    Kickstand repair

    Sure! If I go the welding route I'll update with results. I use my kickstand a lot during rides to clear the trail, it's great to have it working well again.

    General 2018 MXR Quick Start Guide

    OK, thanks - I did see those, and I have a 2019 MXR QSG which shows different maps than the ones in my '18 feel like. If none of them are accurate, though, maybe I'm better off just using my butt. :)

    Kickstand repair

    My kickstand was getting shorter :) - it's been angling forward more and more. I didn't realize how bad it was till I put the WP shock back on for fork testing (my shorter Ohlins was still apart) and the kickstand would barely keep the bike upright. The Alta kickstand is high quality and well...

    General 2018 MXR Quick Start Guide

    Does anyone have one of these? I don't think I got one with my bike. I'm looking for the map/regen info - thanks.

    Want to buy EX / EXR/SM Lower Headlight Mount

    You might want to give them a shout to check - as of late last year they still had unlisted parts. I was looking for the rear brake line holder and they made up an ebay auction immediately for me, worked out great.

    Flux Performance - eMX startup from Europe

    Wow, sounds great - lots of nice features. I assume it will be available in the US at some point?

    Anyone Using 16:53 Gear Ratio

    The acceleration chain torque has an anti-squat effect - it pulls down on the top of the rear sprocket and up on the front sprocket, extending the rear suspension & lifting the frame. My wheelie-practice bike's rear wheel is locked in a floor chock w/no brake, and the anti-squat effect topped...

    Terrific - but will it be effective off-road ?

    +1 ! Point and shoot. :)

    Terrific - but will it be effective off-road ?

    In map 4 w/stock tires I was able to slowly accelerate (not just roll) my MXR on sheet ice, with little or no wheelspin. On ICE bikes I always rated my throttle control as 'poor', but after getting used to the Alta things are better now, mostly due to the bike.

    Stark Varg foot or hand brake?

    Agreed - I'd definitely go for it. It's good to know they've already worked out the details for the accessory LHRB to work with the foot brake.

    Stark Varg foot or hand brake?

    I asked Mike Lorenzo at Stark whether the hand-brake option included the foot brake, he replied this AM: "No it doesn't. If you choose foot brake the hand brake is not included and viceversa but you will be able to buy it later in our Parts and Accessories."

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    +1. Honestly, If the Varg is even close to my MXR and Stark stays in business for 5+ years post delivery, I'll be ecstatic. :)

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    +1, but in this case I'm going to pony up the $100 as a demand indicator. IMO it's especially important for US and other distant-country buyers to do this, as it may make Stark more likely to set up dealers (or at least importers) there. According to the Stark terms and conditions, the order...

    drop and pop

    When I was 19 I did something very similar, by mistake - flew off a steep 50' hillclimb onto the flat approach to it. I was going faster & got about the same air time, landing on the front wheel :(. I bent the forks but didn't crash. No wish to repeat.

    My Output Shaft Snapped.

    Idk about the motor-shaft thing, but if you're concerned about it here's another tool I really like - the Motion Pro 08-0008 clutch holding tool. I've used it for a bunch of other things too, it's pretty versatile. Without protection it might chew the gear teeth a little, but if you're...

    My Output Shaft Snapped.

    I've had good luck with the Motion Pro 08-0427, on both straight-cut and helical. It seems to push against the tooth bases in a 'circumferential' direction, and the end engagement wedge has a slight tilt to it (probably for helicals).

    SB Moto ABS wheelie bar install / test

    Hey, I posted two! :) Trust me, no one wants to watch me ride, much less wheelie.
