Somebody please post how to correctly charge a Stark.
Connection sequence
Control switch lights
Disconnect sequence
Does it stop charging when it reaches 100%?
Anything else you can think of

For the MX-1, I am not sure about EX or MX-2 and I only use the 120 charge:

Use the standard charger included in the stand that comes with the bike
Generally nothing will happen until you power the bike on, so connect everything then power on the bike and it will detect the charger and go to blue led (on the mx-1 at least)
Blue will stay on until charged or you unplug the charger you can monitor with the phone and change some limits if you like
Bike will go to idle mode (flashing red on mx-1) you can power it down before you disconnect
It is a pretty smart system and is hard to screw up

I've only charged my EX once so far and I disconnected the charger when it reached 100% but light was still blue. I should have waited until the light turned red? Will it overcharge if you don't disconnect the charger as soon as it gets to 100
%? Just got the bike and don't want to screw it up. Thanks for the help.

With the MX-1 there are inaccuracies with the phone vs the charger so probably the same with EX, I wouldn't worry about it too much it is a smart system.

Also, I should have mentioned that generally I never charge my bike past 95% and I don't let it drain below 15%. My understanding is that the chargers are smart chargers and prevent over charging but I try to stay on the extra safe side. The MX-1 was first gen and there were a few bugs and etc.

Congrats on the new bike btw!! I love my MX-1 and I am sure you will love your new EX.
