    Tighten rear spoke Issue

    I had only one spoke spin on me so far. I had to hold it with vice grips to run the nut back and forth a few times, then tighten it, while still holding it. I also used spray chain lube to lube the threads. I usually lube all the spoke nipples on all my new bikes. I didn't do it on my Altas, I...

    The Damon Thread

    Wow! So now I know where some of the ex-Alta guys went. If you add three more R-packs and motors to the SMR, you will have 200 hp, 200 miles of range, and the total weight comparable to something like a Honda CBR600. The MSRP of $40K looks like a deal breaker at the current time though.

    Best Motovan Ever

    This is going to be the test of drivers' sanity once camper vans start coming from the factory with autopilots. I wonder if there will be some people engaging their autopilot and going to take a nap, haha!

    Pictures flipped. Very nice!!! Will the bikes be normally parked backwards? I can see some advantages to that, but it is a PITA to load them in backwards.

    TCMB's Quest for Better AER48 performance - DIY Valving

    So, does it looks like the Alta fork could use more low-speed damping to keep that 35% gain on the KTM at all damping speeds?

    This is an old one, perhaps from the times when Ryan Villopoto was the champ.

    Anyone else bring their Alta inside?

    You can say that to each, but not when the other one can hear it.

    Saying "Honey, aren't you my soulmate?" may also help.

    TCMB's Quest for Better AER48 performance - DIY Valving

    I wouldn't use the Kreft's lightweight/enduro KTM damping as a reference for the Alta MXR. Remember I tried their Revalve Control, right? On the stiffest setting it was bottoming of flat landings way worse than stock, even though I ovefilled both legs with 250cc of oil and pumped up the air to...

    Milandr Power Machines - A Russian Alta

    Milandr is not a motorcycle company yet, so they do not show concepts in order to keep selling their gas bikes. They show these bikes to hype up potential customers and investors. These bikes are early prototypes, not concepts.

    Gas Gas

    The big Gas Gas bikes will likely become KTMs with a red frame and white plastic.

    A hybrid Koenigsegg that deserves our attention

    I thought I would post this into "General" rather than "Off-Topic". A Detailed Look At The Koenigsegg Gemera's Mind-Blowing Engineering Or maybe it should be categorized under " Hauling My Alta"?
