So, is he using this opportunity to select specific "more affluent" (which is all you really need to be) individuals and, including himself, form an investment group where he's the representative among other current VCs? Or, is he just testing the waters to see if he can bring other investors...

What's your source for the laptop? Folks on this site have been looking for one ever since they were announced with no luck. Just curious if the market will soon be flooded with ex-dealer laptops . . . .

That's Greg Fox's bike, the one they gave him/them after Fox invested big money into Alta. At least it appears that way.

I know myself, and if I had the ability to quickly (laptop and some keystrokes) change my throttle response, torque curve, motor braking, etc, I'd spend most my day at the track looking at data instead of riding! :LOL: I already do that as it is. Then the next time out I'd do it all over...

Sometimes we gearheads get a bit too exuberant when it comes to buying into performance related tech like we're discussing and conveniently forget about the excellent job the OEMs did to start with. We've all done our share of EFI/Ignition remapping, jetting, pipes, cams, pistons, porting...

I guess you could use some spring loaded weights to vary the MOI over speed, but there's not much room for a mechanism like that. Weight/cross section shape is definitely "a variable" but I don't think it's variable. Perfect sense . . . .

So far I've dome three conversions, each a bit differently. 1) Master with Rekluse insert 2) Welded OEM 3) Welded China import They all work fine but #3 is by far the cheapest, about $25 (if you do the welding). The only/best solution at the bars is the Brembo clutch MC. If you're lucky you...

When I couldn't afford tires I'd wrap nylon rope around the bald rear wheel kinda like that. It'd work pretty good in the mud! The good thing about the rear subsection is that it's relatively hollow so you could inject it with fiber enforced syntactic foam and get most if not more...

Not in series, in parallel. I had to add a completely new circuit from the main body to feed the second valve and then both dump into the reservoir through a shared port. I had to reverse the direction of flow through the KYB valving to make it work. I have NO IDEA how to valve it until I do...

It's been discussed that there's just not enough room between the shock and the rear subsection to incorporate a proper bladder system. There's just so much length and although going "fatter" might work with a piston type reservoir a true bladder needs to collapse radially, not axially, so you...

Josh, Nice riding, that track looked pretty fun. No, just hitting the thermal limit shouldn't hurt anything, that's why's its there. It would have to have been a freaky situation, like a failure of one or several self protection systems, to cause an overheating condition severe enough to...

Study the high voltage circuit from the charger plug to the battery +/- leads. I think you'll discover that voltage from the charger goes from the charge port to the black box nearest the port. I believe this is the Battery Control Unit. From there it goes to the Inverter and finally to the...

You guys must have had a configuration control system, correct? So there must be a "as built" vs "as designed" configuration for every bike produced showing all the outstanding deltas and whether each delta is cause for additional actions.

Here's an idea you guys with interest might what to try. Using cheap 90 degree prisms to show the display on edge. Most offroad guys are only interested in range and the two warning lights. putting the viewing area on edge would allow many other mounting options, perhaps directly behind the...

I've tried several different methods to expel entrapped air with no change in sound. It's been this loud since day one. I'll try to pull a vacuum on the system and see if that helps. In regards to heat damaged magnets I just bought the bike (used) so I'm not familiar with the motor history...

Just picked up a back-up bike from a forum member, an 18 MX. I thought the bikes were identical. However, after working on it for a few days I noted some interesting differences between my 17 MX. 1) The 4CS forks are about 1/2 inch longer. 2) The throttle is substantially faster, I'd say a...

Like you said, that's why there's a limit to the auto-bid. You gotta know the MAX you'd pay before you walk away. There's no downside unless you have the same max bid as some other person and then it goes to the first bidder. I'd agree with you if there were a couple of bids on the table, but...

That's why there's auto-bid. Just strange, probably could have gotten it much cheaper.

It only had one bid, the "buy it now" price. I don't think it had a reserve, so I wonder why there were no bids under $7.5?

There are some among us that feel the stock Alta triple clamps are soft (material wise) and lack tight tolerance machining. When making adjustment to your tube height, is it easy to move the tubes? When you fall, even a small plop-over, does your front wheel get all wacked out of alignment...
