    Chain Sliders and Alta parts, dealer only?

    I would take a lead on this, if @Fog 25 sends me his new slider. I am also in Michigan, 2-hour drive from Hot Foot Moto. I will be in Arizona in December with my Alta, but I will be able to make a prototype and then mail it or deliver it to Hot Foot.

    Chain Sliders and Alta parts, dealer only?

    We definitely need this part. For the stock sliders it is only a matter of time that the chain will loosen up and the slider will break. This would be a safe bet project for you. We could either buy a batch, or you could sell them on this site. That's what I was thinking too. Build up the stock...

    Haul it AND Charge it??

    The brake force of the regen is only like 2-5% of the max power, or 20-50 times less. If you can discharge the bike at WOT in 20 minutes, then it should take 7-17 hours of driving to charge it via regen.

    EXR 10hr. Service - Renew fork oil and shock fluid.

    It is not an easy drain and re-fill. It can be quite technical, depending on the bike that you have. You will need special tools too. I would not bother at 10 hours. Maybe 50-100 hours, then yes. I would take it to a suspension shop then. And have the seals changed at the same time.

    Media Review Visor Down - Alta'd Reality review

    He must have heard this info from the Alta guys. This is what they told me too. Perhaps they were mistaken.

    MotoVlog 2 - Dubya World Vet Championships at Glen Helen

    Awesome crew chief! I want one just like that too! Good filming and editing. Just need to move the helmet cam a bit up next time. This is probably the first 30+ minute vlog that I watched completely. I can hear your fast and heavy breathing in the video during the race! It sounded like you...

    DIY bike

    I suppose, if we do not hear any news about Alta any time soon, we should create a section for other bike manufacturers, including a DYI MX Bike sub-forum.

    Should this thread stay in Electrical Powertrain, or be moved into Battery Repair?

    Haul it AND Charge it??

    I used to transport dirt bikes like this a long-long time ago. I was removing the stock rear bumper and installing a steel beam with three horizontal pipe pieces welded to it. Remove the front wheel and attach the forks to the pipe with the stock front wheel axle. I could transport up to 3 bikes...

    This is an awesome find! Maybe if I am the first to place an order, they will ship me one?

    Ok, I need name for this section that does not suck. Any ideas? Perhaps several sub-forums for Battery repairs and options, Electrical repairs, Alta-specific body parts?

    Withdrawn Want to buy an MXR - new or used - Midwest or Southwest

    Haha, I already called them, talked to Josh. They still have that MXR, but they do not know if they can sell it, and if yes then for how much, because it is owned by Alta, not a bank. I asked them to find out. I also called four other dealers in my area. All had at least 1-2 new bikes in stock.

    BAD NEWS

    First Alta would have to declare a bankruptcy -- perhaps Chapter 11. Downsize and re-open on a much smaller scale. Would they still be able to operate and be profitable? Chapters 7, if they do not have a recovery plan. Banks and investors may buy the asserts at the auction, but I do not think...
