I read your comment as that the "technician" confirmed this in a pre-delivery check. If that's not the case, my apologies.

110 to 115 kgs??? Is that confirmed? If so. WHAT DID THEY DO?

Yep, pretty much what I said. Thanks for repeating.

One (just one of many) benefits of a mechanical clutch is that it completely separates drive from driven. Why is this a benefit? Imagine having any kind of electronic or electric component failure on your Varg when you are miles away from basecamp. If that happens, and you need to push your bike...

Impressive bit of work - kudos! What is the printing media/material?

That little girl does a have an amazing sound. Sorry if her siblings bothered you.

My MX with SM wheels has a somewhat loud whine at road/freeway speed. Is it obnoxious? No, not even close. I live in California and we split lanes here for commuting. Cage pilots (car drivers) DO NOT hear me coming on the Varg and that's something that I need to be consciously be aware of. On my...

This whole thread seems so strange to me. I have a 2024 Varg Alpha and it has 3 sets of 'complete' wheels (which means each has it's own sprockets, spacers and rotors). #1, the original Stark OEM 18/21's. #2, custom built SM 17/17 wheels that I had made for a KTM (I never told the builder that...

It's obviously your wheel builder that caused this discrepancy. You might just want to talk to them about it.

14/47 is what came stock on my 2024 Varg Alpha MX with 18" rear wheel.

As others have mentioned, there's a small drain plug and it also has a copper crush washer. They recommend a new washer whenever replacing the plug, but I've re-used mine several times and have no leaking or seeping issue. Stark does a great job with their service videos, it's worth it to go...

My first oil change was at 3hrs, 44min. The stuff that came out looked nothing at all like oil, it looked like melted ice-cream. You might want to consider being more proactive than I was, and invest in the liter I mentioned.

Here we go again...

Probably a bit too far unrelated, but I'm gonna tell this story anyway... Several years ago I was courted by Buell Motorcycles to interview for the position of manufacturing/engineering and design lead for their new line of bikes (to be built overseas - China and India!) They set me up with...
