Yes I contacted Stark. Stark will respond eventually (it took 4 days last time). The bike is not stolen and is properly registered to me on the Stark app. This is the second malfunction after a light hose off. Something is getting wet. I am certain of this because after setting several hours...

This is what happened to my MX1. The 3.7 Volt DC battery in the VCU discharged to 2.65 vdc. The bike was dead no lights, no noise nothing. I removed the front fender and then carefully removed the cover from the VCU. The battery is mounted to that cover. I unplugged the battery from the VCU...

My Stark Varg MX1 will not switch to Run mode. I can select, Run/off(flashing green), standby (flashing red), charge (solid blue, charges fine) and Off (no lights). I cannot switch to Run, walk forward or walk reverse. I have a spare switch and I’ve swapped out the switch and that didn’t...

I’m having my first problem with the Varg MX1. The bike is dead. It was working and I powered it off (not standby). Now the bike will not power on. No lights no sound nothing. Won’t power on or charge. The bike was at approximately 50 percent charge and running when I turned it off. I contacted...

Whiskey throttle of an electric bike is much quicker and more powerful than ICE. I own 3 electric bikes 2 Electric motion and 1 Alta. The word I would use to describe it is VIOLENT.

Alta EX not charging, codes 007, 33, 37. My Alta EX has shown code 33 for several years and the bike continued to work flawlessly. Now the bike will not charge and shows code 37 as well as 33 and when connected to charger displays the message “STOPPED 007 HV Isolation” the bike continues to...

I have been riding an Alta EX for 6 years. It’s stored in my unheated barn and ridden in temperatures as low as the high 20s F. I always store the bike fully charged and have never tried to charge it at temperatures below freezing. Lithium batteries do not like extreme temperatures and I doubt...

I’d be interested in the front only. I’m in Indiana 47129. John 502 851 4798

I have a 2018 Alta EXR and a 2021 Electric Motion e pure with a clutch. I will not buy another motorcycle without a clutch. I’m not really sure that the 4 speed transmission is needed. Electric Motion is currently at the pinnacle of electric motorcycle development. They’re trying different...

I’ve had that code displayed for 4 years. If it runs ride it.

I’ve had code 37 showing for over 6 months. The bike works fine and my Dad always said “if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it” so that’s where I’m at. It is good to know that it probably has no moisture and that’s what makes a forum like this so valuable.

Anything that keeps these great bikes going will be great. I think I bought the last display Alta had as they folded. Can functions be added to the unused buttons on the OEM displays?

An alternative display would be great. Here’s what I would like in order of importance. 1: State of charge 2: hour meter 3: odometer 4: trip odometer 5: time of day (clock) I’m guessing that there are Alta’s not in use because of the lack of a replacement display unit. Thanks in advance for...

Not really. I don’t recall any issues installing the YZ springs. The OEM spring simply is a poor design and reshaping it didn’t solve the problem to my satisfaction. My bikes an 2018 EX.

Here’s a simple fix. Replace the springs with 2015 Yamaha YZ250F OEM. I have done this and it solves the problem.
