    Picture with the Josh Hill at Monster Cup

    I had to look him up. He is not as famous as Josh, but looks like the same hooligan. (y)

    Did you keep your old bike?

    Wow! I now regret not buying a nearby property with 10 acres of land, a little lake, and a pole barn. I didn't like the smaller house, and I didn't think I would be allowed to ride dirt bikes there because the silent Alta motorcycles were not around back then. But if I had a plenty of storage, I...

    Yes, I second the need to brace that slider. Your repair looks pretty, but it will get busted quickly if you let the slider flex in that area. You can add rubber or hard foam under it. Although, now that it is cracked, you may want to consider jamming and epoxying a piece of wood under that...

    Did you get a chance to talk to him about his recent Alta riding and future plans?

    Sold 2018 Alta MX-R titled.

    This is really an awesome opportunity for someone who cannot decide between the MXR and the EXR. The best of both worlds, plus an amazing price!

    The chain noise at hight speed does not get quieter with the o-rings, but it does get quieter at lower speeds.

    Anyone running Kreft suspension?

    That says a lot. Apparently, the new 2019 KX450 comes with an A-kit suspension with a Kashima coating. According to MXA, it is especially loved by slower riders, presumably those who are most sensitive to chatter bumps. I really want to buy this bike and be like Tomac. But then I recall all...

    Chains

    Much quieter! That was a huge selling point for me because I hated listening to the chain noise all the time, even when pushing the bike into the garage.

    Chains

    The original Regina chains on my Husky and KTM were horrible. DO NOT PRESSURE WASH YOUR O/X RING CHAINS! I was not paying attention, and on my 5,000 mile adventure ride last year the chain stretched beyond adjusting ability by Day 2 so much that it was jumping off the sprocket in turns. The...

    Parts compatibility

    The Alta's frame is unique, so the skid plates are unique as well.

    Parts compatibility

    That's about sums it up. Add KTM brakes and KTM wheels, which require 7mm spacers in the front.

    Chains

    I switched to a Tusk x-ring chain after about 3 hours. The stock chain kept wearing and stretching, requiring daily adjustments. It even stretched enough to start flopping and break the front chain slider. If I had kept doing adjustments, it would have eaten away the sprockets too. The argument...

    They get crazy hot. This is why these bulbs have the cooling fins and a fan.

    Anyone running Kreft suspension?

    I am sad to report that this week I sent the Kreft suspension back to be returned to stock. It did not work for me on the tracks that I like to ride and race. I do not want to bash Kreft, they are an innovative and high-quality company with a large fan base, but I not a fan of how their product...
