Don't over think it. Go with a good quality fluid like Motul 660 but more important, change/flush it with new every 6 months or more often under extremes conditions.

Nothing really new to see here but I think Stark is trying desperately to get as much market share, name recognition and dominance of the premium E bike market as fast as they can before other major manufactures get involved. I don't know in what aspects a competitor would improve on the Stark...

Honda could build and release a competitive production E-bike to the Stark anytime they want. They just don't want to...yet. But when they do MXA will be the first to test it! :)

Sounds like you covered the all the bases. Have you called Stark? It wouldn't be the first time a issues occurred with the cooling system.

Unfortunately I'm working with Stark to get a RAN (Return Authorization Number) to return the kit.

FYI from Stark as of this month: Thank you for contacting us. As of now, the new side stand bracket is not available in our spare parts inventory for warranty replacements. The allocation of parts for new production bikes and for aftersales support can sometimes differ due to supply chain and...

I could tolerate the mods needed but the old style bracket that came with the kit is is a deal breaker for me and Stark is using up NOS before going 100% with the new updated bracket.

The OEM Side Stand kit Stark sent has the old style bracket so I'm sending it back. What's out there for replacement kits Ali or others? I don't need/want auto return.

I think Stark is just using up old stock and replacing broken brackets with the updated version. I've been bugging SAM about it but to no avail. I just sent a email to Stark requesting the upgraded side stand bracket. We'll see what happens.

I put my order in last week and just got it today.

I just got that kit and it had the old style (weak) bracket

Looks like the new improved Stark bracket is still cast. Wouldn't a billet equivalent be stronger?

See if you can find someone on a Varg riding the same events and contact them. AXP Skid Plate: Xtrem skid plate Stark Future Varg ( 2023 – 2024 ) - Black

Getting ready to pull my rocker off. The Stark video clearly shows the Ninja girl loosening the rocker shaft on the chain side 1st. Then she goes over to the footbrake side to turn the jam nut. Here you are saying it should be the reverse order. Who is right????

So happy that here are folks here like UKLee to keep our egos in check!
