    Ohlins steering damper fits nicely

    I noticed than on the Alta I have to grip the bars much tighter when entering bumpy turns compared to other bikes. I wonder why that is. The possibilities are: 1) Front wheel caster trail too short; 2) Not enough steering friction; 3) The bike is heavy and it teeter-totters too much over...

    Holy 14T - Sweet Spot!

    The battery drains about the same as in Map 2. The most favorite part for me is that I no longer have to twist the throtte goon-style on straightaways or on jump faces when Maps 2 or 3 run out of steam.

    Water in the rear subframe

    Has anyone figured out yet where to drill a hole to allow all that water to drain? I washed my bike last weekend. At the track today, not dusty, not muddy, perfect. The bike is still clean, but the rear subframe looks like it has been through a mudhole. The water came out and picked up all the...

    LOL! Someone already has two Factory Edition MXRs there in the UK.

    Holy 14T - Sweet Spot!

    I am testing my MX today with a 12/45 gearing. Very nice, I like it a lot! In Map 4 the pull begins slightly better than my old (stock) favorite Map 2 but continues pulling harder and much-much longer!

    Kingman, AZ! Very nice. I spend my winters working in Yucca and living in Havasu. We should meet-up in December.

    I had to ride an ICE bike this weekend

    I sold my 2015 YZ450F and 2015 Husky TC250. Do not miss them at all. But I still have warm thoughts about my 2005 CRF250. It just needs its maintenance done, plus a few small repairs. Then it will be good for some MX and light trail riding. I also kept the 1995 CR250. It makes no financial...

    Best Map for least sensitive throttle.

    Your wrist must be calibrated for Map 3 the best! (y)

    240V Gasoline Generators

    Turns out it is simpler than I thought, but you will need this tool and you will have to strip and separate some wires from a wire cable.

    Oh well... we will just have to wait a little longer to conquer the world. I wish the Erzberg results were better, but that will not change how much I enjoy riding the Alta at my local tracks.

    240V Gasoline Generators

    Checking voltage is simple, but to check the amps you need an amp meter that won't burn up at 240V and 16A. Those are connected in series with the load, AFAIK, so you will need to make a small extension cord with an ohm meter in it. Not a quick task. Hope I did not misinform here. I know almost...

    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    Honcho said there is was no black magic in the Lyndon's bikes, and I would assume this applies to the Ty's bikes as well. The MXR battery produces 25% more power, so this must be it.

    Owner's Review Ten Hour Review

    Yeah, I prefer a wider rear tire on this bike as well. The narrow ones are too easy to spin up. I am mounting a Dunlop MX12 in the rear today, also in a 110mm width. It is a new sand/soft terrain tire, the paddles are like on the MX11, but the center blocks are as large as on the MX3S, so it...
