Front brakes ?!?! That wasn't a TT. They should have made them pull the calipers off the bikes.

I don't think I have seen this one either. How does it work since the SM has a standard three prong NEMA 5 120VAC plug (hot/neutral/ground) ? Does the adapter put a leg of the 240 on both the hot and neutral wires of the 120 cord ?

Wow! Racing the museum bike. Nice. That surface looks more like a MX course than a flat track oval.

There will be an electric motorcycle flat track race at the One Moto Show 2020 at the Portland Memorial Coliseum this coming weekend. The event schedule has it is listed as an Expert class for “all electric bikes”. Zero Motorcycles is the presenting sponsor for this race. Here is...

Further evidence that you need a horn, a PA system blasting a 4 stroke exhaust, or very loud playing cards in your spokes. Other riders don't seem to relate your yelling to a bike about to pass them. We need to be careful or tracks will start banning our quiet bikes as too dangerous...

Lower speed trails and trials type riding may warrant softer valving and a slightly softer spring than enduro (racing). However, you want to have a shock spring that will allow correct sag for a particular suspension design and rider weight or you won't be riding with the swingarm and rear...

Here is the thread from almost a year ago with a bit of discussion on the good work from KTM World. They have now resprung and revalved four bikes for me with different target uses (ALTA EXR - dualsport, KTM 400XCW & ALTA MXR - single track & enduro racing, KTM 525 Rally - desert rally...

It was interesting to watch the race tracker and now see the race in the video. Thanks for taking all the time to edit and compile. Congrats on the race. That looked like some tough whoop sections. I wish I knew how to capture a video of the laptop screen instead of just a screen grab.

If I remember correctly, they added weight to the ring gear and fabricated a larger cover to clear.

Welcome to the forum. I would be very interested in hearing about your experiences and challenges. I have been considering buying the parts to adapt my MXR for short track (also 60+) but have not pulled the trigger, in part because I know the ALTA 'factory team' made a lot of mechanical...

Yep. Following the live timing tracks it looked like a close battle from 9th to 13th for most of the race. They didn't track the first lap so no idea how the start went for Bryan.

Live timing is pretty cool. It tracks each competitor all the way around the course. Bryan's race is underway right now! Supercross Futures :: Live Scoring and Video :: LiveMX

From the same seller as the other parts listed in this thread. Liquid Performance has most of the ALTA parts inventory. REAR FENDER, MX, WHITE 6103239-01 REAR NUMBER PLATE, RIGHT, WHITE 6101445-00 REAR NUMBER PLATE, LEFT, WHITE 6101441-00

Also, here is the ALTA company video of the battery removal process.

Looks like some great terrain. Ridiculous behavior by a bunch of people on that hillclimb. The signs are easy enough to understand even in the pictures. :mad:

As you rework the bolt tightness, take a very close look at the triple clamps to be sure you don't have a crack somewhere. If all the bolts became loose at one time it could be because of a part failure instead of the bolts backing out.

Keep in mind this only applies to vehicles manufactured as street legal vehicles (EX, EXR, SM). We may also have a paperwork challenge unless there is some ALTA archive since there is not a manufacturer to apply for vehicle certification. Here are some of the details from the IRS form...

It is certainly less range than a normal ride on either my EXR or MXR. However the one time that I rode as an experiment and I was very intentionally either hard on the gas or hard on the brakes in a fullout blitz I only got to 23 miles before I was on the last bar flashing. So the riding...

Sounds great. Looking forward to seeing the pictures and getting the reviews from you and from your kiddo. Should be a great Christmas. And congrats on not being buried out back under the tabletop after your wife found out ! :)

Precision Concepts did the suspension on my KTM640 rally bike quite a few years ago. It is brilliant in the high speed desert. It has also saved my neck a few times when I've come upon a wash or a ditch at the last second going way too fast for that particular situation. They used to do...
