    Stripped down my EX

    Yep, she looks naked.

    Lyndon Poskitt Erzberg video

    I do not get the benefit of a physical flywheel. Perhaps the motor controller had a problem controlling the motor's torque and speed?

    Bad news for aftermarket? The battery management tech.

    Hey, the barriers to entry would also serve to protect your profits, should you decide to enter this market.

    Throttle tube / ODI Lock-on grips?

    Yeah, I almost glued my throttle to the handlebar once. LOL! The throttle tube is open on the outside end, which is wrong! If you tear the end of the grip, the throttle will get packed with dirt. If you apply the glue to the grip, then it will end up inside the throttle tube. If you apply the...

    Owner's Review Demo'd a Redshift MXR at Pala Raceway

    Cool! Sounds like you have talked yourself into buying an MXR already. When are you going to pick it up?

    Owner's Review 2019 Alta EXR Ride Review: Midnight ride under the stars.

    Very cool! I too started riding this bike at every opportunity. I never enjoyed trail riding, but with this bike it became as pleasant and relaxing as meditation. Say hi to Forrest from me. I am glad he finally bought his. And now he has a riding buddy! (y)

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    Here is what I have in my stable. Three bikes, all on center stands that are 430mm tall. The F and R numbers are clearances under the Front and Rear tires: 2018 Alta MXR - F102mm R27mm = 64.5mm average 2005 CRF250 -- F82mm R15mm = 48.5mm average 1995 CR250 --- F5mm R112mm = 58.5mm average...

    Alta Factory Rider ?

    Chad Reed is awesome. Like RC said, he does not have any weak points. Recently it has been his fitness though. But riding an electric is easier, just point and twist (LOL!), so he should be very competitive!

    An Open Petition to Alta to let us create our own maps (and to modify Map 3)

    Did you try Map 4? If you like the power of Map 4, but do not like it being too jerky, then just gear up your bike. Shift it into a 2nd gear.

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    The low ground clearance also makes is harder to lift the bike onto standard bike stands. Not because the bike is heavy, but because you have to lift it higher.

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    Yep. I saw Ty slowed down to barely a walking pace over those huge rocks, probably because hitting the skid place was not helping in keeping the balance on the bike.

    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    The whole experience and the story coverage were awesome. Just like in all other forms of racing, Alta showed a huge potential and many advantages over the gas competition. The architecture is solid. It can take anything you throw at it. The bike is fast and easier to ride. Once the battery...

    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    The long 50-minute video? I embedded it for you. But it shows racing in the woods at the 8:15 mark, not talking.

    DEFECTIVE 4CS FORK!!!

    No, not possible. There is quite a clearance between the two. Also, the base valve shims would have been all over the place. Also, your rebound was unaffected. The base valve only controls compression. The only difference between the two legs of the 4CS fork is that one of the check valves...

    Re-springing a 2017 Alta Redshift MX (and then revalving too)

    Good catch! I must have forgotten to list them after I found them. I only bought eight extra 6 X 28 X .15 shims for both legs, whereas the specs call for 16 shims total.

    Best Alta Generator

    I just was at Costco the other day and saw this: A-IPower 1600W Running / 2000W Peak Yamaha Powered Gas Inverter Generator Too bad these generators cannot be easily converted to 240V, or synced in series. Also, too bad none of the Alta chargers can charge from 120V 30A.

    Tires for the enduro models

    Do they make fat Nitro Mousse Bibs for the front Fatty tires?

    DEFECTIVE 4CS FORK!!!

    KTM and Husky had a recall on 4SC forks back in late 2015. Things were loose inside those forks. My 2015 Husky was not torqued tight either. The damping was crap, so I took it to a local tuner after riding it for 15 minutes and maxing out the clickers. A month later I got a recall notice in the...
