    Thinking about making the plastics for alta

    They have been moving their warehouse and were too busy for anything else. I am hoping to learn more next month.

    Thinking about making the plastics for alta

    Really??? This is news to me. If someone indeed bought all the plastic they had, and there was a lot of it, there is no way they would be able to use it themselves. Either Liquid still has it, or it will show up on eBay under a different seller soon.

    code 37 high humidity in battery pack

    It must be said though, do not blast the lower back side of your battery with a pressure washer. There is a embrace and a breather hole there through which the battery breathes. Install a skid plate to stop collecting pounds of mud in that area.

    Thinking about making the plastics for alta

    If you do not care about color and style, try riding without the shrouds. This is my plan, after I figure some durable protection for the aluminium frame.

    Tesla ATV and Cybertruck

    Hmm... If Alta had unveiled the SMR, the ST, and some other cool concept, and collected 1/10th of what Tesla collected in refundable deposits, they would have still been in business. ...like an Alta quad with two battery packs and a 100-mile range.

    replace battery

    I can help get a new A-pack battery, but I do not think there are any new R-packs out there.

    What would you pay?

    I was going to say $8K for the MX and $9K for the MXR, if both have just 20 miles. They are almost brand new, and you will have a chance to poke the batteries with a laptop at the time of the purchase.

    Alta Multitool Laptop kit available to Lend

    I think the biggest contribution of @C5tor to the Alta community so far had been his awesome humor. If you decide to write a funny book, count me in for 10 copies!

    Alta Multitool Laptop kit available to Lend

    Great idea, @C5tor! I have moved this into the Resources sub-forum and also created a permanent link to it from Classifieds. This way it won't get deleted after six months. I would figure out the purchase price and ask for that as a security deposit. Yes, most of us here trust each other, but...

    Cone valve wp forks on an Alta

    Your namesake @Mark911 has the WP Cone Valve suspension on his MX. He installed a KTM front end and rear linkage. I have arrived to a conclusion that the "moves around a lot under me" attribute is inherent to the Alta. It could be due to the lower center of mass, or a higher concentration of...

    Tesla ATV and Cybertruck

    Aren't you going to miss your favorite sound and smell of a diesel engine? I think I may have a solution for you. You can load your diesel powered Alta supercharger into the Cybertruck's bed. Then you will have regained all the attributes of having a diesel truck, plus you'd never have to visit...

    My Moto Van build thread

    I am not retired yet, I wish! I work for a car company testing cars. When it gets too cold to test in Michigan, they send the cars and myself to Arizona to test. I am quite happy with the arrangement, just wish I was in Arizona a couple of months longer every year.

    My Moto Van build thread

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I have started my annual drive to Arizona. This is a good time to show you my height-adjustable bed in action! It is suspended from the roof on four cables. The round pipe shown below the bed rotates and pulls the four cables up or down. There is a worm gearbox...

    Russian Milandr CM250?

    Correction: This particular race has a dead engine start. So, it was a real holeshot.

    Help finding an Alta

    For motocross I would pick an MXR with its R-pack on any day. But for trail riding an MX with the A-pack will do just as well or better. There is no difference in the packs between the '17 MX and the '18 MX, is there?

    My Moto Van build thread

    Wow! I like your Ducato hatchback van! You picked the longest and the tallest body and extended it. That's a huge van! We also have long Fiat vans in the US, but not yet as tall as the one that you have. I also added a bed recently (pictures are coming). I always wanted to keep an "open floor...
