I would get a 2nd hand cheap laptop and devote it to Linux and Multitool. That is what I did. SM maps require only the inverter fw to be uploaded. I think it Should work on R bikes as well, but I am not sure.

Perfect. Thanks Steve.

Not strictly related, but how do I charge a module (one of the four) to bring its voltage back up, so the Alta charger can identify it & start charging and balancing the pack? Any 70v lipo charger can be used? Talking about a bike that went into deep discharge, that the charger will not start...

i would make the effort, and get a Technician multitool laptop (sooner or later, you'll need it). there is a speicific thread about it - How-To : Install and Use Alta Multitool Software it makes uploading SM maps super easy.

This is my Zero FX facebook page. You'll find there useful information - https://www.facebook.com/Zerofxebike/

I had a Zero FX for 3 years and used it for dirt riding only. The 5.8 battery version last about the same as the Redshift's battery. The newer FX have larger capacity batteries. 4-5 hours of trail riding is unrealistic IMO. Slow technical enduro may last that long. Chain conversion is a must...

You need to upload the SM inverter fw via multitool. The software is included in the multitool firmware package.

Can you post a video (with sound) of the problem?

Do you guys use the SM firmware? There is very pronounced differences between the 4 maps in the SM firmware. The mx/r ex/r maps are not that different from one another. I highly recommend using the SM maps (I use it for my EX as well).

I usually run 8-10 psi and surprisingly don't have flats (will probably change after I'll hit enter). Most riders around here use mousses. They becoming cheap and equal lower and lower psi. Not long ago they equaled 15+ psi, so traction was a problem. I'd also suggest rear Shinko 525 and front...

As for front tire - I love the Shinko 216 fatty on my EX. These fat tires can handle everything. This tire, however, does have a tendancy to throw its outer knobs. Be adviced.

The Michelin Starcross medium is considered an excellent all rounder, and may work well for your type of terrain. I personnaly found it too stiff for rocks. I now use the Kenda 779 Gauntlet enduro. It's real gummy and wide at 140/80. Incredible grip on all types of terrain, but probably won't...

Thank you. Very usefull

Unacceptable during the corona outbreak. This is my only retreat 😉

This 16 years old Israely rider is the number 1 rider in Israel. He competed not long ago in Romaniacs (Gold category) and finished in 16 place, If I am not mistaken. One hell of a rider. Short video worth watching -

Exactly. The Equilibrium tall profile made it rub on the swingarm's front.

Would like to try a 140/80 rear tire (Kenda Gauntlet K779) on my EX. I now use the Kenda Equilibrium which is great for the winter, but looking now for loose dirt + rocks. Suitable tire (gummy). Had to add 2 links to the chain in order to fit the Equilibrium. Anyone tried a 140/80?

I tried the MX fw on my EX. All lights worked as before.

Because of this discussion, I replaced the gear oil today (it was after I accidently submerged the bike, don't ask..). The used oil was grey and creamy. Replaced it with a Liqui-moli 75w. Look at the photo, the difference between the old and new oil is quite striking. I think the creamy color...

I had the same experience & great support from them as well. Revived my EX (BCU fail). I live in Israel & got the assistance from half way around the world. Becaue of this, my bike is in perfect condition.
