Welcome to the forum. Hope Christmas comes early to you this year!

I meant "use in anger", as in "use for real", it is just an expression. No, I wasn't angry. In fact, I was quite happy with all the available maps! Welcome to the forum, Chaconne!

SOLD! I thought I'd throw my current MX on here as well. The bike is a 2017 Redshift MX model. 33 hours (514 miles) as of 7/13/2018 Excellent track ready condition. Located in Ann Arbor, MI. Reduced $8,400 OBO (was $8,600; was $8,800) The bike has never been titled. I am the original owner...

Map 1 and 2 for trail riding. Map 1 is great for slippery uphills and "fuel" economy. Map 2 for everything else. At the MX track it is Map 3, most of the time. I tried Map 4 last weekend at the track in anger. It has its benefits too. The response is more immediate, the throttle becomes...

I can expand that by 1 acre, if the DNR doesn't mind me riding an electric on protected wetlands, LOL. I doubt though. I own them but I can't do anything there.

It took me longer than a couple of rides to realize that I can control the rear wheel slip way better than I could with a gas engine. Power sliding is a breeze, at any speed. Today I came across this Youtube video. A dude put an electric powertrain in a drift car. He is an engineer, but the...

UPDATE: The respring/revalve absolutely works for motocross. I have been fiddling with the forks' and shock's clickers and found a very nice combination. Works on this bike definitely better than the stock KYB SSS. If you own a Redshift with the 4CS suspension and want to try this revalve, here...

Last year I made myself a nice figure 8 or cloverleaf track in my tiny backyard. It is 1st gear only, but it is still a lot of fun and a good practice! I try to create and maintain decent ruts, so that I could practice them. That was last year, before I bough my Redshift. I was only able to...

I have added all the official info that Alta emailed to me to Steve's post above. Also, many thanks for our aftermarker suppliers for continuously expanding this list!

Awesome! I wonder whether whips will be more difficult, with no flywheel gyro effect. The spinning wheels are still there though.

On my 2017 Redshift MX I get 30+ miles trail riding, which is over 2 hours, with some juice left. I had 35-40 mile days too, but I had to ration the power on those days. At the MX track I get only 20 miles, which is about 40-45 minutes. Good enough for a light day of training. I have a 12-110V...

2018 ALTA REDSHIFT MXR I own a 2017 Alta Redshift MX. Yesterday Alta Motors had a demo day at Hollister Hills SVRA , south of San Francisco. I got to check out and ride the 2018 Alta Redshift MXR. Below is the review. MXA has never written an Alta review, so I will write one for them. Q: IS...

Selling 2015 Yamaha YZ450F -- which I bought brand new. Rare and beautiful White/Red color. Less than 20 hours. Located in Ann Arbor, MI. $5,390 OBO SOLD Title in hand -- it's been paid off since the day I bought it. Reason for selling -- Bought a Redshift MX! This had been my practice...

I revalved the stock 4CS fork this week following the specs that Alta sent me. The local MX track is closed for two seeks. So I went to my favorite off-road trail to test it. OMG! The ravalved shock worked before but now the fork works too! This was not a motocross track test with jumps and...

I have revalved the shock last weekend, following the new specs that Alta gave me. IT WORKED! I set both the compression and the rebound at 15 clicks at home and did not have to touch them at the track. The bike is well balanced, and I can jump much higher and farther. And the traction is still...

Back from testing a stock KYB SSS (2015 YZ450F) front end on my Alta. It worked! I put one 0.54 kg/mm and one 0.56 kg/mm spring in it. I ended up with almost the same clicker settings that I ran on the 2-stroke: Compression - 10 clicks, Rebound 8 clicks. The KYB SSS saves the day! I am getting...

Alta just emailed me a spreadsheet with the shim stack specs from their motocross team! I am pumped!!! :giggle:(y)

I will try to keep things simple. Move the YZ450F front end from my Husky onto the Alta and install stiffer springs. The Alta's fork springs are 12% stiffer, so maybe the SSS holds up. But I must revalve the shock. The shock spring on the Alta is 20% stiffer.
