    Congrats to all Alta Owners! Last week our forum membership surpassed 100. Not a large number, but it will surely increase as Alta Motors keeps building and selling bikes. With that in mind, I thought I would find a way to make it easier to locate other Alta owners nearby. Introducing: Member...

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

    What is "the tank"?

    Tesla pickup truck

    Musk pre-sold a few hundred of those semi trucks already. One of the orders was 100 trucks, IIRC. Someone must need them, and probably not just for the cool or environmental reasons. They are already priced competitively compared to the semi trucks currently on the market. Very little...

    Handling fees?

    It was included when the Redshift cost $15K. With that, I'd say, a 240V generator should have been included!

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

    It's a very popular KTM WP shock. It should be pretty robust, else everyone would have heard about it.

    Handling fees?

    There shouldn't be any such fees. I was an fool myself when one of the dealers added a "destination charge" on my invoice and I didn't question it. This is all BS. :poop:

    Fod airing it out

    I am coming over to ride with all of you in December. Always wanted to ride some SoCal tracks, especially Glen Helen!

    That's what I thought. Traction control. So, with us adding 2 teeth to the front sprocket we blow up all this factory tuning. And go faster. Good to know! :ricky:

    Decal Kits for the Alta

    Yeah, looks like KYB, LOL! Did you swap the $4K worth of cone valve fork internals with some lucky Yamaha owner?

    Decal Kits for the Alta

    They say "Smart ECU" on them. Have you replaced the Alta's controller with your own design already?

    Ok, I agree, tight rutted corners would be one exception. Did you try Map 4 in those corners?

    Owner's Review 10 minute review

    Check out the torque plot at the bottom of this post. A smaller front sprocket will give you more torque at speeds below 25mph. But even the fast riders around here rarely can use more than 40 ft-lbs of torque at that speed because it all goes straight into the wheelspin. Alta Redshift MXR and...

    Just for the record, I do not want that on MX bikes. Being able to spin up the rear wheel quickly when up in the air saved my derriere more than once already, when I got kicked by a kicker on the face of a jump.

    Welcome Alta owners and fans of Alta motorcycles!

    I though Google or WikiHow would have a good intro on how to use Internet forums, but they do not. The best general forum introduction guide that I was able to locate quickly is posted on some other forum here: http://www.thespoilingdeadfans.com/threads/message-board-basics.16445/ To ask your...
