So much of this aftermarket "protection" is poorly designed and can do more harm than good look at some of the adventure bike stuff like scaffolding erected around the engine, seen one stuff a gusset through the crank cases before now but as ever it gets painted a bright colour has some catchy...

Amazed anyone is daft enough to think these carbon fiber or poly prop without the foam will be better than the stark one, I said it when I first saw them bling brigade out in force as ever! That foam stark use looks much like what out helmets are lined with try taking that out of your helmet and...

Could be more than 7.2 prototype cells etc could even have an extra bank of cells stashed on the bike, I bet stark have been desperate to increase range because a mx bike that can not complete a mx race is nothing short of perthetic. Doubt they would got much past half distance on our bikes.

I have been saying all this for a long time including the stark supported riders are getting next generation of battery cells, no doubt also used in starks battery range videos. All very underhanded but that is what I have come to expect of Stark.

Moto E that runs in the Moto GP championship is being dropped at the end of this year, Must say even I see the noise does add to the show just not great as local tracks get shut down for noise. Watching Moto E Qualifying yesterday one guy crashed on the second lap but his bike was put in a...

I almost went ahead but decided to read the terms and conditions. "Claim Limits: Each individual claim is limited to the motorcycle's original purchase price. The total value of all claims under the factory warranty and the Extended Warranty Plan cannot exceed the original purchase price. "...

Yes watched that earlier I can not see any Lanyard in use but I know thay used to make you have them fitted, EDIT Oh seems the rules have changed "Lanyard cut-outs MUST be fitted to all Quads, Sidecars and Grass bikes on throttle side. Road bike and Moto X classes WILL NOT require a lanyard...

I might be using the stark for a grasstrack event this week I have a lanyard that connects the 2 wires when pulled/activated any ideas how to make this work with the stark? I know Guy Martin used a stark at mablethorpe sand races where you also have to use a lanyard. Thanks Lee.

:LOL:Ha Ha. I have been and still are one of the bikes biggest critics, unreliable, breaks down all the time, stark dragging there heels to fix things, battery range etc etc and stand by that. When the stark does run Just not seeing that the bike is slow at all except if the race is long enough...

How do you arrive at slow? from what I have seen on a par with ice bikes if not a tad faster, more than enough power for most. Unreliable, not sure what is going to happen each time you turn it on or put it on charge yes but when it is running lap for lap with ICE not a lot in it.

Yes but pulling the clutch in quickly regains control and you can coast to a safe place, done it on 500 2 strokes on beach race mile long strights, not an option on a stark. Not much of a transmission to seize up ( 2 gears ) I assume it is the actual motor that locks up ?

So the ktm freeride E-xc battery...... "KTM's Freeride E battery has evolved from the early 2.6 kWh units in models like the 2014 E-Freeride and 2015 E to the larger 3.9 kWh, 260V batteries in the second-generation 2017/2018 and 2020 E-XC, offering improved range and power thanks to...

The freeride battery set up works quite well, 4 threaded rods and no plug just contacts, less chance of dropping dirt in the contacts. What bits are on the stark that allow the battery to be charged ? in other words could you get a gen 1 loom with charger plug and charge the battery or does it...

Talking to a friend who is big in to motocross here in the uk he says there was starting to get a few starks at events but hardly seen one recently, he thinks they have gone back to ICE bikes. Banned in Enduro.

Umm So chasing the BIG money riders to ride there bikes whilst they will not pay dealers to repair many broken starks under warranty leaving customers without a working bike, add the fiasco of getting people to pay for there EX's in full then making them wait until after they had given out...

I noticed at an enduro practice at the weekend there were ICE mx and enduro bikes and a stark EX on track in the distance I was suprised I could hear the stark in with the ice bikes, not saying it was louder just you could hear the different noise. There was a Stark MX and I could not even hear...

My Stark would do nothing no lights nothing, stark insisted I take it to a dealer so did, not knocking the dealer but this made a warranty claim even more painfull than just dealing with stark, just a way of stark stalling even more IMO. Anyway eventully they fitted a new VCU and got the bike...

As if warranty issues were not painfull enough.

That does look weak and poor design, no doubt. What pepole do tend to overlook is if you build a very strong footpeg and it gets a big hit it will take out the mount on the frame so instead of a few minutes changing a footpeg you then need to change that section of frame on the stark (this is...

"Funny thing is, in the early days Stark was giving out loaner bikes in some cases." Let me guess, But they were also breaking down and it was getting very embarrassing ?
