    Moving Varg charger to different case

    It was an easy job, although I didn't mount any cable stays. I just put paint on the bottom of the 4 posts and marked the spot to drill and used the original screws. There was too much loose stuff and that bulky stand which is hard to get the bike on, now I am back to my step lift stand.

    Moving Varg charger to different case

    Wondering, do you have to keep the pelican case open for venting while using it? Not so foolproof then, but easier to carry around.

    I like the extra room for an extension cord.

    Australian Championship shows why the AMA has banned Stark. It ain’t Safety.

    Did you see the Lazer999 video with the fastest mx bikes in the world drag racing? It wasn't even close, Stark smoked them all and no four strokes even made the final four.

    Australian Championship shows why the AMA has banned Stark. It ain’t Safety.

    There was a time when the 500cc "Open" class was king. including 650 4t's. One off bikes were common, and works bikes. Now it's lame. Scared of a faster bike.

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles NEWS

    They realize they are missing money. There is by now enough riders to make a class, even with the late notice. It's a great start, and opens some closed doors. With Beta releasing the new 350 2 stroke MX'er, the Open class is shaping up!

    Australian Championship shows why the AMA has banned Stark. It ain’t Safety.

    The religion of powerplants isn't much different than the religion of off road vs track riders. It's baffling to me how many dirt bike riders are stuck in one camp or the other. Moto guys won't try off road events, and off road guys rarely hit the track to practice or race. I just don't get it...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    I have watched most of his vids, and now that he has his display on the video, you can see he is not optimizing his distance and range. IMO he could gear it taller so it doesn't scream, use a paddle tire, and turn of Regen. It's a race, so I don't think settings under 60 HP have any benefit. He...

    RE: Stark - My conversation with Mike Burkeen, AMA Deputy Director of Racing

    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.

    Jack hammer varg forks

    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! :)

    RE: Stark - My conversation with Mike Burkeen, AMA Deputy Director of Racing

    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...

    RE: Stark - My conversation with Mike Burkeen, AMA Deputy Director of Racing

    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 .

    Steg Pegz!

    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?
