New hard parts arrived. Just waiting on various orings from McMaster Carr.

Yeah i may do a little write-up. I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to do a complete rebuild of the bike with all new bearings, seals, and gaskets. Luckily i purchased a few sets of spare gaskets before Alta closed shop. FYI, the procedure is in the Owners Manual. Its a pretty lengthy process.

Here's the footage when it happened.... for the record.

Yes

My MXR is down for input shaft replacement so itll be another two weeks or so until im able to ride it again. Until then ill be shredding my 2004 KX125. So enjoy in the meantime.

There's an oring on the inward side of the collar as well. So there's 2 points of sealing in that area; the shaft oring and the collar oring.

My MXR is right at about 180hrs. The chain slack wasn't tight. In fact, it was a bit on the looser side.

Nah thats just the teeth marks from the vice grips i had to use to hold the broken piece while taking the sprocket off. Before doing that the piece was smooth. It was a clean break right at the oring seat.

On that topic, I'm probably going to want to replace all of the orings in there. Do we have a source for the large Oring that goes around the motor?

Luckily it looks like Liquid has the replacement parts, but i may need some guidance replacing it. For now i'll have to shred my 2004 KX 125. Anyone ever replace the shaft before?

Looks like it broke here:

So my output shaft snapped today just behind the front sprocket. Luckily the rear tire didn't lock up but rather the bike freewheeled. Chain slack was normal. I was going through a fast roller section. Heres a pic with the boot guard removed. Collar still over the end of the the shaft on the...

Careful with that. There was a bug in that version where rolling the throttle forward causes an inverter fault and cuts off your power.

Sounds like your bike has the unlocked inverter firmware on it.

That's either too little preload on the spring(s) or fork seal stiction, or you have negative pressure in the forks (cracking the bleeder on each one will normalize).

Get a new computer and follow the new steps outlined for installing multitool via Oracle Virtual Box. Its pretty easy. https://altaownersforum.com/threads/how-to-install-and-use-alta-multitool-software.946/

what "software issues" are you referring to?

Use the loader tab instead. Click Open and then select the firmware package (.zip file). After you open the file, if Multitool shows "waiting for target", turn the key off until the blue light on top of the battery stops blinking and then turn the key back on. The process should start after that.

Being able to start every moto with the pack at basically early morning ambient temps (60-70F) is a game changer for me. I usually don't hit the thermal limit on the first moto out in the morning (cold pack and cooler air temperatures). Its after rapid charging + higher ambient temps on my...
