In 1400 miles, I somehow wore out my front and rear brakes - I tend to use my brakes a decent amount while trail riding. I knew there were KTM bikes that used the same brake pads, but wasn't having much luck on getting confirmation on what to order. I ordered these brake pads from Amazon and...

I received the new phone holder and installed it. As I expected, that fixed everything. I took her out for a thorough beating today, and I sure missed her! My backup bike these days is a KTM Freeride, which isn't a bad bike, but it is not comparable to the Varg. I made it through the whole ride...

When you plug in the non-integrated signals/lights, the integrated lights stop working by design. The rear integrated lights are very dim, it can be hard to even see the turn signals in that little light piece, and the brake light is barely brighter than the running light. The brake micro...

You don't happen to have a wiring diagram, do you? I tried to find one but had no luck.

Yah, my last problem was the bike wouldn't charge. They sent me a new charger, but by the time it got here, the bike decided to start charging again. I think that one was just a software glitch - never had another problem with it. But it can't be cheap shipping all that stuff back and forth

My EX has been down for going on 5 weeks now. I rode it on a Friday, had no problems. Charged it the next day and went to go load it to go riding again and the bike would not turn on. I could hear the contacts close and the water pump would turn on, but the LED was off. The dash would come on...

Haven't been riding the bike much lately because of a weird computer problem, which I'll probably post about soon. But either way, went to move the bike this morning and had no rear brake at all and my usual trick to get it working again wasn't working. I was needing to do brake pads anyway, so...

I was a bit suspicious the premise of this thread was questionable - that higher gearing on an electric motor would lead to higher efficiency. That makes perfect sense on a gas engine, because more load = higher efficiency on a gas engine. That isn't how electric motors tend to work. I haven't...

I don't blame people for doubting me, but here is a screen shot - this is for a year of insurance. 50 y/o, clean record. I said $35, but forgot that was for 9 months when I originally started the insurance.

I don't think there is air in the system, because if that were the case, pushing the caliper pistons in wouldn't do anything - that wouldn't get rid of the air in the system. I think the problem has to do with the brake pads. Something like mud is getting behind the pads, causing them to not...

Glad to see Stark is making things right. Many many companies wouldn't have made this much effort for your situation. Most likely the shop messed up your bike, and that is an unfortunate aspect to their dealership model - there is very little incentive for good shops to support their product...

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but it is weird. I didn't have this problem until the rainy season started. I get done riding. I park the bike and everything is working fine. 5 days later I go to load the bike to head out to the ORV park, and my brakes act like they have air in the...

Progressive took a long time to give me a number, but they eventually offered me full coverage for $35 a year. That was pretty close to what I was getting for my Zero FX, which I think was $40 a year. So you might want to check with them - I don't know why they are so cheap, but I'm not complaining!

I'm greedy. 1. 40hp/20% regen 2. 50hp/70% regen 3. 60hp/70% regen 4. 80hp/0% regen 5. 80hp/100% regen 4 and 5 are pretty much just for street riding with street tires, although I do use them now and then when entering and leaving the ORV parking lot, just to show off. 2 and 3 are for trail...

Exactly my conclusion also. If you could change actual throttle mapping, I would have kept it, but without that, it is mostly useless
