    4CS fork oil levels?

    Yes, exactly. The MX stock suspension is too soft for motocross. The springs are barely stiff enough to support the bike's own weight during jump landings. But it is okay for trail riding. It shouldn't have been called MX, it should have been called EX. BTW, does the EX have the exact same...

    4CS fork oil levels?

    Alta sent me some MX suspension info earlier this year. They also sent me the stiffer MX shim stack specs for riders weighing more that 100 lbs. PM me your email address if you want that spreadsheet.

    4CS fork oil levels?

    The 4CS is filled not by volume but up to a level. The Alta 4CS oil level spec is 65mm from the top. You measure it with the spring removed and the fork fully bottomed out. The lower chamber needs to be filled completely full and then burped or bled. There are a couple of WP videos on...

    My Moto Van build thread

    I was lucky this month I got to use the huge RV garage that my AZ landlord rents separately. The guy who rented the RV garage won't be using it until January, so I got to use it! I have done some more electrical wiring work, mostly fixing the earlier mess. There is still a lot of work left in...

    Water in the rear subframe

    I have decided to tackle the filthy rear subframe problem on my new bike. This is where the water puddles after every pressure washing: All the large cavities have drain holes at the bottom. But none of the small ones do. The water and the dirt seem to collect mostly in the outer layer of...

    Mark said he sent me something experimental. I hope that means it is better, but I have nothing to compare it to. I might go ride it at night a little tomorrow.

    No, it is only a 10". It probably just looks bigger when someone else whips it out.

    Help needed to send parts to France

    USPS flat rate boxes and envelopes are the best deal when it comes to shipping internationally, if you can stuff your parts in them. But even regular boxes are still cheaper to ship than FedEx or UPS.

    Matt Sanders - Redshift EX (Alta Motors Video)

    Hahaha!!! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Congrats, Butch! That's not how I said it, but that was the idea. Now you will have to buy a two-bike hitch carrier for your Land Rover!

    Hot Foot Alta Redshift Front Chain Sliders are here!

    I think these are molded only 1-2 at a time. Ordering a large batch might be a little cheaper, but not significantly.

    Redshift EX around my neighborhood..

    You can go with Pirelli Scorpion MX 410 Rear Tire - 120/80-19. It seems to be a much better tire than Dunlop's MX12 with about 50% taller knobs. This is what all the Euros ran at this year's muddy MXoN to sweep the podium. Out of all Dunlop riders only Tomac jumped the Larocco's Leap a few...
