    Supermoto 17" wheels for EX(R) ?

    Yep, I can confirm this works. I had 7 mm worth of washers between the caliper and the axle lug bracket with a Yamaha front wheel when I ran a KYB SSS fork on my MX. It was pretty simple. But if you can space out the rotor instead, then it would make switching from dirt to road wheels a lot...

    Alta Fast charger

    Perhaps it might be the time to reach out to @MVetter from DigiNow. I heard their chargers can charge from almost any power source. Also, Rapid chargers are taking way too long to catch up with the demand for them. Most of us still do not have anything faster than the Standard charger.

    Rant: Motocross Action is Boring

    I think providing one bike and receiving a positive MXA review will create way more sales for Alta than several dealer demo bikes, which are just sitting there on the dealer's floor and are ridden by the dealership staff.

    The Alta Factory LHRB

    I just got one on eBay too, with a bracket. But it looks like new calipers were available. I saw them listed as available on more than one site.

    The Alta Factory LHRB

    2010 KTM 990 Supermoto SMT CALIPER REAR WITHOUT PADS $209.55 2007 KTM 950 Supermoto CALIPER REAR WITHOUT PADS $191.52 6001308000103 is not coming up anywhere. The pads should be $20-30. Depending on the quantity and complexity, I figure the bracket cost will be $50-100 each.

    The Alta Factory LHRB

    I source CNC machined parts from China all the time. I can get them machined there dirt cheap. Even after the shipping is paid the US machine shops still cannot compete on price. And the quality has been very good too, if the parts are not overly complex. The key is to pick the correct...

    Tesla Powerwall

    I have an update. NO TESLA POWERWALL FOR ME. On Sunday I sent $500 to Tesla to reserve a Powerwall. It was fully refundable, so why not? I hoped some technically knowledgeable person from Tesla would call me on Monday and talk me into into installing their product in my van. That never...

    Feedback on DC-area dealers?

    I think it might be too early to tell about the DC area dealers. Most of the East Coast became dealers less than half a year ago, and they probably didn't sell too many Altas yet, and even fewer of those Altas (if any) had problems that required dealer's attention. I wouldn't say that having a...

    240V Inverter in a Van or Truck

    It will be connected to the van's stock battery. No need for several large deep cycle batteries if the alternators are powerful enough to keep the stock battery from discharging under load.

    240V Inverter in a Van or Truck

    Nations Starter & Alternator tech guru Adam said that connecting two similar DC alternators in parallel is straightforward and does not require any additional hardware. So, I think I may have a new and improved recipe: RECIPE #2 1) Upgrade the stock alternator: 270 Amp High Output Alternator...

    Alta Fast charger

    You need to update you firmware at the dealer, and then you too can charge the SM from 220-240V.

    Mammoth MX Race Report

    Awesome!!! Thank you for the race report, Fog! If it continues to go like this, I will need to make a forum category for race reports, along with holeshot photo galleries!

    interesting tactic to reduce drag..

    Once the chain stretches a little though, this rear sprocket will get destroyed.

    An Open Petition to Alta to let us create our own maps (and to modify Map 3)

    Of course it should come from a budding manufacturer. With established manufacturers allowing all kinds of re-maps, it only makes sense if a budding manufacturer with its more nimble engineering team and less red tape would at least allow some of that, if not more.

    Coolant pump

    I tried spraying the battery with a mist sprayer. I think it helped, but I cannot quantify it.
