My interim battery charging strategy is to bring two fully charged bikes!

Alta porn photoshoot today.

Nice! Was that video from a drone?

OMG! This thing has a 2x2 all-wheel-drive! If you can pour in gasoline in those panniers, this bike will be awesome for the growing adventure travel market.

Yes, it all makes sense. Thank you, Ray. I forgot to mention. The coolant on my MX became a bit foamy while I was running the pump. Cavitation might be hard on the pump, but aeration is definitely not good for heat transfer. Keep that coolant level always in sight!

Alta is solid. They appear to be sitting on a gold mine, as far as technology and probably patents. Harley Davidson recently bought 20% of Alta because they want their battery tech. They are not short of investors at this point. I am just hoping that they do not sell out. They should not, not...

The new MXR has not a black plastic but a red anodized aluminum coolant plug with a WARNING message in it. This must be a 1% of the 20% all-new parts. It barely took 10cc of coolant until I could see it.

Yep. IIRC, you need to bend the tip inwards, towards the center of the spring.

I checked the coolant on my MX. It dribbled out twice before, so I thought it could be low. I did not see the coolant initially, so I measured and poured in 40cc. It almost all immediately leaked out. I then started the pump and the level went down, low enough so that I could not see it...

Would not work for me. But you can try and let us know.

Welcome to the Forum, rtf! The way it is going, we may have to create a special Decals and Graphics Kit category. For now use the Search function (the one with a magnifying glass icon): https://altaownersforum.com/search/18/?q=Decal+graphics EDIT: A new Graphics and Decals forum has been...

I had no idea you had an Alta racing team at your dealership! That's pretty cool. Tell us more! Who is on the team, and where will you be racing this season? Will any of the this racing coverage be on TV or YouTube?

Very nice! I like the huge ALTA logo on the front fender. Also, a great job trying to preserve the MXR original look with all these black hash marks.

The original problem is that the stock pedal effort is too light. It is too light on all KTM Brembo rear brakes. I cannot not feel the pedal when I am wearing motocross boots. It is too difficult to modulate the rear brake, and too easy to lock up the rear wheel. The Fasst return spring is a...

Welcome to the Forum, Corey! Hey, everybody, Corey @HudsonValleyMotorcycles is our another resident dealer that we have here in this Forum. He sold Alta Redshifts to at least two of the folks on this board, including myself! :ricky:

Welcome to the forum, Alta_mxr! The idea behind this mod is to increase the effort required for the brake pedal that is too easy to press. Both springs are essentially doing the same thing. Replacing one spring with another would have added the adjustability of the effort, but could have...

I do not want to start a measuring party tonight. I just remember that, compared to my Husky TC250 and my YZ450F, the Alta had the tops of their foot pegs 40mm lower. And the bottoms of the footpeg mounts were 60mm lower. In fact, the ground clearance was within a 1/4" of the rear fender...

Ouch! :eek:

Well, well, well... I got the "proofs" from Limited Decal. As I asked, they used the @HudsonValleyMotorcycles templates. Thank you, Corey! If I do not change anything, the look will be almost the same as on my 2017 MX. I like my 2017 MX look. I liked it as first sight, and still do. The 2018...

The ground clearance is significantly lower, even if measured to the subframe. Just notice how far the wheels are off the ground on the Alta when it is on a center stand. This is why it feels so heavy when lifting it -- because you have to lift it higher than other bikes to get onto the same...
