Very nice!!! This is funny how you are wearing shorts and sneakers, but you protect your knees. The Redshift has those ridiculous shroud ribs that would hurt the insides of your knees if you are not wearing anything. I may have to do the same. I have been riding in my garage work jeans in my...

The MX and MXR models have a 12/53 gearing. But the stock speedometer reports about 10% higher speed than the GPS speedometer does, at least on my MX it does. Perhaps it does not know which gearing the bike really has. And I should check my MXR top speed!

It would be very nice to keep the Rapid charger with the generator in the van, and the Standard charger in the garage. Fewer things to drag around.

Thank you, Ray. If Alta does not send me anything better, I will upload this '18 KTM 450SX-F manual into Resources. The'14 KTM 250 XC-F manual should be good for the MX models with the 4CS suspension.

Yes, click the picture icon, and then the chain link icon: On a PC you can also select/highlight any image in any browser, hit Ctrl-C (copy), then Ctrl-V (paste) when you want to paste it in your forum message. On a Mac, the commands are Command-C (copy) and Command-V (paste), I think. This...

Wow. I must have gotten screwed out of a spare charger too. According to the Alta's press release: "The 2018 Redshift MXR priced at $11,995 with the option of new Rapid Charger for $799 or Standard at $499." How much did you guys pay for your chargers?

Cool! Thank you for the idea and for the part numbers! I did notice that the top speed of 70mph on my MX is a bit ridiculous. I have never exceeded 45mph at a motocross track. But I did not know 11-tooth front sprockets were available for purchase! What about 10-tooth sprockets? If I try a...

Ha! You are right! I checked the list of items that comes with the bike and it had an air pump on it! Just called my sales person and left a message. Hopefully I will pick it up next week together with the Rapid charger.

That largely has to do with the fact that the Redshift has a slightly lower ground clearance than most MX bikes. You have to lift it higher to get it up on a center stand.

Excellent review! Thank you, Steve! Looking very good on that MXR! Two American flags in the back, and you throwing roost! :cool: Wow, Alta will take your standard charger back when the Rapid one arrives? Very nice!!! I am then doubly impressed that you were able to charge the bike with your...

I just compared the throttles on my old MX and my new MXR. They appear to be the same. Measured the angular travel -- exactly the same. What I am hoping for is that, with 25% more available power, the end result will be that the MXR throttle will feel 25% quicker.

I am jealous! It will be raining heavily here for the entire weekend, all local tracks are closed. Two weeks from now Championship Powersports (a northwest Ohio dealer) will have a demo day at the MX Express track. No gas will be allowed that day, but the track said I am invited!

The bike came with nothing, not even an air pump. Air forks are new to me. Yesterday I located one Schrader valve, one compression clicker, and today I found one rebound clicker hidden behind a rubber plug. There was a note attached to the bike that the fork air pressure was set to 154 psi...

Congrats, Fod and buddy!!! That also was my first impression with jumping in Map 2. You are simply not prepared for the rear wheel to stop while you are up in the air. It is much easier to start in Map 3. But if the jump is long enough, then Map 3 will pull your front end down as well...

Trying here not to steal the Steve's thread. Here is a new thread about decals: http://altaownersforum.com/threads/decal-kits-for-the-alta.65/

The are also some decal kits that are made by Factory Effex. Alta says that they have the templates. Also worth researching.

I really like the custom graphics kit on my 2017 MX. It was ordered by Hudson Valley Motorcycles And produced by these guys: Limited Decal 37995 Mohawk Drive Charlotte Hall, MD 20622 sales@limiteddecal.com peggy@limiteddecal.com I am working with them to make a kit for my MXR. I will let...

I actually prefer the custom graphics kit on my MX. The stock MXR certainly looks better than the stock MX, but after being used to seeing all those fenders and shrouds "tattooed" with different labels, I think I will be missing that. I want to get a graphics kit for my MXR. I certainly want...

I bought my SXS skid plate a month ago from Elite Motorsports, but I haven't installed it yet. It was sitting and waiting for me in Michigan.
