Recently @rayivers introduced us all to an idea of having a Tesla Powerwall installed in your van. He said it's cool, but the $6.6K + installation price tag made it not as cool as it were if it also had been cheap. However, I keep coming back to this idea. This is simply because the gas...

I have been researching how to install a big 12V - 240V inverter in my van. Not long ago @WoodsWeapon mentioned a guy on VitalMX who had such a setup. I managed to get a hold of him, but he referred me to his more electrically skilled friend, who actually came up with this installation recipe...

Someone recently suggested that we should put together a list of acronyms that Alta uses. I keep seeing new ones popping up on the forum. If you notice some new acronym or an unknown term, post it in its thread with a question mark next to it, or a definition, if you know the definition. I will...

Dear Alta Motors! Map 3 is weird and not very usable. It is jerkier than Map 2 but not any more powerful than Map 2 at higher speeds. Additionally, it is too far away from Map 4. Please make Map 3 to be exactly in between Map 2 and Map 4! Racers, myself included, have been fiddling with the...

According to Alta, the coolant overflow hose is no longer needed and can be plugged. I am reposting this and making it a sticky so that this info does not get lost. It will remain relevant for the 2018 and older bikes for quite some time.

Has anyone figured out yet where to drill a hole to allow all that water to drain? I washed my bike last weekend. At the track today, not dusty, not muddy, perfect. The bike is still clean, but the rear subframe looks like it has been through a mudhole. The water came out and picked up all the...

I realized that not many people have read my long Re-springing a 2017 Alta Redshift MX (and then revalving too) thread. In case you missed it, Alta's factory MX team has developed updated suspension specs for the MX model. They shared it with me, and they said it was okay to share it with other...

I thought, wouldn't it be nice to dyno my two Redshifts? Of course it would! I googled the web and found an interesting Dirt Bike magazine article with all the charts and even numbers of the 2018 model year 450cc motocross bikes. They used an FMF DynoJet dyno. So, I googled and called around...

I haven't opened the last two MXA issues yet, and I just received the third one. I am not excited about opening and reading it nearly as much as I have always been. Does anyone else here feel the same way? I am dreading to see another 2018 RMZ review, the exact same review of the exact same...

I have had a 12-110V inverter in my van for a couple of years. It is a Traveller 3,000W Digital Power Inverter, sold at Tractor Supply for under $300. Initially I bought it to use an electric pressure washer at the track (still need to think up a water tank for it!). It is not a pure but a...

Well, in my pursuit of newer and better things, I ordered a Lifan 4250 Generator. It was on sale for about $600 at Home Depot. I am very disappointed. Lots of false advertising is involved with this unit: - The core components are exactly the same as on my DuroMax 4400, but at a $300 price...

I had bikes before, but that was just sex. But with this bike I had a real relationship. We spent a lot of quality time together and won many trophies. After I got a hot new 2000 YZ250, and injured my knee on it, I was out for 12 years. Then I decided to rehabilitate my knee and go back to...
