It appears that this bike will need a replacement BCU (Battery Control Unit), which is located under the top battery lid. We're not sure if the problem is with the contactor, or with a specific trace on the BCU. In either scenario, the BCU is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and the contactor is...

When Alta "reopened" for a month or two and took orders to fulfill dealer and customer orders, how many owners placed an order for parts and never got the parts they ordered? AND, how many of those that DID NOT get the parts they ordered DID NOT get their money refunded? If you're not...

A fellow New Englander dropped off his '18 MXR for me to look at. Problem: Bike does not go into "Drive" when start button is pressed. Code: Bike Displays "Battery Negative Contactor Fail" on display History: This may be the very last Code 36 bike that was fixed under warranty by Alta...

Yikes! What a hit that must have been. Glad you're okay

Sweet! No insurance, lights or blinkers required for scooters, but I do recommend them because they reduce the chances of being pulled over. Pachaug's trail system is linked by public roads and occasionally State Police will hang out on a section. I've been pulled over on my Alta (not while...

I'd like to host a ride in NE Connecticut this summer at Pachaug State Forest Pachaug State Forest They have camping, now by online registration only, DEEP: Campground Reservation Service - CT State Parks and Forests Bikes need to be street legal and riders must have a motorcycle license...

Hell yeah, physically and emotionally. One young girl brake checks me every chance she gets. They are way more rude than the rest of the riders!

Maybe my Camelbak if it's hot out. No tools. There's always an ATV to drag you back to the pits if need be. I'd love to do some NETRA events with the Alta, but they are too long, the Alta doesn't have the range. For those I would carry what I thought I needed because it's one giant loop...

Oh, I'll add this: The Alta is a heavy bike and it's difficult for me to get it unstuck when I need to dead lift the bike out of a rut or up from the side of a hill. I'm going to add some straps to the front and rear of the bike to help get a better hold on it when I need to muscle it around...

Yo! Here I am! I just ran the muddiest event I've ever seen in person this past weekend. I switched to the Bridgestone M59 tire up front and Kenda Ibex 120 in the rear, 6.5 and 4.5psi respectively. I was very impressed with the tires and Tubliss. Good in the mud, excellent on roots and...

Hahahahaa! That sounds a little creepy......

But Steve is the only one I know with an actual official Alta Service rep jacket!

Ok, keep me posted.

I have a piece of foam I usually stuff in there. It completely slipped my mind to reinstall it for this race.

The chain will certainly fling mud forward to the drive sprocket, but leaning left while in a deep rut would shovel dirt in front of the drive sprocket. I removed rocks and roots that the chain could not have flung there. I nearly ruined brand new sprockets and chain.

By the end of the moto I was beat. The bike had to have gained 30 pounds, I had a hard time getting my feet back on the pegs they weighed so much! The first lap of the second moto I got my foot peg stuck UNDER a root (the rut was at least 14" deep). I had to go get a helper to help me get...

Hey Booth216, you're not too far from me. I live in CT but work in central Mass. LMK if you need a hand.

This past weekend/s JDay event was a good "worst case scenario" practice for the NE 24hr Challenge !!

I'm 7 clicks out from full stiff. I haven't tried it full stiff yet. I'd hate be at the end of my adjustments and have it be where I feel it should be normally. I'd like to be able to go softer and stiffer as needed.
