    Looking for Higo Connector-Cable Knowledge / Experience from the Collective

    The European EX bikes come with a Higo to Euro5 OBDII (red connector, just google) adapter cable that plugs into a 6-pin Higo connector that sits above the battery. The Euro5 OBDII connectors should be easier to source than the Higo ones and there you'll find +12V and ground which should easily...

    Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric using Stark parts

    Not so long ago we said that of MX/Enduro bikes as well ;) I have to admit though, that I do agree with you in that regard. Just like with my ICE car I'd want the flexibility and range out of an ADV bike that EV cannot give me yet. On a recent trip to Croatia with friends I loved the EXs...

    Brand New Stark Varg EX Won’t Start — No LED, No Charging, No Bluetooth, No Response

    That would be great. I already have the ODI universal lock-on (left side lock on, throttle side glue on) and it works pretty well. Would like to have a full lock on setup as I do change my grips regularly. Michael

    The "lock bike" feature isn't reliable

    What is the "blank screen" button? In my attempts to reconnect the Bluetooth connection on the EX I was actually asked for a BT password a few times but none of the known ones like "0000" or "000000" worked. Seems like you just have to use the right sequence of shutdowns and then hope for the...

    Brand New Stark Varg EX Won’t Start — No LED, No Charging, No Bluetooth, No Response

    Yes, I can confirm that. Actually it is the same throttle with just an adapter added to match the new connectors on the EX. Unfortunately the adapter cannot be easily removed to use an MX throttle on the EX. In one of his interviews Anton mentioned that he is not happy with the Hirschmann...

    The "lock bike" feature isn't reliable

    That is my experience as well. You lock the bike, go for lunch for example and take the phone with you so the Bluetooth connection is lost. When trying to unlock the bike afterwards it won't work and the whole group of riders has to wait until the procedure of multiple shutdowns of the phone and...

    Advanced Modes: What Are You Cooking Up?

    Shane Pinney made an interesting note in his video about the power modes. If you first set a HP/regen number on one of the 5 basic modes and save it, then go to the same advanced power mode and hit the "circle" icon in the upper right, it will set the curve according to what you just selected in...

    Number Plate for EX?

    The Varg MX one is a direct fit - you just unplug the headlight and put the MX one on. That's what I'm running on my EX. Michael

    EX Kill switch behaviour

    SAM isn't always up to date - maybe it was originally intended to work like this but hasn't made it into production (yet)? Shane Pinney mentioned it in one of his first EX videos on YouTube - works in the US just like you described. Michael

    Battery related issues thread

    Had that too in the beginning, but it seems to have sorted itself now. Yesterday I had an update pending on the bike, version went to 1.2.4 - don't know if that changes anything, but you may want to check on your bike as well. Michael

    Battery related issues thread

    The blue LED is the key for successful charging. There can be situations when the bike behaves like it is charging but the LED is yellow which means there is something wrong. Might be a problem with an extension cable or you wall plug so that the charger will not work. Michael

    CAN connection between bike and charger

    Yes, unfortunately we don't have the NACS connector here in Europe - it is basically all CCS including the European Teslas. Michael

    CAN connection between bike and charger

    While an automotive DC charger would be a natural choice, the connectors on those are pretty big already. So even if you figure out the CAN part, the adapter and cable would still be quite bulky as I don't think you could take a lot of short cuts with the voltage and amperage involved. Michael

    CAN connection between bike and charger

    There is a CAN communication protocol documentation for the aftermarket EVPT chargers available, but unless someone actually logs the CAN communication on the stark itself it still is not clear. The build specification of the Varg charger is C1000 which is not listed in the EVPT docs so it...

    Have there been any EX deliveries yet? Post your delivery here.

    Funny, looks like mine which also has its place on the same 24mx mat - only difference my mat already has a hole worn through from those garage burnouts :ricky: Michael
