    Little brass thread inserts in plastic -- How to fix

    I too am experiencing the brass inserts pulling out of the rear fender (I will spare you the picture). I also noticed that the subframe brass inserts on the right side are cracked. Not sure why/how this is occurring but I am disappointed in the durability of the plastic. I have only 7 hours on...

    Alta MXR at Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Utah

    Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you got fixed up right away. Your orthopedist was correct about stabilizing the shoulder by fixing one or the other. Hopefully your scapula will mend correctly. If you do have issues with the scapula this is the guy you want on the job: Peter Cole, MD...

    Wen 4,750/3,800-Watt Generator

    They don't list the total harmonic distortion so that concerns me. I use this one https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200664806_200664806 on 240v with the standard charger. The claim less than 5% tota harmonic distortion and safe for electronics. I also got a 50 foot extension cord...

    How dirty can you be?

    I am by means no expert but the inverter generators can and do provide very clean electricity along with being very quiet. The issue with the inverter based generators is that very few produce 240 volts (which is what I want to shorten charge time in the field) and if they do they are north of...

    Favorite off road helmet?

    For the best protection, in my opinion, you want something that has MIPS technology. In a nutshell it lessens the the potential for a concussion. You can read about it here TECHNOLOGY | MIPS. I personally use a 6D helmet and you can read about them here ATR-2 - 6D Helmets. They are a little...

    Sprint enduro

    A 15 minute charge at 240v on the standard charger should fill the battery up about 12.5%. 240v*12a = 2880watts/hour. 2880watts/(60mins/15mins) = 720 watts per 15 minutes of charge. Looks like you were getting about 5.3 miles per 1000 watts so 5.3*.720kw = about 3.8 miles for a 15 minute charge...

    Error: Service Required Pos Weld

    The dealer called today and said that Alta is sending a new replacement battery so that is the good news. The bad news is that they could not give a definite shipping timeline so it could be a up to couple of weeks before I get my bike back.

    I am sure they will. I just need to be patient but it is really hard to do because I really would like to ride.

    Error: Service Required Pos Weld

    Called the dealer today and unfortunately there is not much to report. The data has been downloaded from the bike and it is in Alta's hands. From what I understand they have sent the data to engineering so that implies it won't be a quick fix (I hope I am wrong). I am a little disappointed that...

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    What about using the throttle to activate these features when turning the throttle backwards. Reverse Mode 1) Turn throttle backwards (lets use the rollback issue to our advantage) to activate reverse - dash could blink to indicate in reverse. 2) And motor is detected at zero speed 3) Now turn...

    Battery life??

    Fun fact; the EPA calculates that 33.7 kilowatt-hours of electricity is the equivalent to one gallon of gas. So, the Alta battery is equivalent to about .17 gallons of gas (5.8/33.7). So, lets say for argument sake you get 30 miles out a a full battery; that would be about 176 mpg equivalent...

    Gear oil change

    Check out page 95 step 8. It is kind of buried in the GEARBOX COVER - REMOVAL & INSTALLATION section.

    Took my bike to the dealer. They are going to download the data from it and send it to Alta. Hope it is an easy fix as I would like to ride this weekend.

    Protective case for charger.

    I found a nice protective case for my charger at of all places, Sams Club. It is $40 which is not a bad price for a case of this size. It is in-store only for those that have a Sams Club and here is a link to it: Member's Mark 22" Protective Safety Box - Sam's Club
