I rarely thrown away old inner tubes. Usually they get cut into rubber bands. It should be even possible to keep that rubber band nearby. Either on the front brake lever, or somewhere not far away, in case it is needed. I use a heavy-duty velcro tie when I transport heavy bikes in my van...

Thank you, Fog. I considered sending my suspension to shops that already got good reviews, but I have some history with and loyalty to Kreft Moto. They just finished tuning an MXR that someone left with them. The engineer in me would also be kicking himself if I do not try out their Revalve...

Perhaps you're right. I need to try to do it manually one more time. There is surely a lot of room around this shock. I just though if I make it easier to do, I would be doing it more often. With the possibility of changing the fork's air pressure easily, it wouldn't hurt to play with the rear...

I am going to get an Xtrig rear spring preload adjuster when I revalve my MXR suspension. Then I will be able to play with the rear sag and the front pressure. Right now the damping is so far off that playing with minor spring adjustments is pointless.

I should perhaps start checking it every once in a while. I do not yet have a favorite pressure setting, so it is kinda pointless for me to set it to some target. But knowing what pressure works for what track is valuable.

Tubliss (not tubeless) uses an inner bicycle tire with tube inside the main tire. There are two valve stems per each wheel -- four chambers. So you'd need four TPMS sensors.

I am new to air forks, if I didn't count mountain bikes. I have never had one on my dirt bike before I got my MXR. I bought the MXR almost 3 months ago, but I haven't adjusted or even checked the pressure since the dealer set it when they unboxed the bike. The fork still seems fine, but I...

Tubeless is the way to go for most bikes. Pull that nail out, plug it up, pump up and you are good to go again. Saves at least half an hour and a lot of grunt and sweat on every flat repair. It helps to have TPMS though, at least on road bikes. It saves a lot of worry, periodic pressure...

I couldn't do that. I had a Rekluse clutch on it. But I used workarounds if I had to park it on a hill for a while -- an Allen key to release the Rekluse preload.

Nah. Nothing is as heavy to lift as a big KTM Adventure bike. I was able to lift this one two years ago, without scraping off all the plastic to rotate it. I may never be able to repeat that feat.

The pump keeps running to cool the battery and even out the internal heat that was caused by the charging. Let it do its job, if you are not in a hurry.

Man, you have so much patience and faith! Alta or your dealer should have also sent you a gold medal.

The brake pedal damper must be the Alta's solution to the touchy brakes and snappy throttle.

I have seen that green corner on my MXR once, after I turned the key off. I cycled the key once more and it disappeared.

I stuffed the new inverter under the driver's seat. The previous one was held there securely by rubber bands. The new one will need to have two 1/8" thick steel straps to hold it in place safely. I do not want my feet crushed by it in case of an accident.

The flux capacitor?

WOW! That's impressive. Did you think about starting an electric dirt bike company? If you had built and sold a few of those, we now could have been talking on a Steve Moto Owners Forum! ;)
