    2019 / 2020 wish list

    Yes, I was thinking about asking one of the motorcycle luggage companies to make a soft bag that fits in that space. There are no such companies near me though, and they will need to measure a motorcycle to make it. Someone who lives nearby should contact these motorcycle luggage...

    It's only 13 days until Round 2 - Costa Mesa, CA - September 15, 2018. Who is going to attend in person?

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    Maybe they could be wired in series too! I would love to try a 65 hp Alta Redshift! May need to hack the controller for that.

    First race on the MXR - 450 Novice at Pala (Fox) Raceway.

    Awesome! Congrats with a win! That's some fast track with long jumps! I was at Pala last December, and I do not remember these sections, is this the Vets track?

    240V Inverter in a Van or Truck

    Here, I found a 12V volt to 48 volt DC/DC battery charger for lead acid and lithium batteries. The price is $1,275. I think I have made the right choice to stay with 12V. The only drawback so far has been the 4/0 AWG wires between the batteries and the inverter.

    Motocross tires

    No problems. Some like more traction in the rear, some do not. I have no problems doing brake slides or power slides on the Alta with this rear tire.

    External Charger Fault???!!!

    Maybe the generator is not powerful enough today? The charger would shut off if the generator is overloaded. You need 240V x 16A = 3,840W running power. Your 3,200W generator is probably rated at 2,800W running, or less.

    240V Inverter in a Van or Truck

    Nice! It is 48V, right? Are there some inexpensive 12-48 DC-DC chargers on the market that I could use to charge it from the truck's alternator, if I have to?

    Motocross tires

    I am running Dunlop MX12 in 110x19. It is an all-around tire for the sand and soft dirt tracks around here. I installed a smaller sprocket and effectively made the chain two links longer than stock so that I could run the rear tire 5/8" farther back and not rub the "airbox" as much.

    Rumor: Harley-Davidson and Alta Motors Are Parting Ways

    I think Judaslefourbe would really love to update us, but he values his job more.

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    I wonder if some geeky owner, like @Mark911 , could duct tape a bunch of 18650 batteries together and wire them in parallel with the stock battery, without the controller noticing?

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    Ok, you've won, I admit, it is horrible. If it weren't for KTM owning WP, WP would have been out of business 20 years ago.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    It is not a warranty or a recall item. The shock is not broken, unsafe to ride, or horrible. There are even some riders who do not find anything wrong with it. It is just not as stiff as many of us would like it to be. I tried to get Alta to share stiffer shim stack specs for the MXR, but as of...

    That has been the plan for Alta for 2018, but it didn't work out. They were not allowed.

    Warning light

    Alta recommends swamp coolers. The OP found this works: Arctic misting fan

    Recent Press & Observation

    It's always nice to see an article about Alta in a popular publication. Yes, that would be nice. But I think the Monster Energy Cup will be more difficult to enter than other races. There is a $1M on the line. Alta should keep racing the Red Bull Straight, Loretta Lynn's, and figure out ways to...

    Best Alta Generator

    I think this is the best alternative to two small generators and a step-up transformer: Best Alta Generator

    Best Alta Generator

    This will work. But you will be carrying three large and heavy items, plus the charger. It will be quiet, but more complex and expensive than one simple 240V generator. @Mark911 was going to tell us what he had to do to make his favorite generator quiet. EDIT: Actually, he already did say it...
