I think the EXR and the MXR feel about the same, weigh-wise. The EXR has a nicer and softer seat! The EXR suspension is okay for trail riding and riding around, but it is too soft for motocross for anyone who weighs over 100 lbs. I weigh 200 lbs, and I can compress the suspension almost fully...

Is this the same problem as these guys are having? External Charger Fault???!!!

Let me move this from Videos to General. The video isn't that great, but the ideas are interesting.

A solid business plan for an electric motocross bike rental company. Need to make sure this warehouse is near a hospital, to save on ambulance costs. :p

Yep, a track in the middle of a metropolitan area would be awesome. A popular well-maintained track, near where people actually live, open 7am-11pm, 365 days a week. Cover it with an inflatable dome in winter.

Nice. Are the gas bikes not allowed there?

The extra ~$2-3K that you will pay for the MXR is worth the money if you are going to use your bike for hard racing or fast riding. The battery can take more abuse, it has 8hp more (used to be 10hp), and it comes with the latest WP suspension, which is rideable in the stock form. On the other...

Thank you for the invitation! I love Northern Michigan in the summer. I have never been to the west of I-75 though, if you do not count Machinac Island, so I should definitely visit. Let me know as soon as you get your Alta!

Here are some odd battery facts that I learned today: According to batterystuff.com: "To join batteries in parallel, use a jumper wire to connect both the positive terminals, and another jumper wire to connect both the negative terminals of both batteries to each other. Negative to negative...

Love the looks of this old-school Bell helmet! It's a classic. (y) What?!! They must really want you to skip two-three years, or more. Grrr.... Great pics and videos! Thank you.

Oh, sorry @CK696 , I almost forgot to un-confuse you! o_O According to your measurements, Alta has about ~1" lower ground clearance. Ignore the 5mm difference in rear sags and 18" vs. 19" wheels. We will assume the sags are set the same, and both bikes are sitting on the ground with fully...

Alta's factory team raced a few flat track and (I think) supermoto events. They won the first one that they entered, and did well in others. There are Youtube videos of dominating performance on ice as well. Derek Dorresteyn, the Alta's CTO, is a former flat track racer. He wanted to built a...

Will the trophy say "1st Place" or "The Only Place"? :LOL:

There are "lady bumps" there. Need to hug them properly, else there will be creases.

Ouch! The right footpeg and the rear brake relocation. The first tip-over and the rear brake will be gone, and the $500-dollar motor housing tab will be broken off.

Some more...

There you go! Builds

Yep, a big syringe with a hose attached to the caliper bleeder screw. I also wrap Teflon tape around the screw threads. Fill everything from the bottom. Rekluse kits come with a syringe, so I had one lying around.
