    Warning light

    I encountered this issue yesterday by the time I was pretty much done for the day on my MX. It was 87, humid with heat index probably in the mid 90’s, ride primarily in map 3. I thought it was more likely the sand and mud that got caked onto the battery, trapping the heat. I let the bike sit for...

    Re-springing a 2017 Alta Redshift MX (and then revalving too)

    Got the bike back together last night. I tell you what, guys. Even if you ride as slow as I do, a revalve on the MX is a MUST DO. The landings are nowhere near as harsh, it launches in the air much better, and if I case a jump, it doesn’t try to buck me over the handlebars.

    Re-springing a 2017 Alta Redshift MX (and then revalving too)

    I finally got around to doing something. I’m sending my suspension to EVO Industries, since they have a shop on the eastern side of the country, I’m giving them a shot.

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    Would be cool to see a reverse gear type setting. Can a simple reverse polarity of the motor be programmed?

    What 30 minutes of charging looks like

    For anyone wondering about 240v charging, I tested out my generator for the first time today, only did it for 30 minutes since it was getting dark and I didn’t want to annoy my neighbors for very long. Usually at 120v it wouldn’t have moved much at all so I liked the result seen here...

    Best Map for least sensitive throttle.

    Try a wider wheel/tire that 450 bikes use. The Altas use 250f sized rear tires.

    First AMA race on the MXR

    Yeah anybody brave enough to test that? My iPhone may be rated the same but it would still freak me out to submurge it completely.

    First AMA race on the MXR

    Awesome! I live just down the road from that track but only been riding at Morgans Corner. 2018 MX here. Like you, I had to have mine shipped from a dealer out of state. That costed way more than it should have to be honest.

    Holy 14T - Sweet Spot!

    So it really doesn’t feel any bit slower than stock gearing? When I’m on long dirt roads I would like to see another 10mph at the top.

    Yes I’d like to have those.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    I had been trying to find someone local who can do suspension revalves to no avail, till you mentioned Kreft Moto. Though not local, looking at their site, they seem to make it an easy process. I guess it'd be better to call them directly since their rider info form doesn't have Alta listed?

    Battery care, some things I thought you guys should know.

    I somewhat doubt loss of battery longevity is going to be noticeable until these bikes get a ton of miles and ride time on them. So far, my '18 MX is at 150 miles and no way I can tell at the moment. I do wonder though if fully charging it right after riding, and letting it sit for 6 or 7 days...

    Is the Redshift MX suspension worth re-valving?

    Should I try a slightly higher rear sag as well?

    Is the Redshift MX suspension worth re-valving?

    Geez, if it's soft for everyone, even a slow rider like me weighing 170lbs fully geared, shouldn't Alta have addressed this a long time ago?

    Is the Redshift MX suspension worth re-valving?

    Ugh closest shop is a couple hundred miles away. Would they need the entire bike or does it work alright for them just having the forks and rear shock?

    Is the Redshift MX suspension worth re-valving?

    I have no clue how to work on forks & shocks so my best bet would be to call around for shops that specialize in it. Is it better if I try a local KTM dealer first? I live in NC just south of Hampton Roads VA area.

    Is the Redshift MX suspension worth re-valving?

    Despite being a beginner MX rider at 165lbs, I’m finding even the suspension for me is underwhelming. If I case a table top jump hard enough, it will launch me off the pegs if I’m not squeezing my knees hard enough. I let a better rider take it for a few laps, he love it, but of course not the...
