like that code has something to do with the high voltage system. I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of it and I'll be back to silent...

That warning message has not come back. The only one I have now is "Code 33 service soon" and Alta couldn't (wouldn't) tell me if the two were related. I have not been able to find the video showing where the battery is located either. Does anyone know? I'd throw one in if I knew where it was, I...

I noticed that mine makes that noise as well, but not all the time. It doesn't seem to do it after it's been sitting parked for a while and I don't turn on the key, just push the bike. Then it's smooth and makes no clicking noise.

Whatever they're up to, I'm interested to see the Alta tackle some tight and technical obstacles. I've done some playing around climbing over logs and stuff at slow speeds with mine and it's pretty good at that, but I agree that the top racers would probably do better with a traditional clutch...
