Jayfox, if you're asking me if I can fix a code 36 and the answer is yes.

Possibly, We just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary yesterday!

Here's an example of a few DCCPs modules in various states of repair.

It's possible the demand for the MX models is starting to dry up. I suspect the MXR models will soon follow. There's only so many Alta owners who were/are interested in a 2nd (backup) or even 3rd bike and the pool of procrastinating buyers can't last forever. That leaves the majority of...

Making a stickie might imply I'm doing this as a business or for money. So far I haven't considered either (other than cost for parts) and I'm only doing it to help the community and increase our knowledge base. If it becomes more than that I'll consider a formal "announcement" stickie. If...

If you have a known bad A or R pack BCU (aka top cover) I've been able to successfully repair 2 out of 3 I've had cross my test bench. As far as I know, I'm the only person actually repairing as opposed to replacing these units. I've also had success repairing failed ACMs, Inverter boards...

I could use the bike for another project (like the Grom and CRG kart conversions I did) but it’s only worth about $4k to me (delivered). I know it’s worth more than that but If you get the itch to simply dump it let me know.

I kinda remember that some early firmware versions would not report certain faults unless they were really going to cause problems. What the owner doesn’t know won’t hurt them philosophy. The newer versions disclose everything! So the problem(s) probably we’re there all the time.

Where’s all these parts Liquid is suppose to have? The stuff on eBay is just a drop in the bucket. Yes, I know about them moving to a new warehouse and all but that should have been done a long time ago.

It's pretty fast considering the weight . . . . not sure if it's faster than a shifter as I haven't really opened it up yet (still doing shakedown work). I've got to get it handling properly first as the higher CG needs to be compensated for with track and stiffness adjustments and that takes...

Wow, I’d expect at least 100mph with some gearing changes. As Brian mentioned, we hit 95mph (in the 1/4 mile!) with the Grom and it’s the same weight at the Alta (although a somewhat less frontal area).

Go to pin 3M (positive) and 4M (negative) on the backshell connector on the ACM. Use a power supply that’s limited in amperage, you should only need an amp or two. Of course, proceed at your own risk as there’s no formal procedures on these bikes!

I’ve been able to backfeed 12v into the system to at least get a pulse (display showing faults and state of charge). If yours shows some battery left it’s probably the BCU. My 18 MX died the other day and turned out to be a blown fuse in the BCU. There’s many different failure modes that I’ve...

I've changed out the contactors on the A packs before so I can help you. However, I must say that in the case of Oded's contactor failure I couldn't see anything wrong with the part upon DPA (Destructive Physical Analysis).

You'll never get that one group to balance the others without individually (separately) bringing the low P-group to within about .005v of the others. It's easy to do, just connect a 4 volt charger across those cells and watch the voltage carefully.

Had a 69 Rickman Matisse with a 250 Montesa engine one time, right side shift . . . . could never get used to it. Almost as bad as the left side shifting Zundapps, Sachs, DKWs, of that time. Those were truly "mystery shifters" as you had about a 50/50 chance of a blown shift, Lol. Luckily...

Just saw the thread, glad everything is good to go.

Electro was down this weekend and we were working on the Grom (installed an OB charger, etc). We were looking for an easy power source for a tail light and possibly headlight. I bet him that the connector in question was "live 12v" but when we put a voltmeter on it the thing was dead. Key on...

That connector is on all the Altas I believe, however, it's dead (no voltage). Did you install some firmware that enabled the voltage and/or install the light switch harness to the ACM as well, correct?
