    AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AN SM WITH KNOBBIES

    I refuse to be outsmarted by an inanimate object, in this case my Alta SM. the tires I installed (see above pictures) suck in the dirt, the 19 and 21 inch wheels won't clear the front brake caliper, so now I'm going to order real knobbies but can't find a wide enough front knobby. is there any...

    thanks everyone, like a jerk I approached my alta as if it were a (normal) motorcycle and loosened the wrong screw and now I cannot retighten it. the throttle housing screws (2) are of a type that apparently should not be removed but an idiot(me) will find a way, and I did! ordering new throttle...

    I think I may have tweaked my throttle tube installing new grips, throttle doesn't want to return but housing returns freely when loosened. can anyone tell me which of the 3 different alta throttles from liquid I need for my sm(I hate buying wrong parts). also what's up with the throttle housing...

    SM wheels and brakes on a non-SM

    good news for you F451 but bad news for me. I bought alta dirt bike wheels from liquid 19 rear and 21 front. rear wheel went on fine. same spacers, disc, and sprocket. chain was too short so I moved on to the front wheel. here's the problem...sm(larger) disc bolted right on to the 21 rim...

    is there hope on the horizon?

    it was my salesman who told me that alta was technologically backed by Tesla and financially by Harley Davidson. I guess he was wrong on both counts. he is also the one who told me to leave my bike plugged in all the time. so I'm guessing that I shouldn't take stock market advice from him?

    is there hope on the horizon?

    somewhere, maybe on this forum, I saw a blurb about teslas new pick up truck. I thought it looked weird so I didn't give it much thought at the time but later while thinking about it I remembered that it had an electric quad in it that charged in the bed. I have heard, possibly falsely, that...

    Trump threatens EU with retaliation over ‘unfair’ tariffs on Harley-Davidson

    Harley didn't kill alta they just let it die. between the Ama not recognizing them because of 0 cc's and not being allowed to compete in Ama events and the decision to go out of country to compete at erzberg and way overestimating their battery capacity had a lot to do with it too. they were...

    Trump threatens EU with retaliation over ‘unfair’ tariffs on Harley-Davidson

    in the 70's or 80's Harley Davidson took legal action against the Japanese mc manufacturers for dumping on our economy, Japanese bike prices doubled and tripled overnight, then they tried to patent the sound of their bikes because even at inflated prices metric cruisers were outselling Harleys...
