    No Trip Meter? (A cell phone mount option)

    On my way to the Bonehead Enduro (really), leaving in 5 mins. I hope my trip meter holds up. Lol.

    No Trip Meter? (A cell phone mount option)

    Yes, I'm way behind the curve just having bought my MXR, lots to learn. Trying to use the search function as much as I can, but on this one I just had to confirm. It's not a biggie at all, just odd. Going on a mellow dirt road ride tomorrow morning where I'm pretty sure I'll be using every...

    No Trip Meter? (A cell phone mount option)

    Hey guys, is there no trip meter function on the Alta's? The display on my '18 MXR does not seem to have that capability, and I did not see anything about a trip meter in the manuals. Seems very odd that that function would not be there, I was actually expecting 2 trip meters which seems pretty...

    Loading and Unloading your 150lbs Generator

    Same experience with my Coleman 5000 with my old wood ramp, I think its a 2x6 or something. Not the easiest way to get it in the bed of the truck, but way easier then lifting it. Same for sliding it down of course. My new B&S Q6500 is lighter then the Coleman so should be even easier. I don't...

    Loading and Unloading your 150lbs Generator

    I'm not familiar with using a mini crane on a pick up, don't see them around too much, but it looks like an excellent solution. For me, since I don't anticipate loading and unloading my generator too much, I think I'll see if I can get by without it, I'm already bursting at the seems in my tiny...

    Where did you ride your Alta today?

    ^^^ Sweet @ElectroBraap! And I saw your most excellent vid on Moon Rocks! Brought back some great memories of a winter riding trip we took down there years ago. Our late, good buddy Drew on the left, me on the right. Moon Rocks is bitter sweet for me, we had a great time but the mention of it...

    Map Selector Switch

    Do you guys know who the mfr or importer of that switch is? Perhaps we could contact them to see if they have the model with the Alta compatible connector? If not, I have a friend at Trailtech, I could try to contact him and see if they could supply the Alta compatible part, or at least let us...

    Loading and Unloading your 150lbs Generator

    Yes, I've been meaning to buy a come along for about 40 years now and was thinking it might be time to actually buy for this very purpose. And here's a pic of my lift table in action. We were prepping for a move, bringing stuff to recycling. Was home alone, my back was fubar'd that day, so...

    Loading and Unloading your 150lbs Generator

    I have the 500 lb capacity (I think) version of that table and love it, especially as I'm getting closer to 60 yrs old now. I have to keep reminding myself to use it instead of risking ending up on the ground writhing in pain from my bad disc in my back, Lol. I'm planning on using mine to load...

    Where did you ride your Alta today?

    I live literally 5 mins from I90 out here in WA State. For some reason it never occurs to me that I90 spans the entire continent. When I read this I was like, wait, what? I've never heard of this Area 51 track, where is it? Lol. Its only 39 hours and 2606 miles away! Sweet. I can visit the...

    Fast Charger Fan Not Turning On? - Fixed - Wires To Fan Were Cut

    Discovered the power leads to my fan were cut, soldered them back together and the fan is working now. The fan turns on immediately upon starting the charging sequence btw. I updated the title of this thread and the first post to indicate what the problem was and how to fix it in case anyone...

    Racing the MXR in muddy conditions

    I see, makes sense, thanks! And yes, I'm more concerned about the deep mud which makes everyone miserable, destroys bikes, and kills lap times. I guess we will just have to see, hopefully it will not rain and it will be a non-issue. Myself and bunch of my also older riding buddies have...

    Fast Charger Fan Not Turning On? - Fixed - Wires To Fan Were Cut

    THANK YOU! You just made my day. I will update the first post here so if anyone else has this question and searches for it in the future, the info will be easier to find. And I was hoping this was the case, that it turned on only as needed, since when I tested it yesterday, I was amazed at how...

    Fast Charger Fan Not Turning On? - Fixed - Wires To Fan Were Cut

    Thanks, good to know. I tried to get mine to spin up while it was charging, but it wouldn't.

    This partially addresses my question above, thanks for the clairvoyant reply, Lol. Ps: when was the last time you got to use the word clairvoyant? Lol.

    Racing the MXR in muddy conditions

    Very interesting. How did the Alta do with wheel spin and losing energy from wheel spin? Was range an issue for the mud race you did? I'm trying to figure out how the Alta's will do at the Starvation Ridge 24 hr race out here, it has ~20 mile laps which I think the Alta can do at race pace no...

    24 Hours of Starvation Ridge in WA -- October 26 & 27, 2019 (new dates)

    Just heard from Scott the owner/operator of the Starvation Ridge 24 Hr Race course, him and his wife are so cool and supportive. Here's the gist of it: Scott said: "Happy to see electrics coming out." Generators are allowed at night. The quieter the better. Mileage an be anywhere from 15 to 22...

    Racing the MXR in muddy conditions

    Ha ha! Exactly what I was thinking. I think I will give my electric pressure washer a break for a while until I learn more of the ins and outs of this new fangled lecky bike and go back to the old school hose, bucket, and sponge. And also exercising care with the hose too.

    Fast Charger Fan Not Turning On? - Fixed - Wires To Fan Were Cut

    Thanks for the input everyone! I'm kinda bummed, when I rec'd the shipment of the charger, the inner box had room to bounce around within the outer box, it wasn't packed properly in my opinion and I was worried about potential damage. Today was the first day I had a chance to set up the new...
