That's what I was wondering too. The OEM one is like a ridiculous $40+ a piece, and as we just established, they do not last. Bad design or bad material. My MX has a broken chain slider too.

I am not much of a hill climber, but I found it a lot easier to do on the Alta compared to my 2-stroke Husky. Climbing dusty/gravely/rocky uphills in Arizona that is. But I know what you are saying, when the traction is low the Alta's rear tire just keeps churning steadily, not...

What you need is a "Tractor Map". Ask Lyndon Poskitt where he got one.

I think Map 1 is your best bet. To prevent or limit the wheel spin you need just barely enough of power to get you up that hill. The less extra power you have -- the less wheelspin you can produce. My 2c. Do the two bikes have the same rear tires?

I screwed up one of these myself, but the rest were pretty much like yours when I got my MX (it was a dealer's demo and had a few miles on it). I agree, this is a very poor design. They spin and they pop. That might work on an iPhone but not on a racing machine. And your MXR is barely a month...

The cat is out of the bag! Marc is the head honcho at Atla. Thank you, Mark, for joining the forum and keeping us updated. We really appreciate it!!!

Amazing! Go Alta!!! Go Lyndon!

YAY!!! Lyndon might disagree, but to us the Alta fans, this news is almost as good at having the bikes recovered in time for the race! Thank you, Alta! (y)(y)(y)

Now I remember I also had that problem. The spokes are thinner than the wrench assumes.

Welcome, Flynryan. Thank you for the story, the pics and the video. It seems like almost every time an Alta enters a race, and it finishes, it wins it's class. What Alta needs is more local race wins to get more street cred. This is awesome!

IIRC, the spoke wrench appeared tight, and even incorrect size, but eventually it worked for me too.

Apparently, you need to press "Watch" at the top of the new thread to continue seeing replies to your posts. That seems to be a glitch that I cannot fix myself.

I have split off the dual generators discussion into a new thread here. It does not feel right to drool over the man's stolen generators, even though they are very nice.

You just need to add one of those 5kVA step-up transformers that @rayivers was talking about, and you are all set. Only 4 boxes to carry in/out of the truck/van. Or buy one 240V generator and roll it out.

Now, if there was a kit to connect those Generacs or Hondas in series...

They are light, compact and quiet, but underpowered for the Rapid charger. They generate only 10A instead of 16A. @rtf, are you implying those thin black wires somehow double the amperage? Can you even connect two AC sources together? Google says: You can't connect two AC sources in parallel...

I second that, KTMs use these types of connectors a lot.

From all my years doing data acquisition I have not learned how to put together connectors. Many of the compact ones require special tools. This one -- who knows... But I bet @MotoMinded knows how to deal with these.

The easy way is to order a new map switch. Which map are you stuck in? Does the bike run without it? Where is RadioShack when you need one?

Reading the Alta's Instagram post, it looks like both of the stolen bikes are Lyndon's.
