"This year, Red Bull Straight Rhythm promoters made a big change to exclude all four-stroke engines, leaving only 2-strokes and electric motorcycles to compete." What ??? o_O They mean excluded 4-stroked from the 2-stroke class, right? Else there will be only like ~10 bikes there, LOL.

Found it, finally. Bought them at MotoSport.com Motosport Clamping Wheel Chock | MotoSport I first bought two from MotoSport, but then bought the third one somewhere else. The third wheelchock was crap. Thinner metal, rivets instead of bolts, and crooked welds. Do not buy them anywhere else...

The app store is 10-15 years ahead of where Alta is right now. Alta needs to invent the iPhone first and then the app store. Then maybe someone (probably not Alta) will write a traction control software that works everywhere. Else, it would probably take 10 years to write a traction control...

I know what could help us get more racers. Your dealer needs to sell more Altas!

Did they come off of your totaled 1290 Adventure R? I just looked up your destroyed bike's photo and the footpeg is missing. Pegs this big work very well on big and wide adventure bikes. They help you muscle these fat pigs around, giving you more leverage. On a narrow and light-feeling Alta I...

Look at this as an opportunity to step up to at least a B-rider's level!

You wouldn't be able to do burnouts on the SM, or prevent endoing on a jump on the MX, if the wheelspin was limited to just 15% over the bike's speed. I do like the traction in Map 1 when climbing the uphills. We do want more maps though. You can't holeshot in Map 1, or climb steep and fast...

I like it! Looks very clean and sharp!

Mike, could you please educate us what makes Ohlins shocks and forks magic, or better than a properly valved KYB/Showa/WP? FYI, I have an Ohlins suspension of my car. It works well, but I do not know if I would call it magic. What makes you call it that?

Fog, what fork pressure do you run?

For my 200 lbs weight I like the stock 60N spring for ride and handling. But I will be trying the 63N spring if I want more confidence when jumping, I have one left over from my MX. There are MX owners here who have 63N springs lying around, so you can save a few bucks by buying a used stock...

:eek: I'd recommend trying the 63N/mm (6.4kg/mm) first. You are a little heavier than Fog but probably not faster, are you?

I think the Alta's motion ratio is different from the KX, and you weigh 50lbs more than the Alta's target rider. You can compensate by riding slower, but I do not know if this is what you want to do. It is too soft for motocross, especially if you are a jumper. But should be okay for trail riding.

It is a bit too soft for you.

I did! :p 125, 250 and 500 (actually 380).

Joey spills the beans @3:08!

Most 4-strokes have had this form of traction control for a long-long time. They didn't advertise it though because it was against the AMA rules. I used to work in ALMS back in ~2005. They just started allowing traction control there, and all of a sudden many cars started making weird noises...

Welcome, Joe! You may have to run the A/C and all the fans, if you also run it inside the RV. :D

You could probably install it on the MXR with the MX linkage, but I wouldn't do it. Maybe @Mark911 could pitch in, in case he is using the same shock. He is using a KTM linkage on his MX.

Brand new pegs look just like this too. The OEM pegs are never overly sharp, perhaps not to have customers complaining that their boots get worn prematurely. The grip vs. the boot wear is always a compromise.
