Welcome to the forum, dgedition! I have some experience with riding rocks and roots. I have a root in my backyard that I hit every 25 seconds, and I rode a plenty or rocks in Arizona. The Redshift does very well in that terrain compared to ICE bikes. It has a ton of traction and is much more...

Nice! I wrote the same thing two months ago in my MXA-style review: "It (Alta) can turn tighter and cut under any other bike, including the proverbial Suzuki." I am glad the motorcycle media came up with the same conclusion. Or perhaps they just read my review before they wrote their article.

I did a lot of MTB riding in the evenings a few years ago. Back then I had a decent quality of sleep and could get a full rest after a late night training session. I went into the woods or into the desert at night and rode my usual route. I wonder if I would be able and brave enough to do the...

Done. You can edit your own threads' titles yourself as well.

Thank you, Scott! I might have to take you up on that offer of a WP AER repair manual CD, especially if I have to dig into this fork myself. Yes, I am getting a pump soon. Got the toolkit with the bike. I received the 2018 MXR suspension specs from Alta on Monday. I have uploaded them here...

Woo-hoo !!! (y)

Zaaap is the new Braaap!

Welcome to the Forum, Judaslefourbe! I am thrilled at having our own resident Alta guy! Thank you for helping us figure things out about out Alta bikes.

Mine overheated once at a MX track when I tried Map 4 at the end of the day.

Here is the Australian eBay. https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_nkw=inverter generator&ssPageName=GSTL Good stuff! But shipping will cost more than the product.

LOL! Cool video. Charlie was the star of the show!

Thanks, Scott! I am working with Limited Decal on a custom kit for my MXR. If you do not mind sharing what you have, please email it to me at admin at altaownersforum.com. Or you could upload it into "Resources" at the top of the forum for all to use.

If I need a revalve, hopefully Alta will have the stiffer revalving specs ready for me again, like they had for my MX. Else, I might have to become creative.

I am taking it back. The "60" in the 60-260 is indeed the spring rate, measured in N/mm. My 2017 MX rear spring rate is 62 N/mm, and I upgraded it to 65 N/mm. I should be able to use my old MX spring on the new MXR, if needed!

Welcome to the Forum, Scott! Thank you for the cool SXS skid plate for my Redshift. It works very well.

I updated the thread title to add footpegs, since this is where most of the discussion went.

Wow. According to MXA: "The 2016 KTM 450SXF and 2016-1/2 Factory Edition came with the 48 N/m shock spring. This spring was too stiff for anyone under 180 pounds. The 2017–’18 450SXF has a more appropriate 45 N/m spring." Alta has not got back to me on my shock stock spring rate question yet.

@MattB -- What is your stock 450 SX-F spring rate? I am thinking that if it is close to Alta's, which it should be, then we have a lot of options as far as suspension revalves.
