    Connecting multiple batteries together

    Here are some odd battery facts that I learned today: According to batterystuff.com: "To join batteries in parallel, use a jumper wire to connect both the positive terminals, and another jumper wire to connect both the negative terminals of both batteries to each other. Negative to negative...

    Hill climbing during our camping trip....

    Love the looks of this old-school Bell helmet! It's a classic. (y) What?!! They must really want you to skip two-three years, or more. Grrr.... Great pics and videos! Thank you.

    2018 MXR - LACC Springhill race report

    Oh, sorry @CK696 , I almost forgot to un-confuse you! o_O According to your measurements, Alta has about ~1" lower ground clearance. Ignore the 5mm difference in rear sags and 18" vs. 19" wheels. We will assume the sags are set the same, and both bikes are sitting on the ground with fully...

    Alta Redshift ST concept

    Alta's factory team raced a few flat track and (I think) supermoto events. They won the first one that they entered, and did well in others. There are Youtube videos of dominating performance on ice as well. Derek Dorresteyn, the Alta's CTO, is a former flat track racer. He wanted to built a...

    Decal Kits for the Alta

    There are "lady bumps" there. Need to hug them properly, else there will be creases.

    Alta Redshift ST concept

    Ouch! The right footpeg and the rear brake relocation. The first tip-over and the rear brake will be gone, and the $500-dollar motor housing tab will be broken off.

    The Alta Factory LHRB

    Yep, a big syringe with a hose attached to the caliper bleeder screw. I also wrap Teflon tape around the screw threads. Fill everything from the bottom. Rekluse kits come with a syringe, so I had one lying around.

    Adding a Build Section to the Forum?

    Good idea, if we can get enough threads with people showing and telling everything that they have done: mods, upgrades, changes, etc... What do you think the name of this sub-forum should be? Builds? Mods? Please PM me the links to the forums where you see such a sub-forum working well, I want...

    Gear noise while rolling.

    I wonder it adding Redline ShockProof Heavy would make a noticeable difference. I might try.

    Poll - which Redshift model do you own?

    You have to be in Mode 4 to tell. The power in modes 1, 2 and 3 is the same. At least between the MX and the MXR.

    2018 MXR - LACC Springhill race report

    The rear sag is adjustable, just like the fork springs preload. You have to equalize something, like assuming the two bikes have the same rebound travel. Assuming the ground clearances are the same is incorrect (because I used to own a 2015 Husky TC250, which had the same frame as your KTM, and...
