I’ve always believed that it’s on the overtaking rider to get by safely. Hollering is easy. Bringing all noise down makes the most sense, unfortunately it’s like pushing a rope.

It will be interesting to see how it works for you. My only problem with JBI is he is very secretive about what he's doing. Other than a spring perch, he doesn't really have any proprietary parts. For some reason, I just don't think shim shuffling is the answer, but it should be the cheapest...

This is it. Nothing makes sense. There's no science being used. It's just OEM control of the sport, protecting their business interests. Safety is just an excuse, as is noise. TOO QUIET! :)

Using noise as a safety excuse is just BS. The bikes have been racing together for 2 years now all over the world without a problem. Noisemakers could solve it, but they will find another excuse, probably a brake light for off throttle :) I'm not humoring them anymore, just calling them out as...

Parity is not expected in age classes. 2t’s are also not raced in other sports. Safety is not a given in motocross, and only a fool would run up a electric bikes ass because they checked up on a jump. When Honda releases their bike, all will be forgotten. Sorry, but Mike is a tool .

These are going mainstream in Moto. This should give a little relief while I get the forks worked out. I just ordered something a little different than a round puck, for a larger contact area. I will probably cut them in half?

JBI is on V4-5-6? They keep on working on it. A lot of tuners had a big learning curve. The difference between a Stark is like the difference between a 2t and a 4t. Not too much discussion on the shock. I took 100cc out of each fork and finally getting better and using all the travel, back off...

I remember Marc was a regular at VitalMX, and even did a call in show IIRC? The amount of idiotic hate that e-moto has received since the beginning was unreal, almost everyone was against a quiet bike. Until they rode one. Larry Hughes, who worked for Alta as a dealer rep, was also a regular...

ELECTRIFYING NEWS FROM STARK At a time when LiveWire’s consolidated net loss was $19.3 million for the first quarter 2025 in order to sell 33 units globally, Stark Future recorded its highest-ever monthly revenue of €18.3 million while delivering a positive EBITDA of €2.8 million. Positive cash...

Thanks, I did not know the proper terminology

Only 2 rides in, but I’m finding my 60 super easy to modulate without too much unexpected power, it walks right up the loading ramp. Never got to try the earlier software versions. I am enjoying the 0% regen, and find that chopping the throttle on jumps still creates forward rotation. Range...

Any update? Supermoto reports of Starks getting walked on longer straights. Has anyone dyno’d the 60 vs 80?

IIRC the “80hp” Alpha maximum on the dyno is 63hp?
