You should sell those at the Stark store way better than that axe... :ROFLMAO:

It is not the new tires as maintenance but different tires regarding traction. Much depends on use case and rider.

I am running an IRC JX8 rear and IRC ix09 front gummies maybe 5x better than for what I do. I tinker if I have to and the gain is the worth pain. Tires are a winner for me too.

I try not to ride with other people, I have private land I have permission on and the owners are very happy that I am on electric with no complaining nosy Nancys. I told an owner I ran into last week that I now use an electric chainsaw since to clear trails since the police have been called for...

Agreed. Better for your health to lose a kilo or 2 by working out and improving diet than wasting the hard earned on bolts. Plus, it will help more in moto or HE to be fitter.

Agreed. Tire balance would be the first place I would look.

I finally got tired of the overheating and added a trail tech aftermarket fan. Added a little more weight but was worth it.

That's an awesome vid but I don't consider that hard gnarl. That is WOT high speed XC ass kick desert gnarl. Ya for that a Stark is the wrong tool.

I no longer own YZ450s they were my goto from 2013-2019. Also owned multiple yz250fs from the earliest 2001. Also owned a few RMs and CRFs over that period as well. But I don't ride on tracks much any longer. Still own a WR450f and a KTM 300 2T. I have a pretty good handle on the strengths and...

Yes you do. She is a smoking hot Stark. Hopefully she won't be a finicky bitch and give you many nice sweet rides...:ROFLMAO:

When most of those 450s are used as trail bikes or almost anything off the MX track, they become far more finicky than the Stark and just as heavy. Plus, they overheat spit coolant all over the place and can be like riding an overheated crotch rocket.

Very cool!!!🙏

Those aren't really comparable bikes though. No offense but I am riding the Stark 8 days a week compared to older bikes. Add e-start of that era to your 92 Yam and it will get fatter quickly --though your right leg will probably be noticeably weaker... :) A 2026 300XCW gets you to almost 250...

Compared to other ICE brands that I ride specifically Yamaha and KTM, my Stark MX-1s have been just as good or better across all metrics of reliability and quality of construction and etc. Including the phone. Both my WR450 and my 300xc-w have their share of shall we say "design issues" and...

I have owned 2 later model MX-1s ones with the Blackview phone and have had zero issues with the phones or connectivity (outside of normal shitty bluetooth). And besides a couple of mishaps where I didn't make sure the phone was solid in the holder (it flew out in the gnarl) I have had pretty...
