    240V Gasoline Generators

    Got my DuroMax XP4400E in the mail this week. The lawn mower seems to be overpowering my camera's microphone. The lawn mower's loudness in the video seems about the same as the generator, but in real world the lawn mower appears to be about 2x louder.

    240V Gasoline Generators

    Yes, and it is 220V in the rest of the world, more importantly in China. https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/220v-portable-generator.html What they do not have in the rest of the world is trusted user ratings, detailed specs, free shipping, free returns, and product support. When you factor these...

    The Alta Factory LHRB

    Butch probably got it for free as part of his friends and family discount program. It is not available to the general public yet, AFAIK. Is there a Brembo part number on this part? Just curious if Alta had to do any special piston sizing on it that is different from the clutch master cylinder...

    Video of one MXR owners total ride time

    Oh, one more thing. At low intensity, the MX and the MXR batteries will last the same. They are both rated at 5.8 kWh. But at high intensity (competition) the MXR will do much better because it loses less energy to heat.

    Yep, I had about the same experience, at least two hours when trail riding. It helps that he is riding mostly on hardback and rarely turns or uses brakes.

    Fasst Company rear brake return spring on an Alta

    When I first test-rode the Redshift, I immediately noticed that the rear brake was too grabby. My Husky TC250 rear brake is the same way too, but on the Alta you have no flywheel! The solution that I found is to install the Fasst Company rear brake return spring...

    Brake Mod and Foot Pegs

    Welcome to the forum, Silent! That's a pretty grippy looking rear brake pedal tip. Thank you for sharing. Good to know that there is an easy fix for those short and slippery stock tip pins. I think my Tusk foot pegs are using the same pins. I posted a picture here...

    Tusk foot pegs on an Alta

    Got these Tusk YZ250/450F foot pegs installed. They are working very well. Feet stay put and do not slide anymore. I'm more confident when standing up too. I have race tested them already, they work great. The installation was not very smooth though. Tusk left too much aluminum near the return...

    Metallica fans?

    I also recently thought about how suitable the name "lightning" is to Alta. It is both fast and electric.

    240V Gasoline Generators

    I've pulled the trigger on Generator #2 -- DuroMax XP4400E The wheel kit is a must. The electric start is cool. I would not want to pull the cord every time I want to turn it on (which will likely be several times a day). There are also generators with remote wireless starters, but none of them...

    Going racing on my Alta Redshift MX!

    It's official! I have led half of the race and also had the fastest lap time! Woo-hoo! The race started at a ridiculous 8am. I am not a morning person, I never liked sand, and I haven't raced in 3 years. I am crediting all the great results to the bike. Go Redshift...

    Going racing on my Alta Redshift MX!

    Upon reviewing the videos... The sight lap was 7 minutes long. I pulled over after just 27 minutes of racing. A total of 34 minutes on the track in deep sand. The last 1/8 of the battery was blinking when I pulled over. And, YES! I was leading the race after 3:10 minutes! I've led a half of...

    Going racing on my Alta Redshift MX!

    No thermal warning light. I was in Map 2 all throughout the race. Same power as in higher maps but delivered more smoothly, efficiently in the sand. Plus I really like the engine braking in Map 2. I've seen a thermal warning light only once, and that was on a hardpack track in Map 4.
