    Alta Multi Tool member list

    West Anderson, South Carolina I am not very knowledgeable on troubleshooting since both of my bikes are working, but I have a laptop with MT, the cables, and have checked everything on both my MXR and EXR so I know MT is functional.

    First real ride of the year!!

    The only way I could pull off jumps like that is with Photoshop. It bothers me to just look at the pictures and my phone keeps trying to dial 911 on its own.

    One-wheel EVs

    I have watched a bunch of videos and they seem pretty cool, however I think that is as close as I want to get. :muutt:

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    I am still interested and June sounds good. I would appreciate access to some trails and non-MX riding for at least part of the time, however I'll completely defer the decision on location(s) to those of you with local knowledge.

    21" knobbies with SM brakes... how bad of an idea is this?

    The 'solution' which has been adopted by a number of people is to mount knobby tires on the 17 inch rims. Admittedly it is a compromise, however you don't really have a dirt bike suspension on the SM anyway. I have ridden my KTM SM on 17" knobs and it is a pretty capable dual sport; but I...

    How-To : Install and Use Alta Multitool Software

    I thought that I might do that, however it seems to take impossibly long to download the log files. I downloaded the files the first time I hooked up each bike and haven't done it since. It's a better use of my time to actually ride. I suppose that if I ever have a problem with one of my...

    Trevor -- Clean dirtbikes with a dash of Alta thrown in?

    This may have been posted before, however since the reference was made here and there are a lot of new forum members: 2018 interview with ALTA designer John McInnis I had forgotten about the ALTA Ultralight concept. Cycle World has 12 other articles about ALTA going from March 2017 to...

    TCMB371 Video Thread

    Interesting comment about maps 1-3. I have adapted my MXR for trail riding with an 18" rear wheel, fully modified suspension, appropriate tires, crash protection, etc. I have never felt the MXR maps create too much abruptness or wheel spin on the trail, however you have me wondering if the...

    How-To : Install and Use Alta Multitool Software

    So..... for the luddites on the forum (me o_O) who have a late 2019 instance of Multitool on a dedicated laptop, can I just turn off all updates and keep it working in its 2019 form? Hoping to avoid some automatic version update that kills the functionality, I haven't turned it on since...

    Any interest in an ALTA Redshift Registry ? (POLL)

    Exactly. It would provide a simpler reference for prospective buyers to check for all known stolen VINs. Much easier than trying to go through the incomplete lost/stolen forum; which as an example doesn't even include Honcho's bikes. If there is reasonably good participation it can also...

    Any interest in an ALTA Redshift Registry ? (POLL)

    The topic has come up a couple of times in the past, but there has never been any follow-up. It was briefly discussed HERE and I am polling for interest. If you own an ALTA Redshift would you be interested in participating in an informal registry of our bikes? This is a common practice...

    The Forum's New Milestone!

    I was thinking along the same lines as Snydes comment. And to be honest it was mostly a curiosity. The reason I threw out the idea of a members-only subforum for the registry was that someone had mentioned in the past (possibly in one of the code 36 threads) a reservation about having their...

    The Forum's New Milestone!

    There was some brief discussion in a thread quite a while back about establishing a registry of the bikes represented on the forum, however I don't think it ever gained any momentum. I couldn't relocate that info with a few quick searches. If there is interest, I would be glad to...

    For Sale For Sale 2019 Alta EXR

    Hmmm. I thought all EXRs shipped with an 18" rear wheel. I wonder if the dealer swapped yours before delivery. I bought an 18" rear from LP for my MXR when I made it into a woods bike. (y)
