This phone-bike combo is such garbage, probably one of the worst tech attempts I've ever seen.

Well if the battery is low enough to turn the bike off, you already know the battery is low and it could turn off if your actively using crawl mode.

Don't use the lock feature in the app, it's a horrible design it will leave you stranded one day.

Not shutting down in crawl mode is idiotic. There should always be some default voltage protection from the battery draining to zero and getting damaged. Total amateur company. And this worthless shit arkenstone phone, slow laggy cheap POS that can't even communicate with the bike half the...

Crazy event happened this weekend. On Friday, I took the EX for a ride. Came back, put EX in garage at about 50% battery, locked the bike in phone app, press the red start/stop button to turn it off, then left for my trip. That night, I remotely happened to check my security camera and I find...

I noticed in the manual for my EX to "purge the air" from my front shocks after every ride. I'm not doing anything aggressive and barely any air comes out... is this kinda overkill to do it after every ride?

Ya I never mess with nylon zip ties. I always use stainless.

New dirt bike rider and EX owner here... I've been taking the EX up in the mountains here in Colorado, quite far from civilization. Was thinking about what if I broke down out there. Wanted to hear you experienced guys thoughts on an "emergency kit" to get home. Or any failure types or...

Got my bike two weeks ago with the rear hand brake in the box. I do recall a selection you had to make at time of order.

I have Metzeler 6 Days Extreme Medium on my EX. But they seem pretty terrible in the sand. I have sand everywhere and I guess I didn't think about the tires too much. What can I do to my rear tire to not make it suck so bad in sand? Is there a tire I can get that is better in sand but also not...

Found a solution, held down the +/- buttons for 20s to "reset" the bike and then it started recognizing the charger slider settings.

EX, software updated, Bluetooth connected, phone in bike dock. Charge slider power draw limit, and slow mode (1kW) settings do nothing. Bike on 120v outlet highsides to max 1.8kW every time. Silly thing is the bike thinks it's charging at 3.3kW. Are the Stark software guys this terrible or am I...

Just did my first oil change at five hours on my EX. Fluid looked new/clear, but did have a burnt smell. Magnetic drain plug had noticeable black metal particles, but otherwise so far so good! All the oil related bolts were easy to get off with Torx bits.

Oh ya that is great to know.

Just ordered the oil. How are you getting the oil out, suction pump? Besides frequently changing this gear oil and keeping the chain clean and lubed, anything else I need to worry about?
