I got a chance to test out the EX and the EXR.

Both have a top speed of 75 mph (the dash says).

The EX and EXR suspension is way too soft. The EX has the 4CS fork that clunks when it tops out. The EXR has an Explor fork, which is much nicer. Still, too soft. The EX should come with the MX suspension, and the EXR should come with the MXR suspension from the factory. And the MX/MXR should be revalved with more damping.

The MXR suspension is the same as mine used to be, so I didn't ride the MXR.

I liked the EX/EXR seat! It is softer than the MX/MXR seat. I was tempted to switch seats, if someone allowed me, but then I realized that I would be sitting lower. I want to sit in the same place or higher. I think I will just buy some thin memory foam and try to add it on top of the stock foam. I want a wider, softer, and slightly taller seat.

You are right about the EX's fork clunking when topping out. Is it something I should be worried about, or that is how these 4CS shocks work?

 

[Philip]

I had that fork clunk on my MX too until I revalved my suspension and added damping. It don't think it is dangerous, but it certainly does not sound good, it does not feel good on you hands, and it sort of upsets the bike in whoops and sand rollers by kerning the front end down.

No clunking forks when topping out with my MX. Would oil level affect this?

No, it's the low-speed rebound damping that keeps it from clunking. Maybe your clickers are almost in, or you got a special one-off MX suspension that nobody else has!

I think we've established my MX is "special"...... first water pump failure, first broken motor case, longest time at the dealer..... three things no other MX can claim (to my knowledge)! LOL

If you'd like, we could establish an annual forum trophy for "The Most Special Alta". It could be a tie though between your most time at the dealer and most troubles, and @Mark911 's most customized and most expensive.

Hahahaha!
