    That makes very good sense.

    Front fender support, new weak link

    It will work for now. Had to throw some black paint on it, that was just bare blasted steel. I ordered a new bracket and I am going to add the third hole based on the OEM bracket and see how the OEM piece holds up with only that change. Really surprised I'm the first to report this here, I...

    Front fender support, new weak link

    Ok, here is my evaluation for what that's worth. For the off road guys, the brace may or may not ever give you any problems. For MX guys, unless you are riding in dry conditions all the time that brace is going to fail exactly how mine did sooner or later. The day mine broke the track was...

    360 Video of a lap at one of my local practice tracks

    Thanks guys. The 360 video makes for a much more interesting experience IMO. I’ve taken regular video before with my GoPro and it always seemed rather boring to me when I reviewed it.

    I couldn’t even get close to Roczen at Budds Creek back in 2016 (line was too big), but I did get this guys autograph!

    360 Video of a lap at one of my local practice tracks

    Here is a 360 video of a lap at one of my local tracks today. Not all browsers support these videos yet, so if it looks like a bad acid trip it's not displaying right and you might have to try a different browser. Sorry, video is pretty dark and I have to try and do something about the wind...

    It’s a great way for them to raise money for a charity. I know they aren’t going to win but I’ll be looking for them! You are right about K Dub, guy never got it together in racing but he’s was crazy talented!

    Roczen is the best with no B.S. interviews. He gives credit when it's due, and admits defeat when he has a bad day. Those 450 races were pretty exciting this week!

    Front fender support, new weak link

    Noticed during my ride today that the front fender was bouncing around quite a bit, I did recall an old discussion about this that @MattB started about what he observed as way too much flex in the front fender. He actually modified his bike to accept a Husky front fender and number plate. If...

    Warranty/Dealer question

    No, unfortunately there is not the option. Great idea though!

    Firmware update by owner

    Yeah I agree. What is the deal there? How about our dealers @Elite Motorsports and @HudsonValleyMotorcycles ? Is that laptop something they built?

    It sounds like that is mostly what happened. I’m hearing Ronnie Mac was given the thumbs down and K-Dub is going to take his spot.

    How do you use your Alta?

    That’s honestly one of the best endorsements I’ve heard so far for the bike. Myself I have only used my MXR so far for tracks, I am however anxious to do some off road riding on it. I’ve done a little bit, and for me it makes it quite a bit more enjoyable. Where before I really didn’t care...

    Harbor Freight 240V Generator

    Ill be very interested to hear if the charge times are noticeably affected by using that cooling fan. Do keep us posted!

    Warranty/Dealer question

    Well we know we have plenty of Alta eyes on this forum so I would say it’s pretty likely they have heard our unanimous request to be able to update firmware and adjust maps. Now the question remains will they respond in time before their next competitor emerges (whom ever that will be) and puts...

    Warranty/Dealer question

    IMO it will happen eventually. I think they are just being overly cautious in these first years of production. I’ll speculate that they will roll out that ability as a new model year perk and hopefully the feature will be backwards compatible with our bikes.

    Chain Slider failures

    So far our only option is DIY reinforcement. There is strong evidence that Alta is revising the part, but we have no idea when that may be available.
