Update I got back from my travels over the weekend and was hopeful that the dealer would have received the replacement Alta laptop to diagnose the inop water pump while I was gone. The dealer is still waiting for a replacement. I arranged to have the bike shipped to the dealer while I was...

My Alta is in the living room. During the winter I'll move it to the basement or the hallway. It was kinda neat to "ride" my new motorcycle inside the house!

Ah! Good to know. I was dreading asking the dealer if they made changes to suspension.

I wonder how the regen functions compares between map 2 and 3. Is it possible that map 2 has more regen and that it makes a tangible improvement in ride time?

Since people are talking about stock suspension I decided to take a look at what my bike came with.... the rear shock spring has WP 63-265 on it. My bike is a 2017 MX that was used as a demo. It appears that the dealer changed the suspension.

Very interesting!

How were you notified? Mail?

I’ll buy them. Haven’t figured out how to PM you

I’d like to have the software as well. Having to bring the bike to the dealer which is 2 hours away is an all day affair. My time is worth the cost of system.

I got a call back from the Ranger station at Pachaug in CT. If its electric, it doesnt need to be registered to ride there! CT doesn’t consider electric motorcycles a motorcycle, therefore it doesn’t need to be registered. You need a license, but not even a motorcycle license. The ranger was...

Dont forget each dealers charge destination charge which varies by manufacturer.

Here's an update: The eastern service rep replied with the following: Hi Mark, Sorry you are having issues with your water pump. This behavior is not normal. In looking at the info for your VIN, it appears that the firmware is not up to date. This is the first thing that needs to happen for...

Ray, do you have a light kit on your bike? I can see this being an issue with the Rangers at Pachaug.........

It does not say ‘Off Road Only’. I can confirm that. I called the CT motor vehicle department yesterday to ask what was needed to register an electric motorcycle. I got put on hold for 17 minutes. I then tried reaching the Inspection dept and no one answered. I plan on plating my MX to...

Ah, thanks for the email address. I’ll send Alta an email today and see what they have to say.

I connected the charger to check if the pump comes on. The display indicates its charging, but the pump is not running. I'll leave it charging and check it in 30 minutes or so. Update: 20 minutes later and the pump is definitely not running.

Thanks Ray, I read the same excerpts from the manual. I'll have to give the dealer a call tom'w and see how they want to handle it. Does any one have direct access to people at Alta that will reply to an email?

I walked across the living room to the bike and put my hand on the pump while I turned on the keyed switch. The pump pulses four times when the key is turned, then nothing. Seems logical that Alta would control the pump based on the battery temp, turning it on only when it's needed, to save...

I was able to ride about 5 miles this evening. I noted that the coolant pump doesn't come on with the ignition. Actually, it never came on. I read here that the pump comes on with the ignition. I was curious if was battery pack temperature dependent. Is it a consensus that the pump runs...

Ducan, I’m in NE Connecticut and picked up a 2017 MX from Paul this morning. He said to say hello! I’ll be doing some NETRA and JDay events. Maybe I see you at one. It’ll be a couple weeks before I get back from a business trip but I’m really looking forward to getting out there with this...
