I tried it for part of a day after reading some of the earlier posts here. I reset it in the afternoon. I understand how and why it can be a reasonable substitute on a MX track, however it doesn't do what I want on tight singletrack. The idea of a good damper in the woods is that it has...

gprix1 machined a new steering stem nut to adapt an Öhlins damper a couple of years ago. Here's the link: Ohlins steering damper fits nicely I haven't owned an Öhlins damper on a dirt bike but that may be the way to go. It is the only ALTA installation I know about. The challenge with the...

The MX would not be eligible according to the tax regs (manufactured primarily for use on public streets). The IRS may or may not know the difference. However, I would expect your accountant to ask that question and provide some guidance if he/she is named as the preparer on the amended...

In case anyone else is waiting to use TurboTax 2018 to file an amended return, I received an email today from their developers stating that the projected date for the 2018 program updates has pushed to mid-May.

Glad they didn't send the helicopters after you like the boats chasing that paddle boarder.

As I understand it your purchase qualified for the credit even before Congress changed the tax law in December 2019 to extend the eligible period. The original regulations went through 12/31/2017 so you should be able to file an amended return for tax year 2017. This assumes you paid...

IRS tax regs changed in December 2019 to provide the credit for 2018 purchases, however 2018 TurboTax even with the latest updates does not include that change. You file for the credit in the year you placed the vehicle in service so if you bought your EX/EXR/SM in 2019 the 2019 version of...

Hey @VINSANITY which version of TurboTax are you using? I tried to enter the ALTA into an amended 2018 return and it tells me that my ALTA is not eligible because it was purchased after 12/31/2017. It seems that TT hasn't updated to match the new tax regs. I have downloaded all of the...

Excellent reply. (y)(y)

Correct, regardless of the tax year or vehicle year, you need to be the original owner and you file for the credit in the year you bought the bike. The actual wording in the tax form is that you file in the year you "placed the vehicle in service".

@Slayer, Any response from the IRS on the amended 2018 return? I am getting ready to go through that process for my EXR purchased in 2018. Thanks.

The Jeff Walker ride video is great. And the vast majority of the comments on YT are surprisingly positive. I have found that the most vocal naysayers are people who have never actually ridden an ALTA.

I posted these pages long ago, but I don't know which thread. Most of it is straight out of the owners' manual. If this is some of what you want in the first post I can send you these links.

The Liquid Performance ebay page provides a list of the parts included and the 'missing' parts along with all the part numbers. ================================================================================= Alta Motors Kickstand Kit Includes some parts that are required to assemble a Alta...

I am definitely one of those people. I have always thought it looks like something that would come in boxes from IKEA.

The dimensions were posted by @rayivers almost a year ago when we discovered that Warp9 could not provide the front spacers. Here is a link to that post: Front Axle Spacer Thread and here is the figure:

Welcome to the ALTA Owners Forum. You'll love the MXR. Have fun with the new bike when it arrives. And much more importantly, stay safe down there fighting those horrible fires.

I have a truck, however that's not where the bikes go. I have a trailer with a ramp door, wheel chocks, and toolboxes. I have a friend who snapped both bones in his lower leg loading a bike when he lost his balance and his leg got caught in a ladder-type ramp. I am waaay too old for...
