    My first love

    I had bikes before, but that was just sex. But with this bike I had a real relationship. We spent a lot of quality time together and won many trophies. After I got a hot new 2000 YZ250, and injured my knee on it, I was out for 12 years. Then I decided to rehabilitate my knee and go back to...

    Drag Racing MX vs MXR

    Does anyone know good Dyno motorcycle capable shops in the SW Michigan or in the northern Ohio? It would be great to also throw a stock 250SXF on that same Dyno as well. And a 250cc 2-stroke.

    Drag Racing MX vs MXR

    Alta says my order qualifies me for a free standard charger. They just need to work it out with the dealer who says he paid for it. Perhaps I should raise the price on my 2017 MX to $11,995.

    The Quietest MX track day ever!

    The three 240V generators by the Alta tent were the loudest.

    Drag Racing MX vs MXR

    It appears that the MXR has (almost) the same horsepower as the MX. Either that, of my 2017 MX accidentally got flashed with a secret 50hp map at the factory. The MXR in the video was brand new (Jeremy from OH is the owner, he bought it today). Also, my own MXR feels about the same as my MX.

    Coolant pump

    If it starts to sound louder, check the coolant level. https://altaownersforum.com/threads/low-coolant-in-new-mxr.78/

    2017 vs. 2018 Battery Packs (differences?)

    The (not totally) unexpected conclusion that we reached today was that the MX and the MXR have the exact same power. If there is any difference at all, then it can be easily eclipsed by the rider right wrist's throttle twisting skill. I will be posting a video soon. Just need to learn how to...

    2017 vs. 2018 Battery Packs (differences?)

    I can confirm that even at the track the MXR does not last any longer. I could do exactly 3 practice sessions on either bike. Logically, with the same battery capacity, but with the reported ability to discharge quicker and throw more roost (waste power), the MXR should last shorter. Battery...

    Single tracks with the Redshift EX!

    LOL! Stay away from big rocks! Was that rock also bigger than the bike's ground clearance?

    digiNow SuperChargers for Altas - Interest Check

    And we have a few Alta people here who might be able to help us. Rapid chargers are on a worldwide backorder, but Alta still wants to keep selling bikes, and those need to come with chargers. So, perhaps they would be very interested, if your product is a viable option. They might even want to...

    digiNow SuperChargers for Altas - Interest Check

    Thank you for your post, Morgan. I talked to Brandon before but he likes to go into such technical details that I didn't even understand what he was offering. Now I do! The Alta Redshift battery is rated at 5.8 kWh. With your 3.3 kW charger, it should be possible to charge it in 1:45 hours...

    Battery Technology and Best practice battery care

    Damn. I already started dreaming of a 500-horsepower MXR-R that charges faster than I can rest.

    Battery Technology and Best practice battery care

    Someone who would like to remain anonymous (@Vagus) said that the Toshiba SCiB battery could be our next hot ticket. Apparently, it could triple the current range of systems based on the 18650 cells. And it can recharge to 80% in just 6 minutes...
