    How To Identify Your Stark MX and Stark EX Suspension (springs)

    This is written a bit confusing - you always count suspension clicks from fully closed. So you turn the clicker adjuster CW until it stops and that's your current setting. To set it to a specific number you start from fully closed and count the clicks outward (CCW). SAM now has the numbers for...

    Thread Dedicated to Keeping Track of Firmware Versions

    Seems like there are staggered updates in place - my EX doesn't show an update available, still on 1.2.4. Also Sam has no info on the 1.2.8 yet. Michael

    No dead battery failsafe's...

    Just imagine you are using crawl mode to hold the bike (no freewheeling) on a steep incline/descent and it turns off unexpectedly o_O Michael

    Extracting SOC metrics?

    Probably thinking too complicated. Just use an Android remote screen app like AirDroid or SureMDM. You know the Stark phone is on when charging and you obviously have access to the WiFi there. Just make sure the Stark phone is connected and the remote access app is running when leaving the bike...

    Extracting SOC metrics?

    On the EX you can retrieve the SOC and other data via OBDII. There seem to be remote OBDII solutions on the market, but I don't now how pricey they are. Probably the cheapest way to have a phone there which you can control remotely and which connects to a cheap ODB dongle. Maybe even control the...

    Welcome to the club :giggle: I guess most of us have been there ... but thanks for the honest update (y) Michael

    EX left me stranded today

    Could you confirm that it was really the server break down? Is it working now? I could live with the app not working, but the bike being down as well would be a no-go. On the other hand i have been to a few places without cellphone coverage and everything was working fine ... Michael

    Grind down steering stops?

    Because of the keyed lock for the steering. The receiver for the locking tab sits where the steering stop are on the MX. Nevertheless the whole assembly is just screwed onto the frame and probably could be replaced by an assembly for adjustable stops. Michael

    Grind down steering stops?

    If you machine too much off the triple clamp there is enough material there for a threaded hole to mount a screw which would actually give you adjustable steering stops! Michael

    Grind down steering stops?

    The steering stop on the EX is a tab welded to the middle/front of the steering head tube. You possibly could grind of some material there, but IMO the much nicer approach would be to take the lower triple clamp to a machine shop and have them machine 1mm (for starters) off of each of the...

    Extra plug with EX. What is it for?

    OBDII access. Interesting to see the US bikes also come with it. Connector is above the battery under the plastics/seat. Red connector is Euro5 OBDII. I actually haven't connected an OBD dongle to it to see what kind of data Stark provides here. As I understand it this is an requirement for...

    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...
