@swatdoc, Please read the stickey posts, they are there for a reason. Plug your coolant overflow hose

I spent most of the day today researching various RV power outlets, NEMA connectors, and extension cords. Despite having an engineering degree, I was still pretty clueless about electricity. I am learning. And now I know just enough to be dangerous! Today I finally understood what a "bridged...

Yep. You could also read Page 1 of the current thread.

It has been said and confirmed before. DO NOT BUY such adapters. They are not wired correctly. You will blow up something.

Tesla's used 5.3kWh 24V batteries sell for ~$1,400 on eBay. They are pretty small, weigh only 55 lbs, and are almost enough to fully charge the Redshift from empty. Just add a BMS, a charge controller, a 24V inverter/charger, and perhaps a few fail-safe systems. This video also shows some...

Is it a non-competitive ride? You should be able to do 30 miles in Map 2, but yeah, I would be safe and start in Map 1 in case the ride gets difficult or you get lost in the woods, LOL. Good luck to you!

Only 3 weeks left! Here is a link to the Rich Scott's endurocross thread: Signed up for Endurocross

No, not yet. But this is the time of the year when motorcycle manufacturers are already selling '19 models. The EXR is sold as a '19 model already. We should see the '19 MXR and '19 SMR pretty soon!

You guys are both amazing. Sell me another Alta, and quickly! Can't wait to see what the new models will have.

Why wait for Alta? DIY LHRB that keeps the foot brake

I think I should re-post the DIY LHRB recipe, which is buried on Page 6 of The Alta Factory LHRB thread. Here is the recipe: 1) Brembo clutch 9mm master cylinder KTM P/N 79202030044 from the 2017 KTM SX-F 250/350 2) Clutch hose KTM P/N 60032063100 from the 2014+ KTM Adventure (must straighten...

I did some forum housekeeping today: Created a new Technical --> Firmware sub-forum and moved some firmware-related threads there. Most of them were buried in General Discussion before. I am expecting this sub-forum to grow as we are learning more about firmware and how it controls the...

@AltaSF -- Are your ears burning? :D

@Judaslefourbe has volunteered to keep us informed about new firmware releases. We now have a new Firmware sub-forum! I have moved this thread and a few others into the new Firmware sub-forum.

More acronyms and nomenclature. SAE J1772 (IEC Type 1), also known as a "J plug", is a North American standard for electrical connectors for electric vehicles maintained by the SAE.

Oh no, another electric acronym. EVSE - Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment control. It is a protocol to help keep you and your electric car safe while charging.

How would you sort out the bad batteries, especially after they are soldered together? Also, how to charge and discharge them safely? Are these pretty safe if you do not put high currents into or out of them?

That's not fair, you had a head start!

I have another idea. How about designing a protective cover or bracket for the rear brake cylinder? If done right, it would prevent that failure from happening on other bikes, or hold the cylinder in place if this failure has already occurred. Design it in CAD, CNC machine a few pieces, and...

It's $100 for the long LHRB line, or $300 if Alta won't sell it separately, plus dealing with not having the foot brake. Or $658 plus the installation labor. Or welding, machining, plus the installation labor. Or making some bracket contraption to keep the bottom on the cylinder in place.
