This one shows how to get the bottom cover off once you've got the outer screws removed: This one is the orange cover over the cells: Keep in mind, these have basically zero production value and it was the first time I got the pack open. Needless to say I missed a few pointers and...

I'm guessing it's from the vent at the bottom of the pack. None of the other modules seem to be problematic and it's clean as a whistle on the inside. That or it's the tar-like seal they used for the bottom cover. I couldn't find any other routes for water or moisture to get in.

You can backfeed 12VDC into the headlight connection to keep the module on indefinitely. Mine had an identical problem (2019 EXR). My 0 module got corroded and killed some of the cells so I had to get a replacement module. @ otbnc I'm in Virginia and come down to Raleigh pretty often. I don't...

Here are some pictures to go along with it. If you need help opening up the battery module, let me know. I did a little video on how to get the bottom cover off without destroying it.

I had a similar issue with my EXR. It slowly fell off until it wouldn't stay on for more than a few seconds. The result ended up being corrosion on the terminals of the 0 module (the one on the bottom) which eventually killed about 42 of the individual cells. Total module voltage is down to...

at this point I'm happy with whoever can make anything. Don't need to protect a dead brand. Need to keep the bikes going for those of us who have them.

Any replacements at this point would be welcome. But if they were more of the solid sided I'm sure most of us would be happy to save our knees from the ridges on the originals (not knocking the looks, just saying it can make for pretty uncomfortable landings if you botch it!)

Is it still possible to get the MT up and running if I tried it now? I take it the chances of getting the cables might not be great at this stage?

I'm sure they farmed it out. They originally stated they had Acerbis making their stuff for them so I'm not sure why they're so tight-lipped about recreating them unless there is some kind of licensing issues they're not divulging. You'd think that if they had a chance to sell product at a...

that's what I'm worried about. I've never done die work but I know people who have. I'm not crazy enough to think I could come up with a solution all on my own, but it would be nice to at least figure something out to keep my bike not looking like crap. I've already got the one panel missing and...

That's what I'm trying to figure out though. Obviously we need the volume to get the price down, but once you've got dies set up then the production runs wouldn't be that expensive, would they? I mean, if they only produced 1000 bikes total, it couldn't have been $500,000 to make just the...

I take it there's no chance of getting the CAD models for the plastics to be able to reproduce them? I get it that they are probably blocked to protect IP, but with Alta becoming defunct would there be a way to get them? That's not to hinder a future manufacturer either. If anything, it could...

I would think G10 would be more brittle/fragile than plastics. Maybe the sub frame could use being made out of it, but the side plastics would likely be better off as plastic. I'm not a materials scientist, but I've worked with a few different materials and I would think 3D printed concepts...

I just broke my left side number plate on my EXR. I tried writing to Acerbis and they basically said no and they won't do custom orders (I received the reply last week, I believe). My hope is we can get enough of a push to make some more plastics, that way the bike will last at least as long as...

Thanks! Not the best once you get up close and personal, but not bad for a 30 minute fab job. I plan on making it more permanent when I can figure out how to mount a KTM fender to it. The SE apparently uses a white front fender but may need to drill and trap a couple holes in the front of the...

Yes, they had locktite on all of the ones I've removed so far. Kind of a pain, but I'd rather put up with tight screws over missing screws any say of the week

I wasn't a huge fan of the "stock" EXR mask. I hit a tree and damaged the bezel so I found a cheap replacement on Amazon and fabricated up some mounts out of a 2x4 galvanized bracket. It's not the prettiest job, but so far its withstood some small jumps and general banging around the trails so...

For the sake of simplicity, what is the stock replacement bulb? I tried a 50/65 and it won't even come on. The stock one states 35/35 so I'm guessing it's a really weak circuit to begin with. I'm actually kind of surprised they didn't make it for the 50W setup since that's kind of the standard...

I'm still going to ride my EXR like the day I bought it. If it breaks then oh well. I'll figure out what to do then, but I'm really really hoping we can make lemonade from the lemons that got dropped on our heads. This is still the greatest bike I've ever ridden or owned and I can't imagine life...

I was thinking this post might be about mounting a generator on your trailer or in the bed of a truck and running it while driving down the road in order to charge. I've considered this many times because #1 it sucks to have to charge the night before or need a top-off and can't do it...
