The first stage of the charger after the AC line input is likely a rectifier feeding filter capacitors, so I imagine it will present a capacitive load to the inverter. This shouldn't be a problem if the inverter's power rating is maybe 10% or so higher than the charger's draw. Transformer...

I was surprised how many of them were available, at least for street bikes. I'd prefer a compact one with a sprocket wheel, but a channeled roller would also be fine. Something like this might work with a bit of tweaking:

I was a little surprised at the audible chain slap on my MXR, as the Zeros have none (concentric motor shaft / SA pivot, so chain slack can be set real low). If I can find a reasonably compact spring-loaded chain tensioner I may try one out, which might help with the chain slider issues as well.

A capacitor! Replaced dozens & seen many hundreds of 'em, never one quite like that though. Nothing even close on my Zero.

Mine too - I got lucky & was able to fix it tonight. The problem on my bike turned out to be two things: the white toothpaste-like grease in the pivot (I could barely turn the center bushing with my fingers, there was so much friction), and the torsion-spring binding mentioned earlier. Once...

MotoMinded has the BRP chain guide, which looks pretty decent (replaceable liner). Hopefully it has a bit more chain clearance for larger sprockets, as the Alta OEM unit looks about tapped out at 53T.

If it still seems to have air in it later, maybe try laying the bike way over left & right with the pump running (might move the air bubble around enough to help).

No evidence of coolant leakage at all? I wonder if it might be an internal leak, with the coolant ending up inside something rather than on the ground.

That AIMS unit looks pretty impressive - maybe it could serve as a seat to put your boots on too. :) Seriously... does it have a CE or UL rating? If so, I'd consider it 100% trustworthy to output a solid 4kW, fwiw.

I've had my seat off several times for plastic work, and each time I noticed this large motor/pump looking component directly under the front seat area, where it begins to angle up. This thing is shown in the manual's page 79 (to the right of the meter) and page 80 (RH side of LH photo), but I...

Yeah... I think it may even change color on the shelf, or vary between manufacturers. My photo's in overcast natural light and the whites look very even, but in the garage different parts look slightly bluish / yellowish / even kinda pink in comparison to each other.

I agree !

I just prefer shapes to patterns - always have. I've seen plenty of graphics that look cool to me, but I know if I put them on my bike, within a week I'll wish I hadn't. I do like most pinstriping though, probably because it tends to follow shape lines.

Wow, a JB Weld failure - it must be the plastic, which can be a weird material to adhere to. Heli-Coil makes oversize inserts for correcting tapping errors, and also Twin-Sert double inserts (one inside the other) to to the same thing. These might be worth looking into if there's enough...

Thanks! Guess I just prefer a simpler look. :)

All white:

I reinforced mine with an aluminum strip: The strip is 9.25"/235mm long x 1.25"/32mm wide x .125"/3mm thick, JB Welded to the top of the lower slider run. It separated a bit from the plastic near the front as seen in the lower left, but otherwise came out OK (I also added extra epoxy around...

My guess is that - like other specialized electric cargo-type vehicles - these trucks may have been purpose-designed to fill large pre-order contracts, most likely for situations that require electric power (i.e., underground / indoor / stadiums etc.). The ability to bring containerized or...

I've been using 10T sprockets on my dirt Zero since 2015. They wear quickly (especially near the end), but have worked well so far.

If it were me, I'd wait until the '19 MX features are set in stone, then decide between a leftover '18, a '19, or waiting for the 2020 model. Why? Because IME timing is everything in a rapidly-evolving technology like electric MC's as features and prices change, dramatically sometimes. I'm so...
