Stark should just send you a brand new bike. Those nimrod mechanics likely caused some problem. Stark can't expect customers to deal with their incompetent dealer and then play whack-a-mole with troubleshooting and rebuilding the bike a part at a time. Enough is enough. If I were you, if...

Nice!! And thanks for all the info. Was the stock kickstand double sprung? My first Varg came with the kickstand but with my second Varg the dealer didn't have the stock kickstand in stock so he gave me a side stand for the interim and I never returned to pick up the stock stand --it was...

Where do you attach the second spring? The video I saw only used one. Does your stand have 2 spring mount points?

@Erwin P did you Xitomer kickstand come with 2 springs? Mine did I used the heavier spring.

arggh. Thanks.

"Power Condoms" and "Fairy Handguards" :ROFLMAO:fall into the arena of Euro clever... So many years of KTM leaks, broken off junk, and useless noodles. It a cultural thing, goes back further than Maico and Bultaco. Its like the world according to Audi... The first kickstand on the MX1... oh my...

Ya many of us got only 2 or 3 rides out of them if lucky. I switched to standard IRC heavy duty tubes and they have been great. I run the stock tires down to 6.5-8 psi. They don't like it but no flats even in the hard gnarl. I am switching over to IRC JX8s but I have ground the shit out of the...

I use crawl and reverse crawl a ton. It is a little jerky but in tough get offs on steep inclines it has saved me, especially the locking. I have noticed that if there is an obstacle like a log or rock it can sometime need human assist which I hope is improved in the next drop. And loading a...

100% correct. Also, it is often difficult for QA to replicate the wild 100%. Plus, in much of current software culture a lot of traditional hands on QA is no longer done. Automated QA and Developers creating unit tests that are migrated to QA test suites has become common and this IMHO pushes...

I think they use a racist AI algorithm that determines if you have too many vowels in your name to be of northern European decent. Therefore Swedes go to the head of the update list and Spaniards go to the end of the line, ironically even though the bike is made in Spain. Well AI even thinks the...

I guess it depends where you live in Canada. But would it be possible to have it delivered to a "friend" over the border? Not sure how it works with border crossing and where it has to be assembled?

Agreed. Instead of singing or dancing I could play guitar like Paco and give you some free tickets so you could afford to buy your new EX 1.2... :cool: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I guess the only upgrade path is to buy a new bike every few years.

Ya shit in equals shit out. Artificial google is no different than actual google. Its crap whether manually cut & pasted from some reddit post or if a dumb machine does the cut & paste.

Stark might be able to get better pricing from one of the mainland manufacturers. Molicel is based in Taiwan iirc.
