Thanks for uploading the file.
As I sit here & peruse the manual while enjoying some particularly good rum .. a few things are of interest.

Warranty. Two years, hooray ! , that's certainly never been done before for a dirt bike.
The thing is though, under the section 'does not cover' you'll notice the following ; (vi) vehicles that have been used in sporting official competition or have been used in rental services or for commercial purposes.
What exactly is ; 'sporting official competition' ?
Any amateur race of any kind, or just sanctioned professional events ? Kind of an important distinction warranty wise for many buyers.

Washing the bike.
From the Stark website ; " For cleaning, we recommend using a power washer. " - In the FAQ section.
From the manual ; Do not use a high pressure cleaner. Water coming from a high-pressure hose can cause damage to the bearings of your motorcycle. Water can also get into the electrical wiring, which can lead to short-circuits in the electrical system.
So yeah ..

In the manual, pg 32 ; recommended operational & storage ranges.
• Temperature: 0 to + 25 °C 32 to 77 °F
• Humidity: 0 - 60%
Seriously ? Surely 'recommended' is to be taken with several grains of salt - maybe the whole bottle.

In all fairness, it is just the initial version of an owners manual by a manufacturer who has never had occasion to produce one .. so it's likely I'm being far too obsessive & critical while consuming info on 'all things Stark Varg' as I wait on mine to be delivered.

As of right now I either need an electric blanket or I will need to bring the entire bike indoors during the cold wi winters.

Nice manual. It would be about half the length if they got rid of the "Danger this may cause serious injury or death" warning labels! LOL.

Was hoping to learn more about the functionality of the app on the phone?

Also I didn't see mention of this "other method of starting" that has been eluded to in previous videos...

In reviewing the Owners Manual I did not see a reference to a recommended Sag settings/adjustment with or without rider weight. What does Stark recommend for these Sag settings?

Also noticed the "Technical Lifespan" being spec'd at 500 hours. I thought that I heard somewhere that the battery would be good for 1000 hours? (>80% SOC)
