Here are some links to a couple of videos of the race. Short Video Long Video 2016 Muddy mess, short

Having never been involved in a 24 hour race, I thought a thread on specialized equipment and logistics necessary for a 24 hour race on an Alta, might be beneficial. There is a lot of racing experience on the forum so trying to pool the knowledge to give everyone a leg up and help ensure a good...

Here is a link to the race web site. October 27/28. Not sure of the course, but I don't have anything on my calendar that would prevent me from going.

I think (take that as I am guessing) it may be a safety thing. Keep the light on if the primary bulb burns out.

Hmmmm, I think 47 is young. :LOL: If it wasn't 2100 miles and 4 days of driving I would be interested in the ride/race. Anyone find one of these in the NW, I am in, but I will not be fast. Compete to complete and not get hurt, not to win.

Will do, thanks for the suggestion. I will stop by an auto part store on my way home and get a new bulb. Can I purchase a 7568 at a US auto parts store or will I have to go with an 1157? Thanks again for the suggestion, awesome idea.

I think it was a 1157, but didn't check the number. It is the bulb that Alta put in it originally. Pulled it out, took a look at it and it looked good so checked continuity of elements and it was good so I put it back in after cleaning it. There was a lot of dust on it. There is no back to the...

Thanks @WoodsWeapon, I appreciate the input, unfortunately, that didn't seem to work for me. I tried it tonight with no change, but will try again tomorrow when I can run it around my pasture with the tail light disconnected to see if time has any impact. What does seem to work is to start the...

There are probably a couple of other 12v circuits you could use to power your lighting needs. Not sure how much power is available, but it is different from the head light so probably additional power. On my EX there is a second small bulb in the head light and you have the tail light circuit...

Found out today my 2018 EX’s (#027) tail light isn’t working. Brake light works, but no tail light. Initial thought was no biggie, bad bulb, I will replace it and all is well. Guess what, it is not the bulb. Clean the bulb and socket, which is probably the cheapest socket I have ever seen...

I would agree with that. Alta can either fill the information void, or leave it to peoples imaginations to fill the void. Either way, the information void will be filled, and it is better for Alta to control how it is filled. Peoples imaginations will almost always be worse than the truth.

Something like 50-100ft long and 6 ft deep with a couple of whoops thrown in for good measure. Might be kind of fun to watch the different techniques and strategies to try and make it through. :muutt:

How about this for deep water? Try that on an ICE bike. :)

Looks like a nice unit. Output is adjustable so tweek it down a bit and it should work good. 4/0 AWG is a pain to work with, but they do make some fairly flexible wire that is not bad. Not sure you need to go that large for what you are planning though, but in general, overkill is always...

Not that I am aware of. Amazon has some 13-48 Vdc converters, but normally they are 3-5A at 48Vdc. What about a spec sheet on the 180 A version of the cells I have. You can see on the discharge curve at 3.4 Vdc the cell is basically full so you wouldn't lose much capacity. The meter, with a...

I finally finished my off grid charging setup for my EX that I described in post #56. It is about 10KW so I can charge the bike twice. It does only make 120Vac, but with a different inverter it could produce 240Vac. The entire setup weighs about 250-300lbs so I have an eye bolt in each corner...

Tesla Pickup Not a semi, about the size of an F-150. Now you could always put a pickup bed on the semi and make a huge pickup if you wanted too. :lurker:

Nope, his CZ days were before my racing/watching days. Got my first bike in 72 so he was already with Suzuki and was the world champ by then. I did see him race a couple of times at AMA events in Puyallup though.

Youngster, Back when I started watching/racing motocross, Roger DeCoster was world champ riding 500s for Suzuki. :eek:

They will really smooth out the rough sections of a trail or track. You just float over the bumps. The ultimate suspension upgrade. :muutt:
