    How many miles/hours do you have on your ALTA

    damn @bluefxstc - we are close - on my EXR - Just 10mi apart - at 2325 (if you ever head south let me know if you want to ride, or can point out a few good trails in the wasatch and swell) ... got motominded's mxr 2w ago (they said with 644mi in the description, but they had it on km, so really...

    Our own Alta software/firmware team -- Join in

    @datadog - could always spoof dns and run your own server once you see what the request(s) and response(s) are. They probably have most if not all settings baked into the firmware, so thats something we will need to solve: software to build a firmware bin... Ready to hack this tho - if just...

    I have asked Alta to buy a laptop ~2mo ago...no response. Waiting for a disgruntled, or very cool, employee. ...could non-intrusively copy a laptop - if not encrypted - a "dealer" could take out the drive, run a "dd" command (free program) to copy the drive, and puts it back into the laptop...

    Enough of the bad news. Let's talk Harbor Freight generators.

    That generator would probably be fine - I have the 4000w version. My last 4-day trip we had 2 generators: honda 2000w (110v - $1000) and the harbor freight predator 4000 (220v - $279 on-sale few times a year) to charge an exr and mxr. The predator worked fine with the rapid charger and was...

    non-alta kickstand

    I have gone thru 2 kickstand hangers in 3mo, by I guess putting too much pressure on the stop: the t-looking part of the hanger can see on: MXR Kickstand They bend, then the kickstand continue to get worse until its useless. Very bad design imo, never had any problems with various yamaha's...

    Harbor Freight 240V Generator

    Tip: While using a stock harbor freight predator 4000 at mid altitudes 5-6kft it would fault or 110 error the bike after 2-15min... turned up the idle screw on the gen 3.5 turns clockwise and was good - no more faults or errors - did not need high altitude kit

    TV land

    4.7hr per day average? Truly shocking, so much wasted time and power that could be used riding these amazing bikes, or at least creating something instead of laying on a couch in a vegetative state. Wonder what the "Bike Land" graph looks like. Probably close to inverse of this with...

    Ex/sm led for night road driving

    @Judaslefourbe can you help on the part numbers? both those numbers (X000ZL69U5, X001AW316L) in google do not clarify is it H4 version here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FHOY8I8/?tag=sce0f-20 or H3: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZGVOF4A/?tag=sce0f-20 ... any <35w 12v ? whats the spec on the...

    Ex/sm led for night road driving

    I doubt just changing the bulb will get you what you want, but would try that out first. If there is enough room under the seat could put in a small 300wh battery like: 52v Mighty Mini Cube Samsung Ebike Battery Pack 30q 6ah (3 pounds!) with a step-down converter: WaterProof DC 36V/48V to 12V...

    Warning light

    @TCMB371 - that model only does 240v single-phase, r-charger uses 240v split-phase. I guess you could use 2 of them - some details on the topic here: Efergy E2 Energy Monitor | Mapawatt @Philip another route is to use a proper battery monitor w/ a shunt. BMV-712 Smart - Victron Energy - or...
