I wonder if they put some soft of cone valves in those twin shocks. How would you tune them, if they have no shims?

Yes, now I remember that, when I asked if I could upgrade my MX to MXR, @Judaslefourbe told me to sell my MX and buy an MXR because, besides the battery, I would also need a new harness, among other things.

So, Mark, could you then tweak the current sensor and safely extract 60-70hp out of your MX?

The class was awesome! A ton of fun riding! @DonCox and I attended together. I was a student in the class and Don was just listening in. He was also my crew chief and a designated water bottle holder. It wouldn't have been as much fun as it was without Don's keeping company and cheering on! I...

Count me in!!! :ricky:

I think I will have to plan a Colorado motorcycle vacation for another time. There is a lot more prep work involved in this to do it properly (research trails, charging, proper tires, a Sur-Ron for the wife, protection gear, a generator, pressure washer, etc.) This time, I would also have do...

LOL! It is possible to bring one Alta. It would reduce the living area inside the van on this 10-day trip though. How many times do you actually think we would be able to use it, legally? It has no plates, so it would work only for some off-road riding two-up. I do not think I would ride alone...

Nice yellow numbers. Bring back 500cc bikes and the Open Class!!!

Greeting friends and fellow Alta owners! Me and my new Brazilian wife are going to take a 10-day Colorado vacation in my moto-camper-van next week! We will have about 5-6 days to spend in Colorado. We still have no idea where we will be spending our days or stopping for the nights. We wil be...

Awesome! I want to do a 24-hour race again. It is always a guaranteed awesome adventure, and you are very unlikely to get stranded in the mud for too long, die, or get captured by terrorists.

Completely agree! Bring back the Open Class!!! Power vs. range/weight/cost. Exactly! Do not limit the cost either. Let me market decide what to buy and what not to buy. An expensive electric bike is still cheaper to own and ride than a cheap gas bike.

Speaking as an Alta owner, not as an AOF admin, I think that, if you are at that meeting, then you can say whatever you think the most true statement is. Our forum has 924 members, about a half of whom currently own Alta or similar electric bikes, and the rest are/were curious enough to...

There are other people "in the same boat as you", just on the other end of it. You should consider swapping bikes!

Feel free to tell them that you are representing 924 electric MX bike owners. We want to buy and race full-size dirt bikes that are at least as fast and capable as our Alta bikes. They must be able to compete directly with gas bikes. Nothing less would do.

This meeting and MX track exhibition would be incomplete without Alta Motors or Alta owners representation. Remember, 2-3 years ago they had some MX race in Italy (Maggiorra??), where they had an electric bike class. We thought we could bring one Alta there and win the class, lapping the entire...

Is this some supermodified Tesla Model S battery in there rewired for a higher voltage? I am wondering why does it have to be one battery and this particular shape?

These are all heavy adventure-based bikes. They have almost nothing in common with motocross and supermoto bikes. They never jump. Any motocross or supermoto bike from 125 to 500cc has at least 12" of travel.

Awesome! It was unlikely the AMA was going to start this, so I am very happy to hear that the FIM is doing this. It is important to do this early, before the green people shut down all good MX tracks in the world. After that, it would be too late, even if all the bikes are silent and electric.
