Those are BRP mounts. $75 but well worth it. Also I use threaded bar inserts, also offered by BRP for $25. Best combo if you fall the busters are going nowhere no matter what. I race and can’t afford to lose them due to a tip over in the rocks. Overall cheaper bc u don’t have to replace them.

I’d let my nicely set up 18 EX go for 8,500. I’m in NY.

Mine also failed. I used the JB weld. That lasted a couple hours. My solution was to drill a hole and now I have a bolt showing on both sides. I don’t like this in terms of aesthetics but I know it’ll hold and i have limited time and patience to deal with this. I’ll just replace the rear fender...

I thbink it depends what purpose the Alta is intended to serve. I race dirt bikes. It won’t last a hare scramble and definitely not an enduro. I guess guys are racing them at sprint enduros with a generator. This means I must have at least one other bike. The Alta is a practice bike for me that...

Speedo bracket for sale by motominded.... anyone install it on the 18 EX?

8500 - 18 EX

Looks like nihlo concepts to me

Rim lock is very easy to add. There is a hole in the rim plugged with a rubber thing (I saved them rubber plugs for my mouse tires :-)) I do agree it shld have a rim lock and definitely needs it for off road unless you want to risk riding out on a rim. Where I ride it was a must. I was thinking...

Agreed. Idk why I had no wheel spin this weekend but I nearly always have it trail riding. The only change I made was tires. The ground was very tacky (think 2 days post good rain)

What tire do u run? I’ve had a lot of trouble w breaking traction too.

Yeah the tow sucks. So wld a push out in this terrain. Also for what it’s worth, I ran MT16 13 psi w rim lock and not once did I feel the rear break loose. 110/100-18 aspect ratio. Tight fit.

Results out. Alta won 3 of the 8 loops it raced against the B class. The other 5 were in the mix. Argh so close lol.

Ah I meant map 2. I was going back and forth until I got to about half way then was strictly map 1. I’m tempted to try again. Tho I can say it’s frustrating as can be to dnf.

I had changed the rear to a 110/100 - 18 MT16 .. a solid rubber for Northeast racing. I typically run 120/100 on my gas bikes. Not enough room in the swing arm for that so bumped down. I also installed a bead lock in front and back. For all my griping about it not having one, at least the rim...

I raced my EX Sunday in an AMA sprint enduro. It lasted 31 miles and had a little left. Maybe 3 miles? I DNF’d because I had about 9 miles of loop to go. The race said my A/B loop would be ~30 miles so figured I’d be close and would have made it if the posted mileage had been accurate. A few...

I’m not sure if it is the opposite or just a difference of magnitude. Use it all or all but an inch or all but a sliver. I’m saying I want to use it all but I don’t set my settings to use it all based on the harshest condition on the ride. Original question about bottoming out and banging the...

Yeah I use nearly all my suspension and check that I’m doing so in front with zip ty if it’s dry out. If it’s wet as is the case by me most of the time zip isn’t even necessary bc the compression cleans up the dirt. Having said that I actually disagree that you want to bottom out on every ride...

my plate holder is bent upward and does not hang down so it doesnt interfere with the tire. I usually just carring my plate in my bag and have a photo copy that I laminated zipped to my pack for road transfers. In terms of bottoming out .. I never bottom out in terms of rubbing the subframe...

Do you use a rapid charger for the GP And SE? Are you able to finish w the Alta? If so how much generator time do you need?

I’ll add that the rekluse LHRB works great for me. I’m happy with the pressure and stoked to have the foot pedal. I’m also stoked on the fact it took my 45 minutes to install and 20 minutes was spent finding my tools and spilling a beer....
