That was me. But, I made an appointment with CHP for the inspection. DMV employees won't be helpful. The officer that did the inspection was understanding and wrote in the engine part number I gave him. See this thread Certificate of Origin for DMV

I saw some youtube oil change videos of the Varg showing the same color. On mine, the oil change at 5 hours looked normal, almost new.

See above posts for how I got my green sticker. Share with your dealer, see what they say. My guess is they don't have the MCO in hand.

MCO arrived this week, took all my paperwork to the DMV. With the MCO and VIN verification done by CHP I was finally able to title it and get the CA green sticker!

Where have I heard that before.... check's in the mail, ok.

Same here. I've emailed Start support twice about the MCO and get no response. I bet this is the issue that caused them to stop sale in the US. You'd think you could have a few people in the US that should know a thing or two about regulatory requirements before you sell your product here.

Just got back from CHP and they signed off on the Reg31 (VIN verification). I took my invoice, the CARB letter, and bill of lading with me. Now just waiting for the MCO to arrive from Stark and I will take both docs to the DMV.

Exactly. The difference in CA is they make you title/register it before paying the OHV fee, creating all this complexity. It's been a while but in OR I recall they just wanted a VIN for the OHV sticker which makes it much simpler.

It's a bit convoluted, but it's in the CARB memo. My hope is I can talk to a reasonable person that will understand the intent. "Since zero emissions motorcycles are not powered by an engine, they meet the same under 50 cc exemption from CARB certification. Again, US EPA issues a CoC for zero...

Also received an email from Stark that they are mailing the MCO. In addition, here's the info they provided on VECI and engine number: "Regarding VECI, this is only necessary for on highway vehicles. According to the attached memo from CARB to CA DMV, it is not necessary for the VARG. Please...

That's good to hear! Hopefully will get the same response soon.

I was seeing 1% every 3 - 4 minutes so yeah, looks like 5 - 6 hours to fully charge. I also noticed the Amps coming down slightly as the charge built up. Started ~50% at 8.5, and as down to 8.2 at 74% per pic below. The app only allows current to be changed, I had set it at the max of 10amps...

I was only seeing ~8.5 amps max on a 110V with the Stark-supplied US charging cable (swapped out the 14-30 since I don't have that outlet at my house). Also, the charging setting on the phone amp max'd at 10 amps. Maybe I'm missing something? Based on the charging rate, I estimated 4 - 5 hours...

Agree with everything you said, unfortunately Stark's response on this topic hasn't been good. In the meantime, going to try and see how far I can get myself. I even found a company that can issue the certificate of origin and labels, it really shouldn't be that hard for Stark to fix this. No...

None on my delivery, other than the shipping bill of lading. You can download their invoice from the website.
