Dirtbikes are like flyshit to Honda though. And the only real market that matters to them is the American market and that E market is extremely limited and largely hostile to E. Honda will let others eat the cost of innovation and market establishment if there is one. My guess is that they are...

I think both brands are good. Both Jackery and Bluetti are well known and reputable. I have an EcoFlow Delta Pro 3.6kw and 2 Anker Solix 1000s 1.8kw. I have been pleased with both brands, they are all pretty competitive a lot comes down to features and price. I got a great deal on the Ankers...

Yes maybe they would cover the bottom not sure. The real difference is the coverage of the side of the battery --at least for me-- which is very exposed. Since I don't have my previous Stark any longer I can't send a pic (the thieves got the broken battery fins) but the extended side of the...

Will Stark warranty a battery damaged in use? I thought it covered defects and workmanship? I would find it very surprising if they replaced a battery obviously damaged in use like a rock cracking the magnesium. Maybe I should go back and read that warranty, I didn't think it was unlimited...

Foam could be installed I think. In fact, a thin piece of foam is included on the bottom of the AXP plate. The AXP is much much thicker plastic so the trade off is increased coverage and stronger plastic for shock resistance vs less coverage with thin plastic and foam for shock resistance...

I don't have a problem with the stock plate itself and its good padding. But coverage of the battery, linkage, and other under parts is not too good off of dead center. I would have stuck with OEM but the broken fins were a warning for me at least. I did come down on angle in rock garden, and...

I use the AXP after breaking fins off the battery in rocky terrain with the stock skidplate. Slavens Racing recommends either the AXP of the Molecule for HE.

My 2014 WR450F would boil the gas during normal use stock from the factory until I added a cooling fan. The way I found about it was I parked my bike in the garage after a ride and went to my work room and when I came back to the garage my 8 year old son asked my what was the sound my bike was...

Ya. Now that the market is established and the innovation sells it would be great if the Chinese swooped in and bought the whole kit and kaboodle. Could you imagine a Stark Varg with much better range and $4000.00 dollars cheaper and more reliable build quality. Fucking politicians.

They were probably out of replacement parts and took a production one off the line so the customer didn't have to wait.

Not for me I have a solar panel and I charge a battery power station and charge my bike off of them. I rode from last Spring till now every other weekend off pure solar. Now that we are moving into fall I am using a little grid + solar. Because I use portable panel and I live in a condo it is...

Don't understand why Stark would give him a new bike. They should have presented him with a runner up Darwin award and better luck next time.

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...

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...

Yes the worry is that it seems to change settings that could effect the bike with no indication to the rider. Given what @vic321 said about the lock feature and what happened to him --I wouldn't use that feature and I would definitely disable the sim. I have an MX-1 so my bike gets less public...
