Low and centralized mass encourages the front and rear wheels to rotate around the mass center prompting the for and aft rocking. Most off-road motorcycles are rear weight biased, where the Alta is near neutral, particularly while standing on the pegs. Lack of significant rotating motor mass...

If memory serves, the system will loop once saturated.

The roller / chain contact point should be the same as that of the OE slipper / slider. Anything different will increase chain slack variations throughout the suspension travel, forcing one to run a much looser drive chain. To obtain the best overall roller geometry, we used a relocation...

It can take several days for a complete download. It all depends on how long the bike has been operated since the previous download.

Lower slider chain contact position is critical as it controls the maximum amount of chain slack deviation throughout the rear suspension travel. Prototype Alta's were originally fitted with a lower roller. Unfortunately the roller and it's required location created an excessive amount of chain...

From what I gather...... BRP opted not to purchase existing motorcycles and / or motorcycle specific inventory. Motorcycles and motorcycle specific assets were sold through various avenues via Armanino.

Potted motors were prototypes that had yet to be field tested.

As with OE you will need to install a small spacer between the bracket and clamp. A small washer will suffice.

Lower CG does not always = better handling. Weight transfer and leverage are important attributes regarding overall performance. Sometimes more = too much. Regarding seat height..... I have lowered numerous Alta's via suspension with very positive results. 2" inches front and rear has proven to...

Likely so. That said, I have no idea what changes I may have made as everything was documented in a spreadsheet that is now owned by BRP.

The forks in question came from Alta R&D.

Not to mention race bikes minus VIN numbers

Want to know where the CRF 450 came from?

FYI: It;s the real deal. Mugen was all over us @ RBSR. Welcome to the Motorcycle Industry. lol

I sent you a PM. (y)

Considerably low regarding your battery cost estimate of "something like $2400 each plus controls, labor and packaging."

Begining Of The End.

The motorcycle industry proper is not for the uninitiated nor faint of heart. As a seasoned industry veteran, I feel qualified to make such a statement. Alta was passion driven, which was a double edged sword at best. In my personal opinion and in sharp contrast, the Mo-Co represents the polar...
