    Lyndon Poskitt's entire kit stolen enroute to Erzberg...Alta Motorcycles Content - TELL EVERYONE

    Good idea to post this on your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, any social media. There is "an average degree of separation of 3.43 between two random Twitter users". With enough of tweets you can reach the thieves themselves, or their next door neighbors...

    Could it be the same color order as on the male part?

    Help - map wiring... and KTM connectors

    There is a small white connector behind the number plate, near the middle. The other wire from that connector appears to be joining the left loom that sticks out from under the "gas tank" cap. BTW, that gas tank cover is called "delta wing". Need to add this to the Alta's dictionary.

    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    Friday is the first race, so they have to have the bikes in Erzberg and race ready by Thursday night at the latest. I am just hoping that those two bikes were both Lyndon's and Ty has a spare. Else, no amount of money would get Alta into this race. The worst timing possible.

    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    OMG! This is horrible. Were those both Lyndon's bikes, or one his and one TT's? That's amazing how anyone could do such a heist without a meticulous prior planning. Stealing both bikes, generators and gear in under 20 minutes. Who the hell will be able to ride them in the UK unnoticed anyway...

    Alta Redshift MXR and MX on a Dyno - Riding Maps Demystified

    No problem, I am glad to explain. Normally the dynos measure the HP that is required to spin the dyno's drum (HP at the rear wheel). They also measure the RPM by reading a spark plug wire. You can already plot the HP vs RPM accurately. From the ratio of the dyno's speed to the engine's RPM it...

    Alta supplied tools?

    Yep, this is what my 2017 MX came with as well, in the same box as the charger, minus the air pump, of course.

    Alta Redshift MXR and MX on a Dyno - Riding Maps Demystified

    I have added a 14/45 sprocket combination. It is initially similar to running in the stock Map 2, only with way more power above 28mph. Whole 15hp more at 45mph! Not a bad combination at all. ____ Power MXR Map 4 with stock 12/53 sprockets ____ Power MXR Map 3 with stock 12/53 sprockets ____...

    Alta EXR

    There have been articles about the MXR, EXR and SMR like the ones below since January of this year: http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/alta-manufacturer/alta-motors-to-produce-r-versions-of-redshift-mx-ex-and-sm.html...

    Holy 14T - Sweet Spot!

    Maybe this is why the Alta feels so teeter-tottery in the whoops compared to other bikes? I rode a 2016 Factory Edition KTM 450SXF yesterday, and while it felt very top-heavy, slow (for my skill level), and not as exciting as the Alta, it stayed dead level through all the whoops and bumps.

    Holy 14T - Sweet Spot!

    It will feel slower only at speeds below 35mph. Which is not a big deal because most of us seem to prefer slower maps at low speeds anyway. After that it will feel faster. And you will gain some top speed, in case you need it. You will be able to use more of the bike's power if you ride in Map...

    Holy 14T - Sweet Spot!

    I was initially considering going the other way, but I am glad it is all making sense to me now. If you install a 14/45 gearing, it will feel like Map 2 at low speeds and like Map 4 at high speeds. And you will have even more power at 50mph and above. Anyone wants to see what a 14/45 gearing...

    LOL! I must have done something un-admin-like more than once to deserve this kind of feedback. I should start adding smiley faces to those messages where I am not dead serious.

    My apologies. I am sorry if this came across wrong, or condescending, or stating the obvious. I was driving from a MX track and just wanted to give you a quick answer to the question that you asked. Perhaps my message was curt, or I did not use the right words. Sorry about that. I didn't mean...
