@Bionicman -- What is MoM? Is it a typo or a new acronym that everyone should be aware of?

So instead of one oil change per year it will be one every 2-3 years. NICE!!! (y)(y)(y)

I rarely touch that run switch. It usually stays ON on my bikes. It does not kill all the power. Only the key does.

We will see. If I have time, them perhaps today I will install my own Alta LHRB knockoff kit with dual actuation. I will then test it tomorrow and will be able to tell if I still want a bigger rear caliper.

It would be perfect if it was possible to fully modulate the rear brake with one finger. It should be as powerful as the front brake, and should be easier to lock up than the front brake.

Those CR calipers won't create an increase in the braking force that we are looking for. You need a bigger total piston area. Two (small) pistons does not always mean the total piston area is larger. What you simply need is a caliper from a heavier bike. Perhaps even a single piston KTM...

I like. She's not going anywhere.

Which calipers are they for? Those adapters/cariers are easy to make. The calipers can be expensive though, $200 used.

Urban Dictionary: Alta This is actually more entertaining than what I expected.

Yeah, #metoo I like your Urban Dictionary style.

Cool. What's the official name of those two frame rails in front and under the battery?

Check out what @Elite Motorsports has available: Plug adapter for the L14-30 to 5-15 plug I will need one of those too... maybe soon... as soon as Alta gets me a Rapid charger.

Sadly the little birdie was way wrong... No KTM chain sliders will fit the Alta. So we need to either reinforce the stock sliders or wait for the aftermarket to come up with something. @MotoMinded

Yeah. The only time I find those shrouds marginally acceptable is when I am wearing knee braces. Even then, their ( ) bubble shape does not flow with how the knees move. These ribs are for styling only. I wonder if they are just cut out, would this be better?

Perhaps 42 ft-lbs of torque did not sound very impressive when the bike has only 1 gear? This is probably why someone decided to multiply it by 3.5. But even with the 34 ft-lbs of crank torque my MX, which is also geared up 12/45, was still called a "Torque Monster" today by a B-level rider. He...

Someone recently suggested that we should put together a list of acronyms that Alta uses. I keep seeing new ones popping up on the forum. If you notice some new acronym or an unknown term, post it in its thread with a question mark next to it, or a definition, if you know the definition. I will...

LOL. I like how you chose to post Pastrana in "Humor".

All other manufacturers report the torque at the motor. The max RPM is about 14K, just like on the 4-stroke 250. Why they initially decided to report the torque anywhere else is unclear.

I might have found an off-the-shelf hose, but I am waiting for a new 9mm master cylinder to arrive first to tell for sure.

I think I know why. The front sprocket is 1 tooth smaller, so with the same 116-link chain the wheelbase would grow by 1/4 of the chain's pitch -- 5/32" or about 4mm. Install the old 13-tooth front sprocket and the wheelbase will be back to where it was.
