New VARG Software Update.

You're right. My mistake.
I received it last night from our buddy Sam and assumed it was about the recent update.
Does that also mean that FW1.6.0 IS the big update?
I'm not noticing anything drastically different while riding.
Two minor things I've noticed with 1.6.0 on my EX so far:
- The contactors seem to operate much faster when turning the bike on/off
- When turning off the bike under 20% it no longer seems to go into deep sleep mode automatically, it still just sits in hibernation. I noticed it coming home around 17% so perhaps they just lowered the threshold to 10% or something.

WTH, it's 2026 and Stark is still advertising adjusting throttle response and traction control, did I miss something?
traction control? i didnt know about that, my replacement bike didnt arrive yet... is that a new update that i miss?
but yes, i suppose there are still people who haven't yet discovered this type of bike and its technology, and Stark wants the information to reach as many people as possible, which is why they keep repeating the same thing...
I think it's about time they implemented the speedometer adjustment based on sprocket size and wheel size... @brongle has it in their app, and even Talaria has it on some of their bikes
I asked them about this 5 months ago and they told me they had it in development... a bit slow...
I see this IG post as an invitation to gauge who of the existing owners are missing the promised features. There's already some comments to that matter, and I guess they want more owners to push with comments and likes to comments.
Just imagine there are more comments which ask for a timeline than comments which praise the bike

I guess 'soon' means something else in Spain.

Really pisses me off.. I spoke with the Stark crew at the recent Day in the Dirt at Glen Helen and they said the throttle response feature will never come to the 1st gen MX bikes, it's only planned for the 2nd gen and later. Another stick in the eye for early adopters

I agree they screwed us with a bit of bait and switch, but I do not regret purchasing my Varg.
And now the throttle curve adjustment is a paid subscription feature on the newer models, but I don't really want it anymore.
Sure, if it was free I would give it a try, but if I could get only one of the broken promises fixed, it would be the weight of the bike.

Agree. I am pretty happy over all with my Varg. On the business side, this is common practice among "tech bros" these days. Over promise, under deliver, screw the customer.
It only adjusts the brigtness of the phone screen and the little light on the map switch
Thanks, that would have been too good, and most likely not road legal anymore.
Pretty sure it won't be in the EU. One might be using a Varg only off road.
In that case, it could be a more complex matter: the headlight is connected via cable with GND, Plus, CAN H, CAN L. Disconnecting anything in that cable would also disable the front indicators, and might or might not have further actions from the CAN master. That's easily tested by just disconnecting the whole thing and testing the bike.
Only switching the headlight leaves the connection between PCB and light source - unless the h/l is cast with resin like the tail light.

Great news that they are finally publishing release notes!
