    Dumbfounded Alta is no more

    Those forum trolls won't come to you and tell you to your face that they do not like your bike, but they love-love-love posting their valuable opinions on the internet. Some of these guys are purists, who think motocross bikes should remain the exact same as they were when they started riding...

    Will the Alta battery prove itself like the Tesla?

    Creative methods of charging the bike to say 50% after a ride

    I have one of these: Century Indoor 24-Hour Mechanical Outlet Timer, 3 Prong, 2-Pack I do not set the exact current time on this timer. I set the pins 2 hours apart. You can also set some pins 1.5 hours or 2.5 hours apart, etc. Then, when you want to charge, you spin the wheel until one of the...

    Tires for the Northeast 24lhr Challenge

    OK, I have just ordered a Bridgestone M59 Front from RMATVMC. I will give it a good test before the event. Thank you for all who pitched in.

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

    Went out for some night riding tonight. Awesome! The light worked great! I didn't have a helmet light on. Turns out my helmet does not have a single flat of moderately curved mounting surface, and I have already used up the Airoh GoPro mount that came with the helmet. But I just found one more...

    Metallica fans?

    I think if you go to www.cafepress.com you can upload an image and get yourself a custom t-shirt easily. Their printing areas used to be small though, but that was over 10 years ago that I checked. Alta was interested in this slogan and design, but I think we haven't seen it anywhere because...

    That Ceracoat company must be paying him to paint his aluminum frame ugly black.

    Tyler Monagan youtube Alta Build

    I have spent longer watching YouTube than I am willing to admit. Did anyone get the point of this "custom" build" other than powder coating a few parts black?

    Rekluse Left Hand Rear Brake kit

    Interesting. Are you saying that your left lever now has the same stiffness as the right? I might try laying the bike on its side overnight, but I do not think that the bubbles would travel up by themselves over time. Or would they?? I also thought about making a Brembo master cylinder cover...

    Rekluse Left Hand Rear Brake kit

    I used earlier model Rekluse brakes, and I currently have the DIY Brembo clutch setup. The rear brake always seems to be about 50% more spongy than the front. I tried vacuum bleeding in the past, and the results were about the same as if I just bled it well without using vacuum. I wonder what...

    Anyone do a bladder conversion on the shock yet?

    OOPS! I am sorry, I thought @TCMB371 was talking about the @Fog 25 shock. Those are the same. The MX and MXR shocks are indeed different. The MXR shock is the latest WP shock, and the MX is the generation before that.

    Anyone do a bladder conversion on the shock yet?

    It's the same shock. The Tank just looks a little larger on the OD. The piston is 2mm larger. Not sure I would be able to tell the difference at my riding skill level.

    Tires for the Northeast 24lhr Challenge

    I may need some Northeast trail riding tire education. I would like to know if I should consider buying special tires for this event that are different from the MXR stock Dunlop MX3S. I am not familiar with enduro tires. Perhaps there are some that handle slippery rocks and roots better. What...

    Anyone do a bladder conversion on the shock yet?

    A piston is not that difficult to service, once you figure out how far to push it one way or the other.

    Attention in the pits! Clake LHRB inserts alert!

    Clake replied to my question about the short insert: "I believe what happened in this case was an early prototype of the Brembo insert somehow got into a batch before anodizing and was then sent out"
