    ALTAnalyser - tool to display bike data - interessted?

    I am assuming Rakesh sent you a PM answering your questions. The data on the Alta is logged whenever the key is on or charger connected and can be viewed graphically like any typical logger, or monitored in real time. Most, if not all sensor values are logged and can be interpreted.

    ALTAnalyser - tool to display bike data - interessted?

    It's good to hear that progress is being made in this department. If any owners need to look at detailed data at any point, I am in Atlanta and have the ability to do that directly from the bike, along with normal dealer diagnostics. I'd be happy to assist. I'm not sure if the server is still...

    Service 9 volt starter battery?

    There is a parasitic drain somewhere. This will likely happen repeatedly. The battery is designed to last for ten years in normal use. Unfortunately, with no parts right now, it will be difficult to solve. For a little bit of help, you can actually maneuver the ACM and get the cover off without...

    Local dealer says they’re still a service center

    Most support/diagnosis, warranty or not, involves uploading data to a server and having engineering review it. I don't know that the server is available anymore, and there are no engineers to review it.

    Year differences

    Changes were made at an incredible pace, remember 17 was only the first year. Dealer laptops will not be able to see data such as motor temps. They can output that info, but they cannot view it.

    Alta Error Codes

    We did one. Don't know why it's not there.

    Someone here, who got the ALTA EX or SM already streetlegal for Europe?

    Judaslefourbe knows way more about it than me.

    Someone here, who got the ALTA EX or SM already streetlegal for Europe?

    If I recall correctly, all street legal vehicles in Europe need to have ABS. That was one of the hurdles Alta faced as it prepared to setup a dealer network there, along with RF emissions from the ACM.

    Charging the SM with the stand alone charger?

    You would need to change the entire wire harness and the DCCP, plus update firmware. That's probably not possible, because those parts can't be purchased from Alta anymore. Only solution I can think of is to put SM suspension and wheels on an EX as described above.

    Alta Error Codes

    There is a threshold, and I can't recall what the voltage is, where the ACM will issue the warning on the dash. If it is present, the battery should be replaced. There usually is some condition present that is causing the battery to drain, so it's important to determine what that is. Once the...

    Alta Error Codes

    Alta always recommended that the dealer hook up the laptop anytime any work was done. Just standard procedure. I think you can replace the battery (if that is indeed the problem) and codes will go away on their own. The batteries are designed to endure 10 years of normal use. If owners are...

    Alta Error Codes

    Make sure the battery is exactly the same model. L522 lithium. Lowe's usually stocks them.

    “Cycle key to clear battery error” with dead battery

    It's possible that it's the 9v. Make sure you replace it with the exact same type of battery. You can find them at Lowe's and I believe the guys at WMR keep them in stock. About disassembling the pack: Besides the obvious high voltage danger, note that all the packs were pressure tested at the...

    Alta Error Codes

    Out of almost 1000 bikes, I think I saw three instances of contactor weld. That's not really too terrible.

    Alta Error Codes

    What Rashid posted are the charger fault codes which are listed in the diagnostic application on the dealer laptops. The code 32-38 are battery fault codes not related to charging.

    Alta Error Codes

    This error indicates a problem with the mechanical relay that puts the battery online. There is a bump in the top cover of the battery - this is where the contactor lives. Sometimes, and I stress the word sometines, you can rap that bump with a plastic mallet and free up the contactor. We had a...

    Can you adjust the steering head angle and offset

    For those here that are removing triple clamps, be aware that Alta changed the torque value on the clamp bolts to 14 Nm towards the end.

    load / resistance spec for aux / 12v circuit

    I don't have that circuit diagram. However, I can't see it being an issue. If the low beam breaker is tripped and you switch to it, the power supply would not interrupt or change. Interesting discovery on your part and something to take note of for owners of EX and SM models. Nice work.
