On the EX it works. When your subscription runs out, the currently selected power mode (basic or advanced) will stay active. Obviously you can't modify your power curves any more, but as long as you don't save a basic power mode your previously designed advanced power curves will be used. Michael

No, sorry. Michael

The power button is a separate, direct connection to the VCU. The other buttons use a CAN bus connection and when something else is messing with the CAN bus it can also impede the function of the buttons and LED. I had a cracked tail light that would disturb the CAN bus causing some intermitted...

I think the e-clutches themselves were not deemed as very useful, but I did see some positive comments about the traction control that came with them. Michael

See it positive, you saved some extra (virtual) gas ;) Michael

You are Iron-Erwin? ;) Seriously, I did not believe a 12V car battery would work under water until I saw it. Michael

Ursprung weight would hbe high so suspension performance will suffer considerably especially with an offroad bike. All the motorcycle all wheel drive system suffered from this so far .... Michael

Yes, it looked like a good idea until it wasn't and with RaceTorx being non responsive it is just a waste of time bothering with it. Michael

I had this happen when I had to replace my phone on my EX - the new phone had to be assigned to the bike by Stark support before it would work with my account. Michael

IMO balance isn't a concern here with the knobby tires usually seriously imbalanced anyway and speeds low. And it is hard to exactly drill the holes. Cutting is easier and as I said you keep the part for later to get more life out of the mousse. Actually you can also save the drilled out bits...

I'm having problems to take a company named "donut" battery for serious - seems like a joke/scam to me. For the video it seems like the exact same location as for the Verge motorcycle, just another guy talking - really doesn't seem legit to me? Michael

Good decision, it is just another no so well thought out product by RaceTorx. Not only that the technical implementation with clamping on a plastic throttle tube is just sketchy, the ergonomic side is basically unusable as well. Yes, you'll be able to move the bike forward but that's basically...

Today I pulled the mousse out of an Varg EX rear wheel with the Michelin 140/80-18 Medium. Now the Michelin got a lot of volume, usually more than the Metzeler, the mousse has a cross section circumference of ~310mm and says "made in Austria" on it so I assume it is an X-Grip EH2 - seems too...

It was pure coincidence. Usually I'm not a Mitas fan as I prefer control over pure traction and the Mitas tires always seem to have a rather soft, flexy carcass. But a friend recently recommended the EX MH 2x green and so I dug into the topic. The EX MH was formerly called the MX MH and therefor...

Considering the OP is in the US some of the options we have here in Europe might not be available or reasonably priced in the US. On the other hand I've heard good things about the IRC tires, but afaik they are hardly available in Europe so I've no experience with them. Since the Varg is heavier...
