They get crazy hot. This is why these bulbs have the cooling fins and a fan.

Hurry up! I thought you were an Altaracer already!

I am sad to report that this week I sent the Kreft suspension back to be returned to stock. It did not work for me on the tracks that I like to ride and race. I do not want to bash Kreft, they are an innovative and high-quality company with a large fan base, but I not a fan of how their product...

Alta Podiums in Professional Hill Climb Debut Alta continues its assault on the racing status quo with a podium finish at the Third annual IRC Carnegie Classic Hill Climb in Tracy, CA. The off-road sport of hill climbing involves riders battling head-to-head up a steep, windy course, carved...

Actually, I once considered taking my KTM 1190R on a MX track and jumping a few table tops. Glad I didn't because this heavy and clumsy pig would have probably bent its upper shock mount and frame. So, this is the first time I saw a plated bike on a MX track.

Haha! Great job, @GT-117! I have not seen plated bikes on a motocross track before, this is awesome! :LOL::ROFLMAO:

It's strange that the shirt shows a road racers talking to a dirt bike. He isn't dressed properly. If I were the bike, I'd definitely throw him off.

Maybe you could have bent up that steel brackets where the two front fender bolts go?

Yep, except I never developed that clutch in up in the air reflex. If the front end gets too high I just tap the rear brake, who cares about not stalling the engine when you're about to die, LOL. Also, I had Rekluse clutches on my bikes for the last 3 years, so clutching in was not necessary. I...

Yes, a few guys here have done it, but you should search the forum because you might need aftermarket KTM triple clamps. Yes, exactly. I think adding two links should be enough. After adding the 14T sprocket, that would move your rear wheel just 5/16" back. Or you can start with four links and...

I have been running 110mm wide tires. I race motocross, and on hard jump landings the rear tire rubs against the "airbox" part of the rear fender. I added a couple of links to the chain to move the rear wheel 5/8" farther back, and that reduced the rubbing very significantly. The handling is not...

Ben is from MA. It would be a long but fun ride back, 40 miles at a time. Around the World in 80 days, Passepartout.

Have you tried Map 4 yet? That, and a 14T front sprocket, and your MX will have a linear power. No more goon throttle twisting.

To me it was one of the least satisfying motor vehicles that I owned. There were too many wrong things with it from its design -- to execution -- to performance. It prompted me to sell it before it would depreciate down to nothing and buy an Alta before there was a dealer in my own or any...

I had to Google this one because I did not understand what the assumptions had to be for this to be true. Does rate of acceleration affect the amount of energy used to accelerate? So, if we have no wheelspin, no rolling resistance, no aero drag, then yes, it would take the same amount of...

I doubt. But they soft of help you keep your leg pressed against the bike in corners, and bruise your knees if you are not wearing knee pads or knee braces.

@magatta likes his bikes naked. Stripped down my EX

I have to admit that I went thought the same vicious cycle, only quicker, because I have less self-control and the drug is very powerful. Bought and sold my 6.2kW Stealth Bomber in 2017, then bought and sold a 30kW Redshift MX, then bought a 40kW Redshift MXR. Now that the increased dose is not...

A smaller front sprocket will feel more like riding in the 1st gear where a second is needed. More wheelspin at low speed, then it will top out and become the same as before. You will still have only 37hp max, you will just waste more energy to wheelspin. There is no free lunch. If you need to...

Red But is usually deeply tilled and heavily watered for the Nationals. There is a lot of sand mixed into the dirt at Red Bud, so it was not unusually muddy for the racers. But the track looked extremely soft and fluffy this time, very deep but slick at the bottom, and the racers were saying...
