    How often to check the WP AER48 fork air pressure?

    I am going to get an Xtrig rear spring preload adjuster when I revalve my MXR suspension. Then I will be able to play with the rear sag and the front pressure. Right now the damping is so far off that playing with minor spring adjustments is pointless.

    How often to check the WP AER48 fork air pressure?

    I should perhaps start checking it every once in a while. I do not yet have a favorite pressure setting, so it is kinda pointless for me to set it to some target. But knowing what pressure works for what track is valuable.

    Tubeless?

    Tubliss (not tubeless) uses an inner bicycle tire with tube inside the main tire. There are two valve stems per each wheel -- four chambers. So you'd need four TPMS sensors.

    How often to check the WP AER48 fork air pressure?

    I am new to air forks, if I didn't count mountain bikes. I have never had one on my dirt bike before I got my MXR. I bought the MXR almost 3 months ago, but I haven't adjusted or even checked the pressure since the dealer set it when they unboxed the bike. The fork still seems fine, but I...

    Tubeless?

    Tubeless is the way to go for most bikes. Pull that nail out, plug it up, pump up and you are good to go again. Saves at least half an hour and a lot of grunt and sweat on every flat repair. It helps to have TPMS though, at least on road bikes. It saves a lot of worry, periodic pressure...

    I couldn't do that. I had a Rekluse clutch on it. But I used workarounds if I had to park it on a hill for a while -- an Allen key to release the Rekluse preload.

    Nah. Nothing is as heavy to lift as a big KTM Adventure bike. I was able to lift this one two years ago, without scraping off all the plastic to rotate it. I may never be able to repeat that feat.

    charging complete?

    The pump keeps running to cool the battery and even out the internal heat that was caused by the charging. Let it do its job, if you are not in a hurry.

    Coolant Pump... not running with ignition on

    Man, you have so much patience and faith! Alta or your dealer should have also sent you a gold medal.

    Fasst Company rear brake return spring on an Alta

    The brake pedal damper must be the Alta's solution to the touchy brakes and snappy throttle.

    Display issues?

    I have seen that green corner on my MXR once, after I turned the key off. I cycled the key once more and it disappeared.

    Inverters (12V to 120V - 240V) and Step-Up Transformers (120V to 240V)

    I stuffed the new inverter under the driver's seat. The previous one was held there securely by rubber bands. The new one will need to have two 1/8" thick steel straps to hold it in place safely. I do not want my feet crushed by it in case of an accident.

    Speedometer/Odometer reads from motor shaft, NOT front wheel!!

    WOW! That's impressive. Did you think about starting an electric dirt bike company? If you had built and sold a few of those, we now could have been talking on a Steve Moto Owners Forum! ;)

    Inverters (12V to 120V - 240V) and Step-Up Transformers (120V to 240V)

    Not sure about CE and UL certifications. There is an ISO9001 stickler and another small one with a royal crown. I have added the weights, check them out. I am not convinced that making this thing so huge and heavy was necessary.

    Speedometer/Odometer reads from motor shaft, NOT front wheel!!

    The MXR having a speedometer and an odometer is an extra that you do not get on other motocross bikes. The motocross industry standard is to have no speedometer. Honestly, I think there could have been no LCD display on the MX/MXR at all, if there was another more robust way to display the...
