Welcome aboard, Chris! We appreciate and are very excited about the support that Alta motorcycles are receiving from the aftermarket. Thank you for making cool and flashy (!!!) things for us!

From listening to the Redshift old-timers it seems like the software updates have been rare and even somewhat optional. You might be better of renting a laptop only when you need it.

Supermoto R? Then it should be SMR.

Sounds like a good excuse to try racing slicks on your bike! Too bad I am almost never in California on July 1st.

@aremean79 -- I think you may want to buy your MXR from Elite Motorsports together with that rental laptop. You will be able to do your own updates and diagnostics at home in Singapore.

This could be an really attractive solution to some. $3,000 added to my home equity line of credit is just $10/mo. It is about the same as buying a Yamaha's GYTR tuner thingie, if taken over the average duration of a bike ownership. Or less, if you want to keep things as-is and return the laptop...

No, not selling. Diagnosing problems and updating software.

+1. I remember re-sleeving my moped's cylinder, heating it up in my grandma's kitchen oven, then drilling and filing new ports in it. Soldering my own reed valve cages out of brass plates. Changing all the frame geometry with a hack saw and a welder to match the pictures in magazines...

This could be an AWESOME solution for Alta as well! This would not satisfy all the hackers and the tuners but should make all other owners (especially those living far away from dealers), as well as Alta Motors, extremely happy. @Judaslefourbe

The only common problem is that the racers among us want more damping in the rear shock. But you can fix it yourself or take/ship the shock to any KTM suspension shop. We have been talking about the pros and coins of dealer laptops, diagnostics and software access here...

By popular demand the valuable TSB-related posts have been moved to Technical - Electric Powertrain subforum and stickied there at the top. Technical Service Bulletins (TSB)

Yeah, perhaps they are trying not to succeed. Else they will have to keep increasing their production to keep up with the demand. :censored:

The rumor is that KTM is also coming out with a real full-size MX electric bike.

I wouldn't be so sure. That Yamaha video is from 4 years ago. There is no telling where they might be now with this program. Maybe they are just holding back until they make it faster than the Alta. I would.

Fiddlesticks! You are powerful enough that they are letting you hang out on this board and chat with us instead of doing actual work. Tell Marc you need a positive MXA review to empower you to do your work. Use your corporate credit card to buy an MXA ad. Then sneak out a new MXR from out the...

... I think I see where you are coming from, Ray. But looking at the breakdown of our little forum it appears that most of Alta owners are former Big 6 MX bike owners, not former Zero owners. Alta is stealing new bike sales from the Big 6 first and foremost.

Must be a neighbor of @Mark911. Trax shock, cone valve(??) forks, Xtrig triple clamps, anodized hubs, white stripes on the seat. Maybe this is Mark's secret second bike. Or maybe not because the rear lineage looks stock.

To Alta the ICE competition is real. They are trying to steal their share of new bike sales for them. It is all the same market. Riders either buy and ride ICE, or buy and ride electric. The same guy cannot ride two bikes at once, so he will most likely choose to buy just one new bike. If Alta...
