    Little brass thread inserts in plastic -- How to fix

    The front inserts on the “clamshells” bottom onto the aluminum frame tabs, so they can be tighter.

    Little brass thread inserts in plastic -- How to fix

    I have resorted to about 30 inch pounds and using permatex gasket sealer on the bolt threads to prevent them from vibrating loose or corroding in place from moisture getting trapped on the threads...so far so good.

    Little brass thread inserts in plastic -- How to fix

    Whose idea were these? The only permanent fix I have found is to drill 7/64” holes perpendicular to the insert (at least 3 of them at 90* intervals) through the plastic and into the insert and then put them together with JB weld after cleaning everything with toluene.

    New owner for #066 (2017 MX)

    Congratulations on buying the MX. I thought about buying it, but wound up driving down to Moto Corsa in Portland instead and buying their used EX because I wanted the dual-sport capability. You will have a blast, the electric dirt bike is quite a unique animal.

    Thanks a million, I would have never guessed that to be the coolant drain. Thank you 😀

    How do I drain coolant?

    So I recently bought a used EX, and had noticed that while charging the water pump didn’t sound the same as my EXR and after riding there was some white foam on the left side of the frame about an inch back from the battery badge. Water pump whirrs at too high a pitch, then gurgles and slows...

    Tempted to sell, kickstand woes

    I rode my bike all over town this morning and kickstand is working great. I think the brack I ride my bike for all my errands around town this morning, and the bolt install definitely got my kickstand working great. I would have just welded up the stop tab, but I wanted to stop the tab from...

    Tempted to sell, kickstand woes

    Recently bought a second Alta (EX) and it would lean over so far on the sidestand that it couldn’t be trusted not to tip over. I compared the stand bracket to my EXR and found the part the stand rests upon when deployed to be bent. Rather than risking breaking the bracket by trying to...

    Just a heads up -- Check your nipples

    I put a Warp9 rear wheel on my KTM 250 SX two years ago and have had issues with both the spokes getting too loose and the threaded ends protruding past the inside of the nipples after tightening...

    Pics from the AIMExpo show

    Yeah, I would rather not think about electric Harley’s either...feel like they really let Alta down.

    Bummers, that hill-hold feature would have been sweet in the super gnarly stuff.

    WSM PACT: Alta Redshift

    That’s true that people will admire these kind of projects. I just think of what I went through to get my bikes and how currently Alta is the only fully capable off-road electric motorcycle and there are such limited numbers of them out there...makes me wish these guys could have picked a...

    WSM PACT: Alta Redshift

    So six more amazing Alta bikes are going to be cannibalized for these guys’ production run? 😕

    Range and Range Comparison

    My opinion is that riding style is paramount in determining rate of battery consumption. My friend and I have Alta EX bikes and we are similar weight. We had done several rides together and were convinced that my bike just used 1/2 to 2/3 the battery capacity that his used for some reason...

    Wattage of rear lighting circuit?

    revoltlution has an EX or EXR (not an MXR) because he is talking about rear light circuit and front headlight (not aux light) circuits. The headlight circuit is designed to constantly power a 35w filament, but usually these circuits are capable of powering up to a 55w filament. The EX and EXR...

    Sold Battery

    How long ago was it last used? With moisture trapped inside it will be super critical that it be opened, dried out and resealed before corrosion occurs. Where is the battery located, could you ship it, and how much money would it take for you to part with it happily?
