I use clear spray paint, except for on the alta last time I used grip glue, had the same problem you did. back to clear spray paint from now on. ps. I may try the contact cleaner. pss. I only used grip glue on the alta because I tore 2 right grips trying to mount them. I like these wonky old...

I have 2018 sm 037

not used to snow riding on two wheels and only had the alta off-road for about 10 minutes, I guess I'm saying that I'm a puss, but I'm a puss with a quad, more fun in the snow!!

snow days are for working on your bike!! fresh knobbies, new slide plate and rear brake support bracket in place, the sm is ready to winter as a dirt bike if it would only stop snowing. if these tires don't work I'm gonna have to start looking for an mx front brake caliper to mount a 21 inch...

thank you silent but dirty for posting alta replacement parts list, thanks to you I now know that the sm runs a 4 piston front brake caliper and the mx doesn't . now if anyone knows if the mx front brake caliper will mount up to the Sm's caliper mount maybe I can get the necessary clearance...

good news, just grip glue between throttle tube and handlebar, all fixed.

thanks redwolf, I went with the IRC 460/100/17 for the front and the IRC 510/100/17 for the rear. I'll post pictures when done.

I will but I'm waiting on the new throttle first

it's not apart I only loosened 1 screw slightly

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...

good luck

enough to piss me off. I'm not going to grind my caliper, sounds like a quick way to big problems.

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...

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?

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...

what he said!!!!!!!!

paddockclub, I ws lucky enough to have snydes and Rashid510 solve my problem, first they updated my firm ware but alas to no avail then they were able to get a replacement on board charger. I am no programmer or electrical wiz so I just let them do their thing. what a blessing it is to have such...
