![]() ![]() Options i have are : A-Kit set up from KYB for the KTM - Ohlins the same. They don't come up over here for sale second hand and new is crazy money, so might need to ask for some help there for a good second hand set in the right bend/sweep for me. So to be able to keep riding I need the best suspension i can get along with some Fasst Flexx bars to help me be able to carry on (seen Philip's FF's with the cut out in the bar pad - cool!). Also its looking like yet another Hip operation soon (got injections in my wrists and one coming up in my Hip on the 24th but that's a knock out job and day surgery). Mainly because I need a suspension that's working with me in the best possible way, my "metal wrist" with plates and screws is Arthritis filled now and even doing the dishes is painful, let alone riding moto's!. Now, on a side note I am looking into full suspension swap out as said, the AER on the MXR is a pain and have been researching on here reading others frustrations and solutions and elsewhere too for the best set up i can buy or work towards, I am looking to buy a complete kit not just mess about with internals, I simply don't have that time available like others on here - just remove and replace with some fine tuning at the track. If i sorted the suspension out on the MXR it would be a better bike for me? - not sure after riding the MX. handled so well for that "crappy old dated 4CS" set up that they had on the MX's too, trust me i am not at all into suspension or really understand it all but i really enjoyed riding that "old" Alta with crap suspension. I loved that i don't have to mess about with that bloody awful Air pump and have that harshness of the AER set up that the MXR has. honestly i am not sure why it is?, same firmware as my MXR, but it sure is.like man, that's quick - quick!. This bike is quick!, and that's coming from a 19' MXR owner. Got her ready after doing the above bits and a gear oil change and coolant check, final check then went to test. Apart from never being washed/cleaned under it all was a very nice bike, some things needed looking at like the bolts had fallen out that hold the water pump up, rear brake pedal bolt was a little messed up from working loose and not being re-tightened, fork clamps were a little notchy on turning the bars, and some of the little brass inserts had pulled out of the rear sub/mudguard (fender). ![]() The MX (In its MXR plastics and graphics, & a few little MXR upgrades here and there) has only 44hrs on it and was owned by a guy who had his own track on his land, very easy life indeed and the man was a pleasure to meet and deal with too. back in 2018.after he finished well on it in the indoor Arenacross series. See what's what and to wonder did i miss anything by not buying a 2017 MX when i had the chance from Alfie over here in the U.K. I wanted to be able to feel the differences in both bikes. So as a few will know i have a 2019 MXR (That's going to be for sale soon, more on that to come) and have enjoyed every single hour on it (only 11.4!).īut when the opportunity to buy a MX came up, I did just that. OK, thought i would share my latest purchase, with all the Stark threads and some negativity seeming to be creeping into this site, thought it would be nice to see some good "old fashioned" Alta stuff. ![]()
