    2018 MXR Mods

    Ready to rock. If this rain will ever stop! Lol. That is one fat tire, Lol. I adjusted my bars to be rolled back a bit and now I need to adjust my bark busters down a little, I like them lower. Otherwise, all set, can't wait to try everything out, maybe tomorrow if its not pouring, so...

    2018 MXR Mods

    This gap between the fork and the wheel spacer had me a bit concerned, I hadn't read of anyone dealing with this, I was worried the wheel was not secure. Had me scratching my head for a bit. Took the axle on and off a couple of times and after puzzling on it, was wondering if I had the wrong...

    2018 MXR Mods

    The KTM triples waiting for install. Before installing them, I cleaned them up a bit, checked the bearings, and re-greased them. Alta uses a couple of o-rings in the steering stem, here is one, the other larger one goes on the steering neck itself. Stem test fit, looking good. This was a...

    2018 MXR Mods

    Got the rear wheel installed, was stumped why my chain was so tight, was semi-freaking out, wondering what was wrong. Axle spacers were reversed. I seem to recall doing this years ago on another bike and having the same freak out. Don't do this, Lol. Next up was to install the KTM triples...

    2018 MXR Mods

    Using info I learned here and online (thanks everyone!) I recently installed '14 KTM 500 EXC triple clamps as I noticed my stock Alta triples were the weaker 6061 Al ones and it appeared that the triple clamp pinch gap was narrowing. Besides getting some peace of mind, it will be easier for me...

    Nearly lost my front fork! What is the right Torque?

    I'm no expert on this mod, but I used '14 KTM 500 EXC triples, front wheel, axle, spacers, etc. That KTM triples offset is 20 mm and appears to fit fine, haven't tried riding it yet, but I expect no problems with the trail riding that I do. The Altas have an adjustable offset that is delivered...

    EXR Battery Range 20 Miles - Normal ?

    Same with my '18 MXR, and that is really milking it, last few miles wondering if its going to get me home. I was pretty disappointed to get about 26 miles up in the mountains, I probably could have gotten 30 or so out of it, but didn't want to run out of juice and have to walk miles back to my...

    Storm Bee

    I'm thinking until someone has one in hand here in the US, we won't know anything real about it. The more I read about the lack of warranty and parts support, and changing components on the Light Bee, the less excited I am about the Storm Bee. Still hoping it will be a good product and sells well.

    Nearly lost my front fork! What is the right Torque?

    Just re-read your post, perhaps I misunderstood and you're going to torque to KTM specs and not use KTM parts. Oh well, either way, I'll leave this here in case anyone is interested: I think these are all of the parts needed to use the KTM triples on an MXR: KTM triple clamps (including stem)...

    Nearly lost my front fork! What is the right Torque?

    The Alta triple clamps are not the strongest, mine had very little space left in the gap when torqued down. I replaced the Alta triples with '14 KTM 500 triples. This mod requires the matching KTM axle, front wheel, and spacers as the KTM triples are not as wide as the Alta triples (fork tube to...

    Storm Bee

    I'm not planning on purchasing a Storm Bee, but I am curious if Luna Cycle will be selling them. Luna has been really good about supporting the Sur Ron's, would be good if they did the same with the Storm Bee. I like the fact that they are a brick and mortar retailer that you could go to if you...

    2018 MXR Mods

    Right on. I bought my MXR used and the previous owner had installed these 1 1/8” risers, I like them. Not sure if the rest of the bar clamp parts are stock Alta or not, but the current setup is working pretty good.

    What type of coolant and gear oil do you use?

    Very informative. And hilarious. Thanks for posting. Mirrors my experiences over a lifetime of chain maintenance. For my dirt bikes, I settled on WD-40 years ago, mainly as a cleaner/rust preventer. Lubrication is secondary. My dirt bike riding is limited so I can accept the trade off of...

    Getting the Husky E5

    These mini e-dirt bikes from Husky and KTM bode well for us full sized riders. I think they're going to sell like hot cakes. Hopefully it will help convince them it is worth it to invest in developing an Alta comparable dirt bike, besides helping with the R&D of course. I can't wait, I'm not...

    2018 MXR Mods

    Purchased a complete Alta seat from Liquid Performance (at a great price, thank you Liquid Performance!) and converted it to a tall seat. Now I have two seats, the tall one for me and the stock seat in the event that I sell the MXR, I think it will make for an easier sale with the standard seat...

    EXR Battery Range 20 Miles - Normal ?

    20 miles seems low to me unless as stated in the dunes or full tilt on an mx track.

    2018 MXR Mods

    KTM kickstand mod fail. I believe this is a '12 KTM kickstand, combined with the Alta peg mount. Its totally lame, do not recreate this setup. And I couldn't find a good place to mount the spring so I bodged it onto the swingarm. Works but at some point I will figure out a better solution. I...

    2018 MXR Mods

    Prepping my MXR for trail riding, first thing I did was add the usual guards, Cycra Probend bark busters and the SXS skid plate. I like plastic skid plates and this one is very thick and covers the linkage nicely. The SXS skidplate is available here: ALTA full plate | SXSLIDEPLATE For...
