    Skid Plate for the Alta

    Awesome! Now all the carbon fiber drooling guys will want your skid plate. Will you be making a dozen? Also, curious, will you be laying the carbon fiber on the outside or on the outside? Is it a mold or a plug?

    MXR Rear Shock v.1 vs. v.2

    @TCMB371 has the same shock as on my newer MXR. He posted its OEM shim specs here: MXR Updated Stock Shock Valving

    How stiff can the EX get?

    You can read your rear spring stiffness written right on the rear spring. The MX spring says "WP 63-265", which means 63 N/mm spring rate and 265mm length. Check yours and let us know. You might have to spin the spring around. The front spring should be proportional to that on the MX. Here are...

    How stiff can the EX get?

    This thread went off-topic but in a good way. I have created a second MXR rear shock specific thread here: MXR Rear Shock v.1 vs. v.2

    MXR Rear Shock v.1 vs. v.2

    Here are the illustrations of different MXR shocks: Exhibit 1 -- A bad shock from my first MXR VIN #323: Exhibit 2 -- A really good shock from my second MXR #445: As you can see, the part numbers are different. The bad shock ends with a "1". The really good shock from a newer bike ends...

    Rim Options, Triple Clamp Options?

    The front hub is 14mm wider. You can use 7mm spacers on both sides, plus 7mm spacers to move the brake caliper inward.

    How stiff can the EX get?

    The EX uses the same suspension as the MX. I think even the spring rates are the same.

    Anaheim 2 Supercross Futures

    Damn! This whole thing is so sketchy. So many things could have gone wrong. You did great. That rhythm section after the triple was the most difficult. You nailed the one right after it. You had to keep doubling and doubling, even though sometimes it looked impossible, else slamming into those...

    Tires for the Northeast 24lhr Challenge

    Last Saturday I went to do some rock crawling with a bunch of jeep guys here in Arizona. Had a Shinko Fatty in the front and a Dunlop MX52 120x80-19 in the rear. The pressures were not low, 15/12 psi front/rear, and I ran Tube Saddles in both tires to prevent rim dings and pinch flats when...

    I'm locked in to race Supercross Futures at Anaheim 2!

    Main or no main -- this is still pretty awesome. You got to run a practice and two full races on a real supercross track! From here on, if you want to improve at this, you just need to keep doing it. Today you confirmed that you are competitive.

    2019 NE 24hr Challenge July 20th & 21st 2019, Team AltaOwnersForum.com is Official!

    I have a couple of wishes: 1) I want my name in a more conventional and readable font. 2) I do not want a team number on the back. It will be hidden under my chest protector and my camelbak anyway, and I want to be able to use this shirt for other racing, where my number is different.

    BAD NEWS

    Nothing. A total radio silence.

    I'm locked in to race Supercross Futures at Anaheim 2!

    The Futures website is buggy and confusing. How much of the original SX track are you running, Bryan? It says that most A/B/C racers ran close to 60-second lap, which is just as fast as the pro SX guys were running yesterday, which is weird. Then it says that Bryan ran a 41-second lap, and the...

    Is tomorrow going to be a mudder again?

    I'm locked in to race Supercross Futures at Anaheim 2!

    I wouldn't try jumping the big triple in the back! I do not remember if this question was answered, will these Futures races be televised, or posted on YouTube later?

    Rear Subframe failure

    Ok. Thank you. I misinterpreted our Alta Dictionary definition. Updated.

    Rear Subframe failure

    BTW, Alta calls it "Rear Bulkhead" or RBH.

    Rear Subframe failure

    I think only @TCMB371 has cracked his a little in a wreck, but it was still usable.

    I think it comes with a 12V powder cord.
