    ALTA SM NOT CHARGING,NO ERROR CODE, JUST SAYS"AC GROUND NOT DETECTED"

    just wanted to admit that this charger issue was most likely my own stupid fault. when I bought the bike the dealer said" it's got a smart charger so it won't overcharge the battery so just leave it plugged in and it will always be ready to ride". I've had the bike a little over 2 years and it...

    SM wheels and brakes on a non-SM

    yes sir factory alta warp 9 sm wheels. I'm not positive but I was told that the Sm's triple tree is wider than the ex or mx so I don't think that sm wheels would work no matter which front end you went with. I would check with rashid510 to be absolutely sure though. good luck, Sm's are a blast...

    Sometimes even the Alta isn't enough

    nothing worse than burying your bike, I've been in deeper and almost gave myself a heart attack getting it out. now I walk home and get the quad with the winch. I'm not just getting older, I am getting smarter(lazy er)

    ALTA SM NOT CHARGING,NO ERROR CODE, JUST SAYS"AC GROUND NOT DETECTED"

    gotta take a moment to say what a fine group of people are on/in this forum. as stated above I took my bike over to snydes today and he updated my Sm's firmware. unfortunately that didn't do the trick. snydes was on the phone with rashid510 most of the time I was there and I can't believe that...

    ALTA SM NOT CHARGING,NO ERROR CODE, JUST SAYS"AC GROUND NOT DETECTED"

    the dealer where I bought the bike is now out of business so that's a dead end and I don't know of any other Alta dealers in my area. if I can buy a laptop that runs linox how can I go about updating my firmware? ie..what do I need and how do I do it? I really love this bike and don't want it...

    ALTA SM NOT CHARGING,NO ERROR CODE, JUST SAYS"AC GROUND NOT DETECTED"

    the only Alta dealer that I knew of in the vicinity was stumpys (where I bought the bike) and they are not answering their phone. I don't know if it's a covid thing, they're on vacation or if they've gone out of business. I can't find any info online and I don't know how to find out what dealers...

    New Battery Tech - Nuclear Diamonds!

    while battery technology needs to, and will, advance, I believe that this is only the first baby step and not a giant leap forward. they are talking about low output batteries not electric bikes and/or cars. but still a good start. I only read this because my Alta sm is refusing to charge right...

    ALTA SM NOT CHARGING,NO ERROR CODE, JUST SAYS"AC GROUND NOT DETECTED"

    thanks but I have a lot of other options to check first. I really want to keep the charging system (method) I have. this is a street bike and I like to ride to work which is 3/4 charge from home. I really don't want to carry and set up a charger at work. still thanks for the input it is greatly...
