That would be cool to have at a 24 hour race

Not on my Alta, but just finished replacing the chain and changing the oil on my DRZ so took it out to the Boise foothills on a test ride. About 3 miles further up on the road it was blocked with snow. It was a nice evening ride though.

Can you wire a switch into the 9V circuit so you can disconnect it when the bike is not in use and kill any possibility of a parasitic drain?

Nice art work

Yep, but you get an Alta for free. :D

I'm in. 7kw pack should give me about a 60 mile range on trails which would cover 95% of my riding.

That means we have a team, anyone else? :D We can have up to 6 on a team, but 3 is about the minimum to charge the bikes and keep a someone on the track all the time.

Since the SM has a built in charger, will the external charger on an EX still work if we change to the SM FW? If so will the speed be the same or do the charging CAN commands slow down the charge because of the smaller SM charger?

Yes, plug the J1772 connector into the box and the adapter box will turn on the power from the EVSE providing power to the cord. Install a plug on the cord and you can use the 240Vac to power whatever you want, in this case a rapid charger.

Tuscon EV has J1772 adapters, all you have to do is add your plug of choice. I have never used any of their stuff so don't know how well it works. I used one of Modular Ev's adapters on my conversion and never had a problem connecting to my EVSE at home or public charging. Modular EV also...

The J1772 handshake is pretty easy. You can buy the handshake module or make one yourself. The more difficult part, I think, would be getting the SM charger to work with an EXR. That would require uploading different FW and wiring in the charger. Wiring in charger from my understanding is...

The EVSE, public or private, only provide switched 240 Vac (level 2) or 120 Vac (level 1) power, they are not chargers. As @Rashid510 said you would need a hand shake box to turn the power on and then a charger for the bike.

The torque reduction you are seeing is probably the result of Back EMF or Counter Electormotive Force and battery sag. As the motor speed increases, it also acts as a generator creating a Back EMF voltage proportional to the motor speed. The induced Back EMF opposes the battery voltage. When...

That was me, here is a link to my post on the issue. Good memory @snydes . :D

@F451 come join us, last year was a lot of fun and no pressure to go any faster than you want. If we get enough riders this year we can have a fast and faster team. :lurker: We could probably get by with 3 riders and can have a max of 6 per team. It would be awesome to have two Alta teams...

Fairly easy to build, but would require you to carry a separate box. Could easily be built to fit in the open space in the sub frame. All it requires is the female plug, some wire and a communication module. The communication module is small so would probably fit inside the sub frame. If you...

I am :ricky:

If the charger is only 1.1kw does going to 240Vac have any charging speed benefit? A 15A, 120Vac outlet should be able to provide 1.8kw so is there any gain with 240Vac? Thanks

What is tractor mode supposed to do? Any idea way it is not working? What other benefits/changes are there in the Erzberg FW?
