Is it feasible to design a new battery case, or modify the existing case, with cooling plates that use water? I envision the battery modules sitting on these cooling plates using the conductive paste, and then the plate sitting on the copper looking heat sinks. I've done some water cooling on...

Bell Moto 6, vintage late 90s I think...... lol. The entity that owns the property doesn't want anyone riding there. At all. They are serious about keeping it pristine.

A couple weekends ago we loaded up the bus, Airstream, bikes and pickup truck to spend a long weekend in the woods of North Eastern CT. This place is about as remote as you can get in CT, the drive in off the road is nearly 2 miles of dirt roads into the middle of this place. Keep in mind this...

Very cool looking!

Yup, reverse flood from the caliper up to the MC for the final purge. I used the gravity method to fill the line. I also topped off the foot MC before installing the Clake insert. What I found helpful was to pop out the plastic cap thingy inside the hand MC while bleeding/pump the lever. It...

The o-ring for the Clake insert seats on the bottom of the insert, between the insert and the bottom of the master cylinder. It's easy to pinch the oring because it doesnt fit snug on the insert. I used my finger to center the oring in the reservoir, then threaded the insert in. It made a...

Thank you! Great to have access to the firmware version and warranty info!

I've had some time to ride with the LHRB and without a doubt, it's amazing how much more control you have over the rear wheel. My setup keeps the rear foot brake. I found that with the LHRB I use the rear brake all the time when braking which has improved my riding and overall confidence...

The rules for this event state "Up to Six Bikes" to make up a Team. So, less than that is not an issue. I would think the minimum number of Altas would be 4 if everyone has a rapid charger, 5 with the standard charger at 240.

Looks like a minute or more per pit stop can be saved if we have an efficient way of mounting and then moving the transponder from bike to bike. Looks like one transponder is used per team so it needs to be moved from bike to bike. It took over a minute to cut zip ties, install wire, then...

I had all sorts of issues with bulbs on my BMW R1200GS. The dealer was using bulbs from China, not the BMW part numbered bulbs that were made in Germany.

A guy in town Im friends with does this event. I'll get more info on it from him

Who's up for a 6 bike Alta team for the Northeast 24 Hour Challenge in western New York July 20th & 21st 2019? Plenty of time to gather equipment and make a plan! Just to update the first post to save a lot of reading, our team consists of the following forum members: Our team consists of the...

Great thread! I was working on a list like this last night. I think I'll start a thread for the Northeast 24 Hour Challenge in western New York July 2019. I'd love to help put together a 6 bike Alta team for that event.

Errrrr....... This caught my attention: Chilton County is a dry county. No alcoholic beverages will be allowed on the pit area.

I thought about waiting for the MX-R. I bought a demo MX and don't regret it at all. I have the bike now, I can use it now, and enjoy it now. I usually wait a year after a new product is released, and if the next Alta iteration is that fantastic, I'll sell the one I have outright or trade it...

Does any happen to know what Alta uses for the blinker cluster switch? Is it off a KTM? Looks like there are several companies with clusters, I'm hoping to match whatever the EX comes with.

I'd be up for the NY 24h race. I have a friend that does that event. From what he says, it gets pretty hard at night...... I love challenges!

Agreed, it looks like a SM, and the description is generic Alta. I like the HP rating of 5042!

Looks like the dealers are getting the new SMR on the showroom floor 2019 Alta Motors Redshift SMR
