I think we already have good examples from the automotive world or ICE bikes that manufacturers are/have to be very cautious because of liability reasons and so the aftermarket has to step in with all the consequences (broken warranties, broken vehicles ;-) this has. IMO Stark went pretty far...

The EX has an OBDII port which you can access with a reader. It might give you some better information and fault codes can be cleared, but honestly I don't think it will give you more possibilities than the support has. Nevertheless if you want to keep yourself occupied while waiting for...

Yes, being a member here has been really helpful and that's what made me get the spare control switch (and install the master link!) asap. Nevertheless I use my silicon toe protector when washing the bike and haven't had it in serious rain or mud yet so I doubt this issue was caused by water...

Yes, MX 1.2 version for use on the EX. Michael

Fortunately I'm paranoid! I mean, seriously paranoid and usually I have a whole collection of spare parts before even having the bike in my possession. Now on the Varg one of my biggest concerns was always the control switch, because if that stops working for what reason ever you are left...

I see your points and issues big car manufacturers like VW had/have with their SW come to mind. On the other hand this is a dirt bike, shouldn't be that complicated, or? Now we have a "simple" electric engine instead of the EFI crap and what do they do - they screw up the SW ;) No, I won't start...

IMO the issue here is that Android is what it is - an open platform, not a Varg dedicated one. With Android you'll always have the option of infinite settings and possibly other apps running and you can never test it all. This was a poor idea from the beginning on ... Michael

So with the latest firmware update the lock-feature was supposed to be fixed - that worked until the latest app update o_O Not only did the last app update on my EX happened automatically mid-ride (!!!) which IMO is a big no-go by itself, the lock function is broken again on my bike. If I lock...

Did you use the "good" charger in the same environment (same wall plug/location, adapter, extension cord, ...) you are using your malfunctioning one? The charger has some protection circuits build in that react allergic to certain ground configurations/installations. This can be plug adapters...

I used the "big toe" one on the EX unit, but as I said those are very stretchy so they will fit different diameters. Michael

Believe it or not, Silicon Toe protectors do the trick. The Silicon is stretchy enough to become almost clear to see the buttons, but unfortunately the life span isn't great when stretched that much. But for power washing or a mud race this should be fine...

What about OBDII access! With one of those OBD dongles and the according adapter cable (red plug is "Euro5 OBDII") you can use an app on your phone to read fault codes and live engine data like RPM, temps and such. There are already a few threads about that here. Michael

Yeah, but he also said he is using the smallest front sprocket possible. There is a 11 from the KTM Freeride I think, but a custom 10 might be possible as well. Michael

To me it seems like the precision of the throttle is so good, that a human with only a throttle grip can not fully exploit it. That is were those crutches, ähem clutches ;), come into play giving you an extra control set. Still, 1.200€ is ridiculous and the loss of the hand brake hurts as well...
