    Throtle Problem Alta

    The ELMOFO Hirschmann is not the correct throttle for the 2018 MXR. The MXR use a dual redundant version with 2 x Hall effect transistor circuits… also made by Hurshmann. It has a 6-pin JST connector (3-pins for each Hall effect circuit)

    LED tail/brake light and blinker conversion

    Through my own testing I found the ACM has both a minimum and a maximum expected current load of all lamps. So all you have to do is find those 2 points and use lamps that have loads within those parameters. I have the original turn signals and brake lamps if you need that data.

    Alta Multitool Download

    Bought an 2018 Alta MXR that came with an IBM Thinkpad and Multitool and the dongle etc... Does anyone know the Ubuntu user password for the user "redshift" (without the quotes) ? Only 1 user created.

    Varg charging from generator.

    That’s a slow charge. Varg & Alta both use the same Elcon 3.3KW charger. So the generator requires a generator with an inverter for a pure sine wave output with a constant 3.3KW output (not including the inefficiency of the Elcon) I use a Briggs & Stratton Q6500 (6500 watts peak) abt 95lbs...

    Looking for suspension specs to set SAG on 2018 MXR - have a Motool sag adjustment tool

    Nice! Where did you attach the glue-on plastic hook? (was thinking of going straight up to the fender if I can compensate for the additional length somehow)

    Looking for suspension specs to set SAG on 2018 MXR - have a Motool sag adjustment tool

    Per the user manual: (measuring from the button on axle top the rear tip of number plate) 534mm unloaded & 504mm static or 30 mm static sag. ( (Will throw all my gear on the bike and take the race sag and post that here.) Would you have a recommendation for using the Motool since it attaches to...

    Looking for suspension specs to set SAG on 2018 MXR - have a Motool sag adjustment tool

    Never mind! - found the original spring (bought the bike used and it came with a 42-260. Now I have a 48-254 - so it makes a lot more sense. 1/4" shorter spring...what is the ride height multiplier caused by the linkages? To me the bike feels great - he fixed the extremely stiff front and the...

    Looking for suspension specs to set SAG on 2018 MXR - have a Motool sag adjustment tool

    Thanks Phillip! I tried entering the keyword “sag” into the general (not advanced) search which didn’t produce a result. Advanced search works.

    Looking for suspension specs to set SAG on 2018 MXR - have a Motool sag adjustment tool

    Would be nice to know the optimum static & rider sag for both forks and shock. Did not see it in the Alta user manual or in this forum.

    Replacement handlebar?

    flipped the bike and smashed the dual sensor Hirschmann throttle and LCD. Cracked the glass: still had backlight and bike still worked but no graphics. Looks like the microprocessor chip also drives the graphics and i suppose it popped only that portion of the chip, cuz soldering in a new LCD...

    Replacement handlebar?

    Which Flexx bars most closely match the geometry of the Neken R00182 ? Did you have to relocate the display?

    Alta throttle - all there is to know

    I don’t see that working even if the Alta safety checks were bypassed because a real clutch works by capturing the flywheel action of the motor which is a lot more instantaneous power than the power band of electric bikes w/o that feature. My workaround is to keep the stock MXR 12T/53T gear...

    Alta throttle - all there is to know

    Excellent teardown. The 2-sensor design might be used for redundancy AFTER startup checklist but BEFORE startup, it is used as a parity check to confirm throttle position. Both sensors are required to work or the ACM will not pass the startup checklist. Here is a link to their datasheet...

    Want to buy Alta Vault - Display guard

    I am also looking for an Alta Vault (Display Guard). Noticed the maker’s web site is down. Are they not being made any more? And if not, then does anyone have the CAD file to have one made?
