    Riding an Alta Redshift in my backyard

    It was difficult to lean the bike any further, the foot pegs were dragging in the ruts!

    Oh the things you can do with the Redshift!

    Alta Redshift SM

    I would have to ask someone at work if I could run a power cord out of the facility, or out of the Security building. Not so easy to get a power outlet at work. Any tips?

    Alta Redshift SM

    Beautiful bike! I am sure everyone here is secretly envying you and wants to have the SM as well. I want to own one as well, if I can make a round drip to work and back on one charge with some juice to spare. At this time it is a bit too close for comfort for me. But I am hoping...

    New MX-R

    I think Alta is a black box for now. We would have to disassemble and reverse-engineer things. I will poke the throttle with a multimeter next time I dig into the bike deep enough to reach its connectors. Another option is to ask Alta. They still have engineers doing Tech support, so they...

    New MX-R

    Ray, do you think you could figure out a shorter throttle for the Alta? The stock throttle seems a bit long, it needs frequent re-gripping, and my right wrist gets tired at MX tracks too early.

    New MX-R

    Welcome to the Alta Owners Forum, Ray! WOW! LOL! That is an impressive list of mods on your Zero. But I see all of them (other than the throttle) are for things that are mechanical, not electrical. This makes me feel so grateful that I do not need to do all this work on my Alta.

    Redshift EX videos

    I think I may want a drone to follow my practice sessions or races. Except, I once bought an automatic follow-me camera setup, but I never used it because setting it up was too much hassle. Which video editing software are you using? I want something that it quick and simple to use. I have...

    Redshift EX videos

    This looks like Arizona with a mini Grand Canyon, LOL! Except people actually live there.

    Redshift EX videos

    Cool videos! I like your phone mount. When trail riding I always thought it would be nice to have a cell phone with the GPS in front of me. Perhaps with music too! :-)

    Which maps are for what? (MX, MXR, EX)

    I think rolling the throttle forward could be programmed to increase the engine braking. And at very low speeds it can also be used to move the bike in reverse.

    Re-springing a 2017 Alta Redshift MX (and then revalving too)

    Thanks for the question. It is a good topic, so I thought I'd create a new thread for the KYB SSS conversion: http://altaownersforum.com/threads/installing-the-kyb-sss-fork-on-the-alta-redshift.51/#post-188

    Installing the KYB SSS fork on the Alta Redshift

    Making a new thread for KYB SSS fans: After I revalved the fork to the specifications that Alta had developed I am now very happy with the original revalved fork. But if you want to try a KYB SSS setup on your Alta, then there are a couple of ways of doing it: Method 1: Buy a KYB SSS...

    Gear oil change

    Grr... I bought the oil but haven't changed it yet. Contributing to my procrastination was a YouTube video of one of the top Alta guys claiming that the gear oil "almost never needs to be changed", or something like this. Thank you for the reminder. I'd rather stay on the cautious side and...

    Which maps are for what? (MX, MXR, EX)

    There are limitless customization opportunities with all the spare buttons and controls that Alta has. The throttle rolling forward is another one. But right now I suspect Alta is rushing to sell all the MXRs that people have ordered. The bikes are already excellent as-is, which means new...

    Which maps are for what? (MX, MXR, EX)

    I have uploaded the Owner's Manual and three Quick Start Guides for the MX, SM, and EX models under the "Resources" menu. This is all the information that Alta seems to have for the owners at this time. From the Redshift MX 2017 Quick Start Guide (definitely an outdated version): From the...

    Redshift MX, EX, SM Quick Start Guides

    After the late 2017 software update, this map information is not current. The guides are still useful though, for reference.
