I seriously doubt that Alta would withhold the software and tools us "early investors/adopters" need to keep these bikes going for many years. I just don't get that vibe from the company and its former employees.
Updated settings as I've been training rough tracks in prep for the Vet World Championships at Glen Helen next weekend. Rough tracks really put into perspective how under damped the stock suspension is for MX.

Thanks for the feedback. Still kinda battling the front end vagueness with the AER48 that i was battling with the Showa SFF Tac forks on my KX450F. Stock vs stock, the AER48 is much better in the stiction department, but nothing like the basic open chamber coil spring forks on my KX125.
Just curious if anyone has swapped over to SKF oil/dust seals on the AER48 and if less stiction was noticed? I did a full SKF Glide kit on the Showa SFF TAC forks on my KX450F and it made a huge difference in initial plushness by dramatically reducing stiction.
Its quieter than a 4-stroke dirtbike but i still prefer to place is on the opposite side of my truck to where i'm sitting so that the truck blocks some of the noise. I can still have conversations with people with a slightly elevated voice. Its acceptable in my opinion.
I'm running the Predator 4000, as well, which is actually only 3200 running watts. It works fine for me with the rapid charger at the track. You shouldn't have a problem with the 6500.
I called my dealer today asking about the parts I ordered back on the day the news broke. The order is still sitting in "Pending Approval" status. Not looking good. I'd imagine there is no one in the parts/shipping department at Alta right now.
Just for funsies, I was tooling around on some MTB single track last night with the MXR and ran across a bunch of hardcore MTB riders. They approved. :cool:
