    Decal Kits for the Alta

    Thanks, Scott! I am working with Limited Decal on a custom kit for my MXR. If you do not mind sharing what you have, please email it to me at admin at altaownersforum.com. Or you could upload it into "Resources" at the top of the forum for all to use.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    If I need a revalve, hopefully Alta will have the stiffer revalving specs ready for me again, like they had for my MX. Else, I might have to become creative.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    I am taking it back. The "60" in the 60-260 is indeed the spring rate, measured in N/mm. My 2017 MX rear spring rate is 62 N/mm, and I upgraded it to 65 N/mm. I should be able to use my old MX spring on the new MXR, if needed!

    Welcome to the Forum, Scott! Thank you for the cool SXS skid plate for my Redshift. It works very well.

    Brake Mod and Foot Pegs

    I updated the thread title to add footpegs, since this is where most of the discussion went.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    Wow. According to MXA: "The 2016 KTM 450SXF and 2016-1/2 Factory Edition came with the 48 N/m shock spring. This spring was too stiff for anyone under 180 pounds. The 2017–’18 450SXF has a more appropriate 45 N/m spring." Alta has not got back to me on my shock stock spring rate question yet.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    @MattB -- What is your stock 450 SX-F spring rate? I am thinking that if it is close to Alta's, which it should be, then we have a lot of options as far as suspension revalves.

    Looks like it is just a big battery. You charge it from your house power and then use it at the track. It should be able to charge the Redshift twice. But that thing is huge and HEAVY at 276 lbs, even if one wants to spend $6K to buy it. It can be laid on the floor though between the bikes...

    MXR Kickstand

    Measure twice, cut once. Use pieces of plywood or magazines under both tires to test exactly how much of the kickstand to cut.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    I am new to air forks as well. But if I need a revalve, my buddy Adam from Kreft Moto will come up with something. He makes the coolest WP AER setup on the market called "Revalve Control". WP suspension is all he works on. I already gave him a heads-up. My air pump, which did not come with the...

    Tusk foot pegs on an Alta

    Welcome to the Forum, Fog 25! So you are the riding buddy of Fod then. That's easy to remember! :D I suppose a slight forward slant of the pegs might be better than a rearward slant. Good point.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    Welcome to the Forum, Matt! A 4% increase of the spring rate is very significant, so a 62 N/mm spring (is stock 60 N/mm??) should make a big difference. But first try cranking up the compression clickers -- both low-speed and high-speed. You guys are way ahead of me on this one. I haven't had...

    Tusk foot pegs on an Alta

    Ha! You mean not horizontal in the longitudinal plain? Just noticed that. Slanted forward by perhaps by just 3-5 degrees, I never noticed that before.

    I wonder if I should exchange my DuroMax XP4400E for this Lifan... It is 20 lbs lighter and 4 dBa quieter... hmm...

    Shipping from Australia could be a killer. But Europe's prices could be a killer as well. I connected to a VPN and pretended I were in the UK. This is what Google found me: https://www.justgenerators.co.uk/pramac-p4500i-inverter-generator.html...

    MXR Kickstand

    I would call Alta or the credit card company because you ordered a Factory kickstand assembly but instead received a DIY kickstand kit!

    New MX-R

    In my experience, most motorcycle speedometers report 10% higher speeds. Not sure why they do it. It causes bikers to speed 20mph over and hurts the resale value.

    Questions from a potential owner

    Yes, I am a two-timer, I admit it. The wife and the hot new girlfriend share the same room -- the garage. This is how real Alta-males roll. :p
