What's the "throttle board" do and why did it get relocated? My 17MX throttle signal goes to the ACM not the inverter.

I didn't even know that someone/thing has actually "rated" FUN levels until #73 made reference to it in one of his posts. There's Fun Type 1.0, Type 2.0, Type 3.0 etc. Of course, I had to google half the stuff he wrote to understand what he was saying! Silver tongue indeed. Lol.

I had an open order for one at my local dealer. Even ran wanted posts here and on Vital. All I ever heard from my dealer was "they don't have any extra packs to sell at ANY price. I kinda thought that was strange but now in hindsight I guess we know why.

Too much customization kinda defeats the purpose, right?

Hummm . . . . I know Ellis won a supercross title but SX wasn't a big deal back then. Jones won a 250 National title for sure.

Easy at the beginning when the pack can be fully discharged and then charged as the measured coulombs should equal the packs capacity. However, we rarely ever fully discharge our bikes and sometimes we don't wait for a full charge. This, along with self discharge and other factors that coulomb...

Much different. They're using a gearbox/clutch to make up for a narrow speed range system, probably 4-5000 rpm max. I'm guessing low voltage bus as well based on the huge stator wires. Got good components, however.

I doubt the mfg has data on the kind of loading/charging we see. Alta should have incorporated algorithms for predicting capacity loss based on past discharge/charge cycles into the SOC/SOH calculators. Another bit of data that would be nice to have and possibly part of the sold IP.

Not bad. My preference would be the red/white/blue or the yellow/black.

Not if pushed into thermal limiting on a regular basis that's for sure. It was a very hot day and the bike was being ridden HARD. My rider mentioned he felt that the overall power was off probably 25-30% during this period, the result of the limiting process. Depends on what you mean by...

I've got independent TCs installed on my pack and I'm seeing temps as high as 70C under the right (wrong?) conditions. Obviously, Alta allows higher temps during thermal limiting.

Can-Am used to build motorcycles. As I recall, some no-name guy won an MX National Championship with one awhile back. What was his name, Gary Jones I think. Lol.

Understand completely, and wish everyone involved the best of luck. I provided No.73 with a potentially (long shot) pivotal referral, that'll need to be my contribution to the effort. That said, I find it interesting that while those public messages from members advocating for and affirming...

Obviously, any company needs to make a profit to sustain operation, however, I'm talking about how and when an individual INVESTOR/owner makes their money in the master plan. Maybe you can explain to everyone on the forum how their investment will be valuated (or devaluated/diluted) over time...

As with any "non-emotional" investment, first and foremost on the wishlist has to be MAKING MONEY. I've seen very little talk about that small detail.

Careful and tedious application of blank wrap material. Anyone can do it. If I had a set of new "white" shrouds and wanted black I'd probably just dye them. RIT Dye More works pretty good after adding the proper amount of acetone. Need a BIG pot to do a shroud, however.

Yes, I was only referring to it from a PR perspective. Obviously, with the way they decided to go (ABC) they don't owe anyone anything.

It would be a big bummer to me and possibly the community if we found out that Alta or their legal reps were less than forthcoming about the availability of certain replacement parts, specifically battery packs and displays. Particularly in the case of legitimate warrantee claims.

Mine literally "flew off" when some guy wanted to ride my bike and high-sideded. The wiring harness was the only thing tethering it to the bike. No damage, however.

Here's something I whipped out the other day. I wanted to get the display totally off the bars completely. One for protection and second because it's such a PITA to make simple bar adjustments. I only need to see the Map selection (only once), SOC meter and any warning lights, and the last two...
