    Lyndon Poskitt's entire kit stolen enroute to Erzberg...Alta Motorcycles Content - TELL EVERYONE

    Apparently, you need to press "Watch" at the top of the new thread to continue seeing replies to your posts. That seems to be a glitch that I cannot fix myself.

    Lyndon Poskitt's entire kit stolen enroute to Erzberg...Alta Motorcycles Content - TELL EVERYONE

    I have split off the dual generators discussion into a new thread here. It does not feel right to drool over the man's stolen generators, even though they are very nice.

    Lyndon Poskitt's dual Honda generators

    You just need to add one of those 5kVA step-up transformers that @rayivers was talking about, and you are all set. Only 4 boxes to carry in/out of the truck/van. Or buy one 240V generator and roll it out.

    Lyndon Poskitt's dual Honda generators

    They are light, compact and quiet, but underpowered for the Rapid charger. They generate only 10A instead of 16A. @rtf, are you implying those thin black wires somehow double the amperage? Can you even connect two AC sources together? Google says: You can't connect two AC sources in parallel...

    Help - map wiring... and KTM connectors

    I second that, KTMs use these types of connectors a lot.

    Help - map wiring... and KTM connectors

    From all my years doing data acquisition I have not learned how to put together connectors. Many of the compact ones require special tools. This one -- who knows... But I bet @MotoMinded knows how to deal with these.

    Help - map wiring... and KTM connectors

    The easy way is to order a new map switch. Which map are you stuck in? Does the bike run without it? Where is RadioShack when you need one?

    Lyndon Poskitt's entire kit stolen enroute to Erzberg...Alta Motorcycles Content - TELL EVERYONE

    Reading the Alta's Instagram post, it looks like both of the stolen bikes are Lyndon's.

    Lyndon Poskitt's entire kit stolen enroute to Erzberg...Alta Motorcycles Content - TELL EVERYONE

    Good idea to post this on your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, any social media. There is "an average degree of separation of 3.43 between two random Twitter users". With enough of tweets you can reach the thieves themselves, or their next door neighbors...

    Could it be the same color order as on the male part?

    Help - map wiring... and KTM connectors

    There is a small white connector behind the number plate, near the middle. The other wire from that connector appears to be joining the left loom that sticks out from under the "gas tank" cap. BTW, that gas tank cover is called "delta wing". Need to add this to the Alta's dictionary.

    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    Friday is the first race, so they have to have the bikes in Erzberg and race ready by Thursday night at the latest. I am just hoping that those two bikes were both Lyndon's and Ty has a spare. Else, no amount of money would get Alta into this race. The worst timing possible.

    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    OMG! This is horrible. Were those both Lyndon's bikes, or one his and one TT's? That's amazing how anyone could do such a heist without a meticulous prior planning. Stealing both bikes, generators and gear in under 20 minutes. Who the hell will be able to ride them in the UK unnoticed anyway...

    Alta Redshift MXR and MX on a Dyno - Riding Maps Demystified

    No problem, I am glad to explain. Normally the dynos measure the HP that is required to spin the dyno's drum (HP at the rear wheel). They also measure the RPM by reading a spark plug wire. You can already plot the HP vs RPM accurately. From the ratio of the dyno's speed to the engine's RPM it...
