    240V Inverter in a Van or Truck

    Nice! It is 48V, right? Are there some inexpensive 12-48 DC-DC chargers on the market that I could use to charge it from the truck's alternator, if I have to?

    Motocross tires

    I am running Dunlop MX12 in 110x19. It is an all-around tire for the sand and soft dirt tracks around here. I installed a smaller sprocket and effectively made the chain two links longer than stock so that I could run the rear tire 5/8" farther back and not rub the "airbox" as much.

    Rumor: Harley-Davidson and Alta Motors Are Parting Ways

    I think Judaslefourbe would really love to update us, but he values his job more.

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    I wonder if some geeky owner, like @Mark911 , could duct tape a bunch of 18650 batteries together and wire them in parallel with the stock battery, without the controller noticing?

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    Ok, you've won, I admit, it is horrible. If it weren't for KTM owning WP, WP would have been out of business 20 years ago.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    It is not a warranty or a recall item. The shock is not broken, unsafe to ride, or horrible. There are even some riders who do not find anything wrong with it. It is just not as stiff as many of us would like it to be. I tried to get Alta to share stiffer shim stack specs for the MXR, but as of...

    That has been the plan for Alta for 2018, but it didn't work out. They were not allowed.

    Warning light

    Alta recommends swamp coolers. The OP found this works: Arctic misting fan

    Recent Press & Observation

    It's always nice to see an article about Alta in a popular publication. Yes, that would be nice. But I think the Monster Energy Cup will be more difficult to enter than other races. There is a $1M on the line. Alta should keep racing the Red Bull Straight, Loretta Lynn's, and figure out ways to...

    Best Alta Generator

    I think this is the best alternative to two small generators and a step-up transformer: Best Alta Generator

    Best Alta Generator

    This will work. But you will be carrying three large and heavy items, plus the charger. It will be quiet, but more complex and expensive than one simple 240V generator. @Mark911 was going to tell us what he had to do to make his favorite generator quiet. EDIT: Actually, he already did say it...

    Best Alta Generator

    That's correct. You have to have a true 240V somewhere in the house for this Quick220 to work. The unit is nothing but an inverted Y-splitter with some safety checks built in.

    Tesla pickup truck

    It looks ugly. Model S and a washing machine had a baby.

    Maintenance & no-maintenance blues

    I feel for you. I have had my trusty 2005 CRF250 sitting in the garage for a year already, and all it needs is an oil change, a new filter, and maybe a new piston.

    Rumor: Harley-Davidson and Alta Motors Are Parting Ways

    Coincidentally, a Harley Davidson headhunter contacted me today via LinkedIn. My LinkedIn profile does not say anything about motorcycles, only automotive vehicle dynamics. So I checked the job description and their marketing spiel: More Roads to Harley-Davidson | Harley-Davidson USA "We are...

    Rumor: Harley-Davidson and Alta Motors Are Parting Ways

    This is just in: "Our sources tell us that Harley-Davidson has all but removed itself from its joint motorcycle project with Alta, and backed out of its involvement in the San Francisco startup." Harley-Davidson and Alta Motors Are Parting Ways Interesting. I hope Alta is not cash strapped...

    Pro Motocross 2018

    Okay, the best Roger DeCoster was able to do on a CZ was 3rd at the world championship. I also haven't won any 1st places on a CZ.
