I know what you mean. I don’t have the “farm machinery” my self, but my neighbor owns an excavation company so if I need equipment all I have to do is ask. :cool:

Rode the EX to work today and will race around my back yard track this afternoon in Boise, all on solar produced electricity. Awesome Motorcycle. :cool:

Never a more true statement and I consider that a complement. Most of the members here are definitely unique, especially when compared to the rest of the population, world wide. :ricky:

Something like this?

I used to be tall and lengthy, but as I get older I seem to be expanding horizontally. :eek: :cry:

To add on to this, what is there to go after? I am not speaking for or against the law suit, but we would need to understand what we are after. There are probably damages out there. Certainly some of the owners of R battery packs that failed under warranty could have claims. I am not sure if the...

Thanks for the help. Just to make sure I understand. If I updated my inverter to where it thinks it is a SM, which is doable with multitool, the bike will then look for the SM firmware and automatically update to that?

Let me say up front, I am not a programmer so what I say here may make no sense. Simple case of typing myself smart. Can we change the file name of an already created firmware for a SM, to the firmware file name for an EX, and then uploaded it into a EX or any other combination you can think...

I am not sure how different it really is. I have two different packs on my 300ZX conversion, one in the front and one in the rear where the gas tank was. It was only a matter of running some fairly heavy wire from the front to the back of the vehicle for a series run. The Chevy Volt pack is...

There could be more than one pack. The beautiful thing about batteries is that you can spread them out. Alta just had one pack and it some ways that is more efficient. Just one controller and everything in one place, but it is not the only way. Honda could have another parallel or series pack...

This is from the Alta manual on storage: "Do not leave the HV battery below 10% charge for more than one week, or below 25% for more than one month. When storing the HV battery, charge it to 40-60% (or higher) and check it monthly, recharging if needed". This is from the Alta manual on...

Awesome.

I would be interested in decals for an EX, thanks

I do not know anything other than what is in the listing. Seems like a pretty good deal if you are in the market for an MXR. If someone buys this or hears that it is sold and lets me know I will update the thread prefix. Craigslist ad.

You might be able to use something like this to replace the Alta cell honeycomb. This may not be exactly correct, but there may be something similar that will work.

Not sure how the contactors are in the main pack, but I wonder if you have a welded/failed contactor? If it is welded in the charge position it may not switch to the run position. Another options would be that the charge contactor disables the run contactor. Just a couple of ideas since it...

What is the voltage path for the key switch enable? Does it get 9V from the 9V battery and then send it on to the vehicle controller? If so is the 9V at the key switch? Does the key switch supply a ground to start? If so is it there? Since you have two bikes and had the key switch out of...

Vote changed

The problem with going with a new pack will probably be software. The pack is probably integrated into the CAN bus and the BMS probably sends can messages back to the vehicle controller. If the pack doesn't proved the correct messages, the bike probably shuts down much like a broken display...

I voted no, but with caveats. I don't need a second pack, but if my pack failed I would like to have a replacement option available. It would also be nice to upgrade the pack as cells continue to improve. In a couple of years we will probably be able to get 18650 cells that have 50% more...
