:ROFLMAO: Here all our AI guys like Altman are like used car salespeople so I am always skeptical of their compliments. I prefer hot flim flam like Elizabeth Holmes or Charlie Javice that I can fall for...:cool:

Yes agreed. No I am not a bot just an engineer, I think my ex accused me of being a bot though... :) Somethings we can't even have without insurance here. For example for most mortgages you need homeowner's insurance and in Massachusetts you have to buy auto insurance or you can't register...

The Stark video on coolant bleeding looks similar to pink 50/50 Zerex. What are folks using? In my ICE bikes I have always used something like Engine Ice.

Insurance policies always favor the insurer. If the risk of utilization of the warranty protection were high, and say, the product was susceptible to defects it would not be profitable to offer an extended warranty. Yes there is a percentage of folks who do benefit from these types of extensions...

Right. You are headed home after a brutal day of hard enduro low on battery and you have one last brutal ledgey hill climb with tight fall offs till done... and you crash and you are using crawl to save your ass... And right at the precarious point bike shuts down. That is my luck at least.

When you say logged you off do you mean the app right? Your bike was usable in any case wasn't it? You'd be without indications but your bike would work unless the EX operates differently than the MX.

Well thanks for posting in any case. It seemed to coincide with the outage so it was a worry.

The notice from Stark indicated that this impacted the app not the bike itself. So the bike itself should be operational without connectivity. And in fact my bike was stolen and Stark told me they need connectivity to disable the bike and it would still operational for the thieves if it was...

I don't run out of battery . I ride my bike in mostly trail, slow gnarl, and hard enduro typically 4 hours or less. I am not a fast MX track guy like you anymore.:)

Interesting and good to know. That is a spot that collects load of dirt and mud too.

I don't see regen like that. I see it more like the mass of a 4T and can be useful energy that is reclaimed and used for control like engine braking. All the energy in dragging a parking brake is lost to heat with no useful work or (re)storage.

100% Agree. Also I am sure @markhamr is way faster than me.

What are you using for regen? Are you riding it like a 2T? If so, tune it more like a 4T.

It is nice to know the E auto industry has found work for former Chevy Vega engineers. It must be a special thing to design something that won't work within the normal operating ranges encountered by users and then fully inform buyers of it almost 10 years later. This likely helps sustain the...

That is weird. I wash my bike Varg MX1 with a powerwasher (my only choice) and have never had a problem with water invasion. There were some reports of Starks being locked out by the factory for issues with titles/ownership. The do get locked if theft is reported. The bikes will power on like...
