This is a pretty geeky discussion, I like it. It belongs into the Technical forum. I just moved it.

Bikes displaying an incorrect 10% higher speed seems to be a standard industry practice. No idea why motorcycle manufacturers keep doing this. A higher displayed value encourages speeding, shortens the warranty period, and hurts the resale value. Time to write to your congressman to request...

Awesome! Beautiful scenery, a great place to share with someone special in your life. Love it!

Man, glad you finally got yourself an Alta bike! I told you you'd like it! Thank you for the review and the video! (y)

LOL! This is awesome. They should add some more regen, chain, and dirt hitting the rear fender sounds though. But it is pretty close already, I like it. I think this video game had 60-70hp Altas though. I wonder how soon the MXR-R will be coming out. :D

Nice jungle riding!

I have stickied this thread. Hope it does not grow too big. But if we keep seeing certain error codes we will hopefully know what they mean and what to do about them.

Thank you for updating us. Please let us know how it works out.

I rarely thrown away old inner tubes. Usually they get cut into rubber bands. It should be even possible to keep that rubber band nearby. Either on the front brake lever, or somewhere not far away, in case it is needed. I use a heavy-duty velcro tie when I transport heavy bikes in my van...

Thank you, Fog. I considered sending my suspension to shops that already got good reviews, but I have some history with and loyalty to Kreft Moto. They just finished tuning an MXR that someone left with them. The engineer in me would also be kicking himself if I do not try out their Revalve...

Perhaps you're right. I need to try to do it manually one more time. There is surely a lot of room around this shock. I just though if I make it easier to do, I would be doing it more often. With the possibility of changing the fork's air pressure easily, it wouldn't hurt to play with the rear...

Here is a retrofit option: KTM PowerParts Brake Lock | MotoSport

I am going to get an Xtrig rear spring preload adjuster when I revalve my MXR suspension. Then I will be able to play with the rear sag and the front pressure. Right now the damping is so far off that playing with minor spring adjustments is pointless.

I should perhaps start checking it every once in a while. I do not yet have a favorite pressure setting, so it is kinda pointless for me to set it to some target. But knowing what pressure works for what track is valuable.

Tubliss (not tubeless) uses an inner bicycle tire with tube inside the main tire. There are two valve stems per each wheel -- four chambers. So you'd need four TPMS sensors.

I am new to air forks, if I didn't count mountain bikes. I have never had one on my dirt bike before I got my MXR. I bought the MXR almost 3 months ago, but I haven't adjusted or even checked the pressure since the dealer set it when they unboxed the bike. The fork still seems fine, but I...

Tubeless is the way to go for most bikes. Pull that nail out, plug it up, pump up and you are good to go again. Saves at least half an hour and a lot of grunt and sweat on every flat repair. It helps to have TPMS though, at least on road bikes. It saves a lot of worry, periodic pressure...

I couldn't do that. I had a Rekluse clutch on it. But I used workarounds if I had to park it on a hill for a while -- an Allen key to release the Rekluse preload.

Nah. Nothing is as heavy to lift as a big KTM Adventure bike. I was able to lift this one two years ago, without scraping off all the plastic to rotate it. I may never be able to repeat that feat.

The pump keeps running to cool the battery and even out the internal heat that was caused by the charging. Let it do its job, if you are not in a hurry.
