Liquid has new subframe liners. Hope if fits your subframe.

I've been told the Erzberg firmware has that already. You can download it together with MultiTool. Not sure if there are any tricks to installing it though, it's an older firmware.

An Alta Motors memorial service. The celebration of life of the maker of the best dirt bike ever made. The eulogy speech by @Judaslefourbe, where he not tells everything but accidentally spills the beans. Sign me up!

Here is my latest and greatest suspension story: My quest for a perfect Alta Redshift motocross suspension (Part2) Yep, that's the one. I have been talking non-stop about that bike. The one that got away! I should have bought it two years ago, but it probably would have been too expensive at...

This is the continuation of My quest for a perfect Alta Redshift motocross suspension (Part 1). A couple of years ago, I test rode a 2017 CRF450 that has a suspension revalved by a factory Showa tuner. I have been chasing the feeling of that suspension ever since. Today, I ended up buying this...

A couple of years ago, a local pro rider in Lake Havasu City let me ride his 2017 CRF450, while he was testing out my 2017 Alta MX. His Pro Circuit tuned engine sucked, but the suspension that was done by a factory Showa tuner was amazing, out of this world! After two years I still could not...

As stated before, a Non-Disclosure Agreement does not prevent anyone from seeking new employment and using their technical knowledge. I think it actually covers very little.

Things like what? A competitive or practical road bike? Alta did a study and concluded that the lowest-hanging fruit that nobody had picked at that time was in motocross. This is where they could easily and convincingly beat the gas bikes. They could have decided to compete with Zero on...

We should re-watch the Mad Max movies because this is where Elon Musk seems to get his off-road inspirations from.

Elon Musk is way cooler than I thought! Yes, dammit, dirt bikes are way safer than road bikes. And electric dirt bikes are cool indeed!

Domesticated riders on motocross tracks can be very dangerous too. Just today, I was following a guy extremely closely for about 3 laps. Then, all of a sudden, he slows down in the middle of a fast whoops section and slowly cuts across the track right in front of me. I suppose, the domesticated...

You have to agree though that this custom aluminum skid plate looks very high-end and fancy, especially if you look up close. Some might prefer it just for its aesthetic properties.

I am not much of a trail rider, but on the Alta I am really enjoying going out into the mountains and enjoying the views, quietness and solitude. It's as relaxing as meditation. And way more fun than yoga.

I just watched again and noticed the audio track is hilarious! Cows mooing, birds and insects chirping, and the wind chimes chiming. Can't get any better than this on a sunny summer day in the country.

Congrats!!! (y) It is difficult but possible to replace the 9V battery without removing the main battery. Just need to wiggle things a lot. I was able to remove and check mine before I had no choice but to start swapping bigger parts between my bikes.

It is for power. Like on ICE cars, where you install bigger injectors and modify the air flow sensor signal, on EVs you can fool the controller by feeding it a reduced motor current sensor signal.

An NDA cannot prevent anyone from seeking employment. At least this is what I heard the case is in California. I am curious how Alta employees got lured into, or threatened into, signing their NDAs. It must have been either some carrot or a stick. And I am also curious if the text of the NDA is...

The Firmware Hacking Fund? That's interesting. I will then also want the Motor Current Sensor Mod Fund. If someone tweaks its output down just 20-30%, then my MXR will have 60-65 HP! So far none of the geeks bit the bait. But, I suppose, if we collect enough money, then there will be interest...

Hopefully probing her brains with electrical wires and overwriting her memory will be not be as painful. This does not sound like a lobotomy at all! :cool:

John McInnis does not have the model for these shrouds, we asked. It was on his work computer. But looking more closely, these shrouds are just as bulbous as the original ones. The side profile is a great starting point though. Blow up the site view, cut them out of cardboard or sheet plastic...
