Haha! You passed for the lead @3:15 just like Tomac passed Anderson this year! I am still watching...

I suppose, if we do not hear any news about Alta any time soon, we should create a section for other bike manufacturers, including a DYI MX Bike sub-forum.

Alright... By popular demand of those who want to keep riding these bikes we are introducing to you a new forum category titled: Repair This category will have several sub-forums. Feel free to make suggestions, if something else can be improved. The current thread is getting a bit off-topic...

Should this thread stay in Electrical Powertrain, or be moved into Battery Repair?

This is really cool!

I used to transport dirt bikes like this a long-long time ago. I was removing the stock rear bumper and installing a steel beam with three horizontal pipe pieces welded to it. Remove the front wheel and attach the forks to the pipe with the stock front wheel axle. I could transport up to 3 bikes...

This is an awesome find! Maybe if I am the first to place an order, they will ship me one?

Ok, I need name for this section that does not suck. Any ideas? Perhaps several sub-forums for Battery repairs and options, Electrical repairs, Alta-specific body parts?

Haha, I already called them, talked to Josh. They still have that MXR, but they do not know if they can sell it, and if yes then for how much, because it is owned by Alta, not a bank. I asked them to find out. I also called four other dealers in my area. All had at least 1-2 new bikes in stock.

This thread is getting more views, so I am going to post a link here: Want to buy - Want to buy an MXR - new or used

First Alta would have to declare a bankruptcy -- perhaps Chapter 11. Downsize and re-open on a much smaller scale. Would they still be able to operate and be profitable? Chapters 7, if they do not have a recovery plan. Banks and investors may buy the asserts at the auction, but I do not think...

Withdrawing this posting. Opening another: Want to buy an MXR - used for $8,000 or less - Midwest or Southwest ----------- I already have one MXR. Now looking to buy a second. I will be between the Midwest and Southwest this winter, so MI, AZ, CA and nearby states are all within my driving...

I bought one of those Fasst Company's Flexx Hanglebars a few months ago. The Alta can feel a bit heavy on choppy and on sand tracks, so I thought a flexible bar could help. I have not installed it yet. I wanted to make sure that the forks work well before I start messing with the handlebars...

We do not have any answers yet, only lots of questions. Once we have something that is worth reading, then we surely can move it into a new section. For now please create new threads in General Discussion, if no other existing sub-forum fits. Threads can always be rearranged later.

@gprix1 is running those Dal Soggio spheres. He likes them: Ohlins steering damper fits nicely

I considered Del Saggio but decided not to bother. They are expensive. They are valved for popular KTM and other models, so they will need to be re-valved for the Alta. You do not know what you are getting until you have tried them on your own bike. You might have to send them back a few times...

I am secretly hoping that those who bought the 2017 models will receive $4,500 checks in the main soon.

That is a generic switch. It should be available for purchase in many places, I just do not know which ones. Digikey maybe??

I swore the MXR was no different power-wise, at least in Maps 1, 2 and 3. Map 4 is unusable on low-medium speed tracks with the stock gearing, so I had not used it much until I geared my bike up. The dyno testing confirmed this. It also explained why gearing up makes the bike better for all...

I asked Alta if it was possible to just buy an R battery for my MX, and they said that I would also have to buy a new harness because the current one might get fried. They also recommended against it, said it would be too expensive, but maybe it was just because they did not want to deal with...
