    Varg comfort seat options for trail riding

    "@Dirt-E Can you detail what you mean by "thicker seat" since that can be interpreted different ways? Does that refer to taller or wider?" I mean both. The XL comfort seat has thicker (taller) and wider rear padding. The front has a little more as well, but it's narrow for getting up on the...

    driving at sub-zero temperatures

    0°C / 32°F, or -17°C / 0°F? I, for one, don't like doing anything outdoors below 35°F, but have ridden in the 20s once or twice. You don't want to charge your battery to full, and you want to go easy on it until the batteries have some run time and begin to warm up a little. I'm not sure...

    Phone Screen Replacement

    How about a screen protector? I haven't looked up the phone or anything about it, but would assume there might be some options available to prevent the screen from getting beat up.

    Varg comfort seat options for trail riding

    I asked SC about making a thicker seat as well and they said they don't have molds for making them. I have an XL on my KTM500 and it's much better than any other bike I've ever owned. My Alta is pretty rough as well, but not nearly as bad as the Stark. I'm missing a leg and can't stand up...

    Broken display - solution?

    I ordered the backlight and didn't realize it was separate from the glass screen part (EA DOGM240W-6). The only place I found them was overseas at Display Visions/Industrial Solutions (DISPLAY VISIONS Webshop) so I put two on order since the shipping was going to be the same for one or two. If I...

    Electric Cycle Rider Full Size E Dirtbike Shootout - Artic Leopard vs Stark vs Alta vs E&C

    Nice comparison. I have to admit, I'm a bit disappointed the Alta was ranked the way it was, because it's extremely comparable to my new Stark. Maybe the Yamaha conversion is also just that good (but it looks like someone made it in their garage). I guess credit yamaha with a great frame and...

    Stark actually profitable... kinda

    So, in a nutshell, is this post suggesting that Stark is proving to be viable (even beyond Alta) and that it would be "safe" to buy one and have some backing with it? I still own and love my EXR. I actually have no need to get rid of, or replace it at this point. But I'm curious about the...

    TAKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alpha Now only $10,900 OTD

    I bought my EXR back in July of 2018 after waiting a while to get an Alta with a kickstand. I think it was the end of that September that Alta threw in the towel and I was sitting on a $14K paperweight, so $3K doesn't sound so bad 😉 That being said, I've gotten several good years out of my bike...

    Broken wire bonds

    Excellent!!! I've been lucky to have mine still kicking after nearly 6 years of ownership. Hoping to keeping it going well into the future with the support of everyone on here.

    Broken display - solution?

    I broke my screen today in a minor rollover. I read yourpost and looked up EA LED94x40-GR on Mouser. $28ish after UPS shipping. I guess I'm going to be giving it a try soon. Thanks for the heads-up on how to do the repair. I'm pretty confident in my soldering abilities, but it's there any...

    Do you need help replacing them Rashid? I'd be happy to help if you need it.

    Alta EXR is finally due for a new chain and sprocket set

    All years? Or specific years? I may already have an extra rear sprocket that I got with my KTM 500. I'll just have to look at the tooth count. Thanks for the heads up!

    Alta EXR is finally due for a new chain and sprocket set

    They are all out of rear sprockets. That's okay though, I can look for alternatives. Are there any ups and downs to steel VS aluminum? I've only ever had to replace chains on my little bikes for the kids, so I haven't looked at full size stuff yet.

    Alta EXR is finally due for a new chain and sprocket set

    I've got a little over 2,000 miles on my EXR and the front sprocket is starting to get a bit shark-toothed and making a bunch of noise. I tried searching around the site, but didn't seem to locate possible part numbers or model years to look at for replacements. If I'm not mistaken, the stock...

    Alta Redshift MX Wheel Spacers (outside of the hub) wanted

    Agreed, my 9V battery died on me a while back and I needed to replace it. None of the data wiped out even after the battery being dead for some time, so probably not a big worry.

    Alta Redshift vs. Suron Ultra Bee

    Haha! I figured you might be on this forum. I'm not on here a lot but occasionally get reminders and saw this topic pop up, so I'm happy to relate my experiences. I'm sure that with mods you can make any bike equivalent in power. I would just be worried either about durability (ie- can the...

    Alta Redshift vs. Suron Ultra Bee

    I got to try a Ultra (and Light bee) recently. I'm not aware of it was modded, but assuming the UB was stock, I was very impressed with it. It's very light and actually stronger than i thought it would be. It falls flat on its face once it's up to speed, and the throttle isn't as direct or...

    Stark going the way of Alta?

    I got to try an 80hp version of the stark over the weekend. To say the least, I was pretty astounded by the performance. That's not to say it won't have its detractors, just like Alta did back in their day, but this bike truly is a step in the right direction, in my opinion. Alta was never for...

    BREAKING NEWS: Amprius Creates a 500Wh/kg Battery

    Me too! Haha I got to ride a stark yesterday. It handles much lighter than my EXR but it sure isn't any lighter picking it up of the ground. 🫠

    BREAKING NEWS: Amprius Creates a 500Wh/kg Battery

    Yes, that was a typo. I guess I wasn't paying attention to the first digit in either instance.
