    Owner's Review Redshift MXR owners ride review

    That largely has to do with the fact that the Redshift has a slightly lower ground clearance than most MX bikes. You have to lift it higher to get it up on a center stand.

    Owner's Review Redshift MXR owners ride review

    Excellent review! Thank you, Steve! Looking very good on that MXR! Two American flags in the back, and you throwing roost! :cool: Wow, Alta will take your standard charger back when the Rapid one arrives? Very nice!!! I am then doubly impressed that you were able to charge the bike with your...

    New MX-R

    I just compared the throttles on my old MX and my new MXR. They appear to be the same. Measured the angular travel -- exactly the same. What I am hoping for is that, with 25% more available power, the end result will be that the MXR throttle will feel 25% quicker.

    Upgraded to Redshift MXR (Spoiler Alert: Steve, do not look)!

    I am jealous! It will be raining heavily here for the entire weekend, all local tracks are closed. Two weeks from now Championship Powersports (a northwest Ohio dealer) will have a demo day at the MX Express track. No gas will be allowed that day, but the track said I am invited!

    Does anyone have a PDF manual for the WP AER Fork?

    The bike came with nothing, not even an air pump. Air forks are new to me. Yesterday I located one Schrader valve, one compression clicker, and today I found one rebound clicker hidden behind a rubber plug. There was a note attached to the bike that the fork air pressure was set to 154 psi...

    Congrats, Fod and buddy!!! That also was my first impression with jumping in Map 2. You are simply not prepared for the rear wheel to stop while you are up in the air. It is much easier to start in Map 3. But if the jump is long enough, then Map 3 will pull your front end down as well...

    I actually prefer the custom graphics kit on my MX. The stock MXR certainly looks better than the stock MX, but after being used to seeing all those fenders and shrouds "tattooed" with different labels, I think I will be missing that. I want to get a graphics kit for my MXR. I certainly want...

    SXS Skidplate/Slideplate

    I bought my SXS skid plate a month ago from Elite Motorsports, but I haven't installed it yet. It was sitting and waiting for me in Michigan.

    They took a long time to count the $12K+ in cash that I brought. Even had to file a terrorist paperwork to the FBI. The time stamp on that post was 5:51pm. Maybe you beat you by 1 minute, there is no telling. We need a photo finish -- more photos! They did not have the Rapid charger, so I...

    Yay!!! Looks just like mine! The time stamp on my photo is 5:17pm EST. I signed the paperwork after that. After that and drove home. I rode it for a few minutes in my backyard track. Did you get to ride yours yet?
