    How do you use your Alta?

    Am I the only one who does not know what "ST" means?

    Alta demo in Michigan this weekend

    I had that fork clunk on my MX too until I revalved my suspension and added damping. It don't think it is dangerous, but it certainly does not sound good, it does not feel good on you hands, and it sort of upsets the bike in whoops and sand rollers by kerning the front end down.

    Warranty/Dealer question

    I think it might actually be possible to incorporate the map tuner software into the dash. It has a display and a plenty of buttons, so all Alta needs to do is write the software. Who here can code? Apply for a job at Alta! They might even let you work from home without moving to San Francisco...

    I can rotate pictures easily, just send me a PM.

    Alta demo in Michigan this weekend

    I got a chance to test out the EX and the EXR. Both have a top speed of 75 mph (the dash says). The EX and EXR suspension is way too soft. The EX has the 4CS fork that clunks when it tops out. The EXR has an Explor fork, which is much nicer. Still, too soft. The EX should come with the MX...

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    Pushing a dead Alta is a chore. I want a neutral! Just kidding. If it happens again, next time I will remove the chain.

    As Butch once said, you pay for the tee-shirt. The bike comes free.

    My decal graphics from Limited Decal

    If you cannot squeeze the old bubbles out with a squeegee, you can pop them with a needle and then iron them out with a squeegee.

    My decal graphics from Limited Decal

    0) Wash the bike, remove old stickers, remove the remaining glue. I also cleaned it with a contact cleaner. 1) Align the graphics to make sure you know where you want it to be. 2) Spray the plastic with the fluid. Water could work too, but it is not as slippery. 3) Remove the graphics' backing...

    My decal graphics from Limited Decal

    I finally got around to installing the custom decal kit that I ordered from Limited Decal onto my MXR. I had to buy a heat gun. Without it the installation would have not been possible on this bike. There were no installation instructions in the box. I am glad I had a spare Attack Graphics...

    Anyone running Kreft suspension?

    Over here on this forum it looks like it is just me with the Kreft suspension. But there are other Altas that Kreft revalved, for sure.

    Pro Motocross 2018

    I will not be cheering for Pastrana and K-Dub. Pastrana has always been a showman, not a racer. And K-Dub has always been a slower top-5 rider, like Seely. And I do not even know who the third guy is.

    How do you use your Alta?

    Totally agree! Last time I tried trail riding was in ~2001, and I didn't like it very much. I was attacking the trails, and the trees were fighting back. I went out with a bunch of guys ~3 years ago, and it was okay. But I never thought about riding alone. Let me tell you, riding an Alta...

    How often to check the WP AER48 fork air pressure?

    Well... So far so good. The Kreft suspension is working. I have been fiddling with the clickers a little, only +/- 1-2 clicks has been enough. The low-speed damping control is very nice now. I had a nice flow going on Wednesday at a sand track. I am yet to play with the Revalve Control...

    Chain Slider failures

    @Judaslefourbe -- How soon will we have the new design available? Owners and the aftermarket want to know whether or not to invest in a temporary fix.

    How do you use your Alta?

    About half of us here do motocross. If you bring a generator with you and charge during the breaks then the battery life is not a problem, usually. The other half does trail riding, backyard riding, riding with buddies, hooligan riding, etc. We have a few SM owners. I am not sure if they use...
