    Retroactive E-motorcycle Federal Tax Credit

    I'm going to try my luck with my MXR. Worst case scenario, it gets denied. We'll see what happens.

    TCMB's Quest for Better AER48 performance - DIY Valving

    Here's how the stock Alta MXR configuration compares to the 2019 KTM 450SXF (EU). The 19' 450SXF (EU) has an average 30-35% less compression damping. Shim Stack Configuration: Compression Damping Curve: -Yellow line is the compression damping curve for the stock Alta MXR compression shim...

    Anyone else bring their Alta inside?

    Hopefully they have a wife that rides the second bike :).

    TCMB's Quest for Better AER48 performance - DIY Valving

    So how would we get even a more digressive curve than we already have? A shim acts just like a spring when it bends. We know that adding preload to a spring means it takes more force to compress the spring initially. The same applies to shim stacks. Lets take a look... With ReStackor, we can...

    TCMB's Quest for Better AER48 performance - DIY Valving

    I liked the feel of the stiffer bottoming resistance, but in the bumps the suspension was beating me up. This leads me to believe i would benefit from a low speed damping curve like Mod Stack 2 but high speed damping curve less than the stock damping curve. In other words, make the damping curve...

    TCMB's Quest for Better AER48 performance - DIY Valving

    Next, i wanted to take the opportunity to compare the Alta MXR shim configuration to a stock 2018 KTM 450 SXF. I have not personally tried this setting on my Alta yet, but i may do so pretty soon just to see how it feels. 2018 KTM 450 SXF (Stock) Shim Stack configuration: The stock KTM 450...

    TCMB's Quest for Better AER48 performance - DIY Valving

    TCMB Mod Stack 2 (stiffer than stock, softer than Mod Stack 1) Using what i learned from the first experiment, i decided to try to aim somewhere exactly in the middle of Mod Stack 1 and the stock stack. Shim Stack configuration: Compression damping chart: TCMB Mod Stack 2 vs Stock Alta...

    TCMB's Quest for Better AER48 performance - DIY Valving

    Here's the first DIY modified stack i tried. I originally thought the forks didn't have enough compression damping, so my goal was to just add more across the board and see how it felt. I didn't have extra shims at the time, so i simply relied on shim stack theory and used ReStackor to...

    TCMB's Quest for Better AER48 performance - DIY Valving

    Lately, I've been experimenting with some various shim stacks in the AER48 forks on my MXR to improve its performance (for me). I'll start documenting my journey and perhaps some of you may find it helpful in tweaking your own suspension and finding the best setting for you. Don't be scared...

    Alta accepted at Dubya World Vet MX Championship?

    Certainly no problem getting up the hills of Glen Helen on our bikes! :cool:

    Jeff Walker rode my EXR!

    Fixed that for you. :rolleyes::cautious: I must admit, i have a small alterior motive in doing this to drum up some more demand for our bikes... cant hurt, right? :LOL:

    Let me know if you go through with it. I plan on racing the event this year as well. We could set up a rad Alta-only pit area!

    Jeff Walker rode my EXR!

    Linked up with Jeff Walker at Fox Raceway yesterday and let him take a spin on my EXR on the vet track. This was immediately after i had spun a 10ish minute moto and rapid charged before that, so he hit thermal limiting pretty quickly and had reduced power. But he still had a blast! I'd like to...

    Yes, i've raced the Dubya World Vets the last 2 years on my Alta MXR. There were no problems, just get ready to answer lots of questions from curious old guys! hahah
