    FS PREDATOR 9500 Watt Inverter Generator

    I bought it to power the house for Sally. She'g gone and I think I can tough it out in a power failure. It's pretty quiet. I paid 2500 plus tax, so let’s say sell for $1300. Five hours on it. Screamin deal. https://www.harborfreight.com/9500-w...ator+generator Merlin, you need this.

    Mode Selector Switch Replacement

    2018 EX; mine seems to be stripped. I could assume that replacement is obvious once I start taking things apart, but I thought I might ask here for any bits of advice. Anyone done this?

    My 2018 EX 0006

    When Alta shut down I immediately bought another… from a dude here, Phlewid Films. Then I got 17” wheels from another awesome dude on here and… Electrotard! Huge fun since I live at the bottom of Mt Hamilton Road. Range is an issue, but I have only had to walk home once.

    The old range question and some other weird thing

    I have an EX with 17s and is an awesome supermoto and I live at the bottom of heaven. anyho, Mt Hamilton rd is about 20 miles, 4K vertical and 400 turns to the top. so the other day, I ride up there, keep it under 40 mph and have a bit less than 50% SOC indicated. Cool. so I turn off the key...

    Yesterday I rode an ICE bike

    I traded with George with a new KTM 250 two stroke. Nice bike. It was a work out though maintaining throttle control in the washboard bumps. Gave me arm pump. No LHRB, which also sucked. George of course thought MX019 was awesome. He thought it felt as light as the KTM. He wants one. yup, the...

    General Do Electric Motorcycles Ever Catch on Fire?

    Like laptops? Maybe Teslas? There is a lot on the internet, some might be true, most not. Have Altas ever had such an issue? Other e motos? This site is a rare source of credible information. Do tell, if you have the goods.

    Alta Range Anxiety

    The EXSM went into blinkymode about three miles from home. Almost home, it went into limp mode then 50 yards later then it was it was no go. I found a good driveway, met some neighbors, parked the bike, walked home and got the truck. It was amusing. Neighbors were cool. I looked at the odo. 29...

    ID the front brake rotor

    Can someone tell me the KTM part number for the 2018 EX front rotor? I asked here Alta Maintenance Items Quick Reference but…. Crickets.

    You with EX and EXR’s must do this…

    Tard it! OMG big fun. Admittedly I live at the bottom of a super twisty so I can enjoy railing and knowing I will get back home. 40 miles seems to be the range in map 1, way less in map 4. But map 4 is another motorcycle altogether…

    Stellantis

    A dude here works for FCA. Another dude here told me Stellantis is the second largest car manufacturer in the world. I liked to tell dudes their Jeep or Ram truck is a Fiat. The reference seems to have lost it’s significance. I was curious… About FCA Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is a global...

    MX, EX, SM I’ve had them all…

    And they so rock, in different ways. I bought the EX when things shut down, but was conflicted by the SM… that would be so fun, eh? but, range anxiety. But hey, I bought SM 0025 as an EX conversion and was relaxed. I rode it first as an EX, then as an a SM. Big fun. Mt Hamilton Road… And yeah, I...
