Again off the top of the head; could you locate the switch in a very inconvient spot such as between the aluminum frame members, above battery? In that way you could still get to it if needed but certainly could not accidentally be hit by you or things like vegetation brushing past. A reverse...

Thanks for the input. I was probably over thinking it, but was just wondering if the cell balance would be more important during storage or during the ride. It is such a fantastic motorcycle that any little advantage to prolong it's life is worth consideration.

My standard charging proceedure has been fully charge until it shuts off to balance the cells. Then I ride it on a loop that takes it down to about 75-80% charged and that is how I store it. My question is; is it better to do it that way and get the benifit of the balancing at the end of the...

Yes there is at least one or two on the shelf.

We try to take care of any Alta owners.

I mailed it this morning, tracking number will follow. Hope it gets there in time for your trip.

I pulled the parts tonight and packaged them up. My son will get them in the mail tomorrow. I asked him to send you the tracking number. Now don't crash before you get the protection installed Ha, Ha.

Got it - will check first thing tomorrow.

That doesn't sound right. PM me your contact info and order date/number and I will check into it for you.

Hey guys, I was over at Keith's yesterday, helping him complete a batch of Dirt Nappers, and had him pull out an AltaVault for a recently ordered EX. I asked how many he had left and he replied three. There is a finite number of EX/EXRs out there and quite a few people have opted to protect...

I remember that banner. Glenn suckered me into a test ride there too and I can home with the first of three Altas.

Steering Damper Post #10 - 18

You could try the unit that Ohlins have that presses into the steering head. The bearing then goes into the new piece and the front end assembles from there. I have had the Ohlins damper on my EXR for over a year now without any problems. I believe it was made for current KTM/Husky bikes.

I checked it when it was on for 50min. Great deal but I figured if I bought it (my fourth) my wife would kill me....and cause of death would be COVID.

I go old school on the front with a 90x90 Metzler Unicross with about 10-12psi. On the rear I have been using a Pirelli MT 16 120x100 with about 5-6psi. Both have the Tubliss system. I find the extra knob on the edge of the MT16 reduces the roost in off camber mud here in the East and the...

So I am not the only one that had to scurry about chasing those little guys in my shop. That is an excellent idea and I will be making up a couple sets for my EXRs. Thanks for the idea.

Doubtful it will make it back east, but I will keep an eye out for it just in case.

Damn - you would think we would be fairly safe in that there were so few produced. At least the odds are better that it will be spotted and recovered.

Oops. My bad. I glanced at it and read Mt St Helens in my brain. The rocks and terrain didn’t look right and it would be a tough climb on a bike. Teaches me to slowdown and read what is there. Looks like a great vista though.

Two years after it eruped my two sons and I climbed the back side to look down into the still hot crater. Is there now a trail to take a bike to the top? I never thought they would open it up to motorized vehicles. It is spectacular as you look out in all directions to see the other volcanoes...
