    Very nice! Wish my number was a fat single digit one.

    Fod Dancing With His New Alta & Rear Shock Issues

    My rear shock seems fine. I was surprised that the hard landings that have done today were actually relatively soft, especially when taking into account the apparent lack of the low-speed shock damping.

    Mine is one step down from the longest -- a 159" wheelbase but no "Maxi" 2-foot extension. It has a 12x6' cargo floor space. I can sleep in it across the floor, if I want to. FWD with a 3.6L Chrysler minivan engine and transmission, about 16mpg. Not the Sprinter diesel's fuel economy, but I...

    My 2017 MX was upgraded with white plastic. The 2018 MXR is all white. You can peel off or Photoshop away all the little color accents that it has to see how it would look all white.

    Mine is Ram ProMaster. It is a bit more spacious and cheap.

    My MX does everything very well, but OMG! The MXR does EVERYTHING better, for certain. I can feel the 6 lbs weight reduction, a bit more power, but what I liked the most was the MXR suspension! I hate to admit it, but the stock MXR suspension is a little better than my revalved MX suspension...

    I do not know if my MXR rear shock clickers working. I turned in both screws all the way it and it feels fine for now.

    Nice Sprinter! (y) No big deal, you probably pressed the Insert Full Image button twice. You can delete the extra images just like you delete text -- Backspace button, select and Delete, select and type over.

    I will be giving the MXR a thorough test in about half an hour.

    OMG! This thing has a 2x2 all-wheel-drive! If you can pour in gasoline in those panniers, this bike will be awesome for the growing adventure travel market.

    Low coolant in new MXR

    Yes, it all makes sense. Thank you, Ray. I forgot to mention. The coolant on my MX became a bit foamy while I was running the pump. Cavitation might be hard on the pump, but aeration is definitely not good for heat transfer. Keep that coolant level always in sight!

    Questions from a potential owner

    Alta is solid. They appear to be sitting on a gold mine, as far as technology and probably patents. Harley Davidson recently bought 20% of Alta because they want their battery tech. They are not short of investors at this point. I am just hoping that they do not sell out. They should not, not...

    Low coolant in new MXR

    The new MXR has not a black plastic but a red anodized aluminum coolant plug with a WARNING message in it. This must be a 1% of the 20% all-new parts. It barely took 10cc of coolant until I could see it.

    Fasst Company rear brake return spring on an Alta

    Yep. IIRC, you need to bend the tip inwards, towards the center of the spring.

    Low coolant in new MXR

    I checked the coolant on my MX. It dribbled out twice before, so I thought it could be low. I did not see the coolant initially, so I measured and poured in 40cc. It almost all immediately leaked out. I then started the pump and the level went down, low enough so that I could not see it...
