    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    Ty is there at 1:23 to 1:28, looking good. That's it, just 5 seconds. I think the guy right after him was Cody Webb, who broke his foot when he crashed there. Skip the 5-minute KTM electric race in the middle. Now we know who pays the bills there.

    Owner's Review Ten Hour Review

    Thanks for the tip, Fog! This rear tire clearance is one more thing to remember and to check every time a new tire is installed. I installed a 45-tooth rear sprocket at the same time as I installed this 110mm wide tire. I shortened the chain not by the expected 4 links but only by 2 links. So...

    Chain Slider failures

    I have a PSA: A little birdie (from Alta) told me "a 2012 KTM aftermarket slider might work". Which aftermarket manufacturer -- I do not know. Maybe Scott @Elite Motorsports would know? I also heard someone here on the board might have a 2013 model. It's worth checking.

    Ohlins steering damper fits nicely

    Throttle and brake at the same time? That's interesting. I have done that on ICE bikes, mostly mid-turn to gain more control over what the engine does. The Alta's engine offers a plenty of control, so I wasn't thinking about it mid-turn. But going over bumps... I will try that, thanks...

    What 30 minutes of charging looks like

    @allesad -- This is something you were wondering about.

    Chain Slider failures

    Some dirt bikes have parts that tend to fail in one way or another. But they do not offer warranties on their stuff. So you usually do not see long threads with complaints. Also, those bikes have been around for decades, so most known issues have been fixed. Alta offered some warranty on some...

    Chain Slider failures

    @MotoMinded also wanted to start making those.

    Chain Slider failures

    This is a solid advice, Ray. And I might eventually decide to do exactly that. There is but one problem with it though. Those Alta customers that didn't switch from Zero are not used to fixing up broken OEM parts, which should have been bulletproof from the factory! :mad: We are still...

    Water in the rear subframe

    @Mark911 -- Have you drilled holes there already?

    Off the throttle, drugging the rear brake.

    Chain Slider failures

    Well, a new Alta slider would only be good to sell the bike with, not use it. But at least we put Alta on notice to fix this crap. Let's hope either they improve their sliders on the aftermarket does it for them.

    Ohlins steering damper fits nicely

    I noticed than on the Alta I have to grip the bars much tighter when entering bumpy turns compared to other bikes. I wonder why that is. The possibilities are: 1) Front wheel caster trail too short; 2) Not enough steering friction; 3) The bike is heavy and it teeter-totters too much over...

    Holy 14T - Sweet Spot!

    The battery drains about the same as in Map 2. The most favorite part for me is that I no longer have to twist the throtte goon-style on straightaways or on jump faces when Maps 2 or 3 run out of steam.

    Water in the rear subframe

    Has anyone figured out yet where to drill a hole to allow all that water to drain? I washed my bike last weekend. At the track today, not dusty, not muddy, perfect. The bike is still clean, but the rear subframe looks like it has been through a mudhole. The water came out and picked up all the...

    Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

    LOL! Someone already has two Factory Edition MXRs there in the UK.

    Holy 14T - Sweet Spot!

    I am testing my MX today with a 12/45 gearing. Very nice, I like it a lot! In Map 4 the pull begins slightly better than my old (stock) favorite Map 2 but continues pulling harder and much-much longer!
