    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    Surely the rider is instrumental in winning a motocross race; someone says that in F1 and other motorsports it's the vehicle that matters the most and maybe that's true, but that principle doesn't hold good with MX. IMO discussing this topic of electric bikes to be allowed vs gas bikes is...

    That's a gen 1 power unit, then. As far as I've read here, typically they would send you a new power unit to replace yours in these rare (but IMO worrysome) lockup cases. I've noticed that they have recently added a countershaft replacement kit to their spare parts list in their website, so...

    Polo sport halo led headlight, Husqvarna TE 450.

    Hello. I do have an Italian Husky: 2008 SM610, but I only use it on tracks (I know it's not a racing 450) and I removed the headlights more than ten years ago. Over the years I've used a forum called CafeHusky which has been a very pleasant and friendly virtual environment in which I've helped...

    Hi. Sorry for the issue; I hope you are not injured. I live in Italy and here in august companies tipically close for 2 or 3 weeks for vacations; as far as I know it happens in other European countries, too; maybe Stark in Spain is closed or many of their employees are on vacation, so I am not...

    Paralysed Doug Henry wins a World Vet motocross race using a modified Varg

    And here is an onboard, too: @ roughly 6:00 in the first video you can see his setup better: the original saddle has been replaced with that special one having a backrest and side braces, if I have seen right. Following AJ Catnzaro's advice that I've heard in his videos, even when I sit I push...

    A Suspension Tuners Take on Stark

    He mentioned the weight distribution; now in the tutorials and technical section of Stark's site there is a specification sheet file in which they have written, in the suspension section, F48% R52%, which I guess means 48% weight on the front and 52 on rear.

    Now in the tutorials and technical section of Stark's site there is a specification sheet file with this information and more.

    New VARG Software Update.

    Yesterday at the track I updated the bike and noticed that it was less powerful, so I checked the maps settings and found out the same thing, then set it to 60 HP again and it felt pretty powerful again. I wonder whether it's proper to use this feature for things different from riding or moving...

    There is also a hole on the right side of the spoiler assembly to access the top battery shaft quicker.

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Those prices are still the same, so probably you are right. @Tim Sharp: from your pictures I can't understand whether the area where the pull rod mates to the power unit has been changed in Gen 2, as a corrective action to this failure...

    Update with reverse/crawl mode

    In their Instagram post they wrote that there is also an anti whiskey throttle function; that's interesting. That's understandable, but according to their manual (that I downloaded months ago; I don't know whether it has benn changed) the bike needs to be updated when the LED is magenta, so IMO...

    Update with reverse/crawl mode

    The video has been released on their official YouTube channel today and according to their Instagram profile the update is now available. (I won't update right now because usually I update the bike at the track after having completed a couple of sessions so I don't waste my track day if...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    I guess that if water seeps into those cracks it can electrically shock the rider and damage the inverter, too. From Foss: In the Stark's website I see that now they have listed the powertrain again as a spare part and there is also a gen2 conversion kit, but the prices must be wrong: 3,500 €...

    Sounds like quite a breakthrough!

    EV sportcars/supercars from brands which became icoinc with ICE

    Well, I would expect Porsche, Ferrari etc. to stick to their traditions and to be superior to trends like SUVs; I guess that at the end of the day they care about their revenues just like everybody else and so they adapt to what people want. So yes, I agree that an electric Ferrari is more...

    EV sportcars/supercars from brands which became icoinc with ICE

    IMO an insanely cool sounding EV, at least from videos. is the McMurtry car: the motor sounds pretty cool and the aerodynamics even better. Some weekends ago unfortunately somebody got hurt seriously at the MX track and so they called a helicopter to bring him/her to the hospital: no two stroke...

    do you store the bike in standby mode or completely off?

    I understand that we are responsible for what we do etc. but I don't think that there is a significant risk of fire or overhrating if the bike is in standby mode. Maybe an ongoing charging state like suggested above, which I believe could be done with a current smaller than 1A anyways could...

    3 issues with my Stark Varg in 1 week.

    Hey I love riding, too, so I completely understand your frustration, like, I think, a lot of other people here. I don't know you, but just maybe try and enjoy your weekend anyways and don't think about it. If you won't have an answer until monday, then don't think about it until monday. Don't...

    DIY maintenance and safety for EVs

    Does this work when the bike is shut down, meaning with no light at all from the LED in the control switch? In their video and pdf tutorials they say that the bike should be turned off before disassembling electrics or electronics, but in their videos and documents sometimes they consider it...

    charging plugs insertion sequence

    Maybe the best solution would be to have a wall socket with a switch and start and stop the power supply only when both plugs are connected. I just thought that with a smart bike and a smart charger there wouldn't have been a difference.
