    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    I wasn't hoping that this would actually happen, but who knows, it does not hurt to ask. Can you share the shock's shim stacks?

    Must be the gears. Cold gear oil quiets things down.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    If they had, I really wish they had not. Zeros are irrelevant in the motocross world. Trail riding, maybe. But this is what the EX is for. I am convinced the MXR rear shock was just a result of a mad rush to start selling the latest and greatest MXR bikes ASAP, and tune the suspension later.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    Well, Altas are not suited for long open trails yet, so it is going to be mostly just us in the time being. Alta should better take that into account. After they screwed up badly with the 2017 MX springs and damping they fixed the springs on the 2018 MXR. Next year I hope they would fix the...

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    I think they kept the stock KTM damping (to save money) and just slapped on a much stiffer rear spring. The front is so-so, bit the rear is underdamped.

    Yes, it is like the Supercross, except they jump over logs and into the mud puddles.

    Redshift in hard enduro

    I do not think the Redshift could be competitive in the Romaniacs. They would have to swap battery packs and that would kill any time gains that they can make on the competition. I would be more interested in the US Endurocross championship this year. Alta hired a top rider Ty Tremaine to race...

    Is the Redshift MX suspension worth re-valving?

    That's a bummer. You can ship, the suspension shops receive and ship things all the time. Or you could look for a local guy who works on KTMs. You should ask your dealer, perhaps they know someone.

    Is the Redshift MX suspension worth re-valving?

    Dealers are usually clueless about revalves. Your best bet is to find a local RaceTech shop, especially since the Alta specs call for RaceTech fork adjusters.

    LOL! They will appreciate the sweetest 2-stroke sound and the smell of castor oil right next to their parking area.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    Yep, I figured to keep the throttle open the very first time at a motocross track. Today was different, there were kickers on the short and steep faces of some big jumps. Those kickers were blowing through my whole rear suspension travel. My throttle was neutral on the face of the jump but wide...

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    My MXR suspension is going for a revalve as soon as possible. Just came back from a local track that I am planning to race this season, and the short and steep jump faces, some with kickers, made it almost impossible to jump in a predictable manner. Almost endoed twice. I would have definitely...

    I could probably spin that 40 kW charger with my one bike to charge the other.
