Had a fun riding day at Metcalf Motorcycle Park in San Jose today. It started out pretty foggy, but we saw about as many Altas in one spot as we are bound to see for a while. We ran into a few founders as well. I finally met Derek, Jeff, Nathan, and Derek’s daughter. With their four bikes, my...

Just stepping back a bit on the privacy thing. The Alta VINs have all been published in a number of places including multitool, so if someone wanted to use this for a VIN cloning scam, it is easy enough to find for all of the bikes. Same with VIN history lookups. A registry that ties a 3...

It’s not even green!

We actually have a Lost/Found/Stolen section already. Lost/Found/Stolen (altaownersforum.com)

That's a pretty good ratio of members to actual bikes in the wild! I wonder how many AOF members are (still) owners? I know a number of us have multiple bikes, but that sure sounds like a great representation of total owners out there, percentage-wise. As was stated before, I have never been...

Yeah, I let a guy ride my MX a few weeks ago. Always fun to see the huge goofy grin and listen to the yeeeehaws as they lay into the electric torque. He was so impressed, he went out and found a 2019 MXR to buy. Should be showing up this weekend.

I do still have the loaner kit. Drop me a PM if you want the details.

Well, now that it is apart, at least post some pics!

I think he would get more power out of the setup if he swapped out the muffler! It is obviously too restrictive for all of those electrons to flow freely. ;)

See if you have a 240v outlet in your garage. They don’t charge on 120v.

At the moment, the instructions we have for setting up MultiTool are no longer working correctly. Some of the versions for the prerequisites have been updated, so the MultiTool install is not finding the correct versions of some components to finish installing. Until someone smarter than myself...

Yeah, I just pasted in the page from the manual.

Page 117 in the manual describes removing the throttle. You loosen the T20 torx screw on the bottom, and the throttle should slide off. Those other funky screws hold the throttle together. There is also this thread. How to Remove the Throttle Housing-HELP

Cake was giving test rides at Carnegie OHV in Tracy, CA earlier in the Covid lockdown. I didn’t take a ride because they were only doing reservations at the time, and I hadn’t signed up earlier. My son and I were on our Altas. The Cake Kalk (Lime cake?) looked very small next to the Altas. It...

Remember to change the status from For Sale to Sold in the original post. Otherwise you will continue to get calls.

Did this bike get sold? If so, remember to change the status from "For Sale" to "Sold" on the original post. Otherwise, you will probably get a LOT of calls.

I use Acerbis Rally Pro hand guards. They fit with no prob and also work with the left hand rear brake. They have been really sturdy so far, especially on my son’s bike, which he has dropped a few times.

So what were some lessons learned about the course and the bikes. How did your batteries hold up? How did your charging situation work out? Was it fun? I can't really tell from the vids, but the course seemed a bit hard to follow at times. Maybe it was a bit more obvious in person. Can't...
