    Problems with Charging

    Yes glad they are on it. But Stark probably wants to tighten it down on the QA especially for electrical connections. All it will take is one fire or somebody getting a good zap and the bad PR will be like a snowball. The dealer I bought my bike from went through charging my bike before I got it.

    Pretty awesome and I am glad to hear about the tremendous customer service. There are a lot of companies these days who should take lessons from these guys. That said, I am still struggling to understand why there are still couldas and wouldas in the diagnosis but I guess it doesn't matter now...

    Power station? Eco Flow or Anker SOLIX F3800

    Wow that $300 was a great deal and that you get up to 450W is incredible. That is really what the price should be for a 400 watt panel really, but our idiot politicians from both sides are taxing the hell out of solar panels through tariffs. I am really happy with my 400W EcoFlow foldable...

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

    Agreed I don't think it is significant if at all. But here in the US the liability for shared spaces is kinda messy (burning your own stuff well that is covered if you burn 3 other's garages with their stuff including their vehicles well that might be a mess) and even the slightest risk...

    I am wondering if the power on system power is separate from the drive system power (somebody on this forum probably knows :)). Maybe with a small CMOS-type battery. In computer systems these batteries can live for 10 years.

    Did you try that multiple times? Does it discharge over time? Might be a small battery somewhere for the CPU.

    Don't know where you are in CT @rayivers but I can't say enough good things about Motorbikes Plus in Portsmouth New Hampshire. They pretty much sell only dirtbikes and Adventure bikes. I bought my KTMs from them and recently bought my Stark from them. Excellent experience all the way around. I...

    Well maybe but if the ECU is bad or intermittent in an ICE bike or the injector sensors are flakey or their are electrical issues then troubleshooting old school bikes grows in order of magnitude in troubleshooting too. I agree with you though Stark should be able to log into to your bike and...

    Spot on. They don't even seem to be able to get the codes themselves for what it is worth. Shipped a whole new battery and didn't solve the problem. I would get fired for something like that when the bosses got the RCA at my job at least.

    Hear you man that sucks. Have you tried replacing the power button assembly itself? The behavior sounds similar to the behavior I saw when the button(s)/switch went bad. I replaced the whole thing it's like 60 bucks from Stark. I actually bought 2 cuz I am not losing a weekend again for that...

    Power lights

    You might see a violet or yellow light led from time to time. That means there is a firmware update available. Likely you will go to 12 seconds after that update. I am not sure if Stark publishes release notes, it would be good if they did, so users could know if a firmware update causes...

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

    I would definitely recommend a hard shutdown in a shared public garage in any shared living situation say like a townhouse/condo or apt complex. The fire risk and potential for problems is just too high to do otherwise.

    Problems with Charging

    Yikes good catch. I have switched over to charging my bike from solar with an EcoFlow. I have some shared E I could use, but was worried of knocking out other's garage door openers/lighting since it services more than me.

    That is worrying with the hot summer upon us here on the East Coast US at least. Dying on a gnarly hill climb in 90 degree weather with humidity sucks --been there done that. I was thinking it might be your battery rather than your motor. The motor is liquid cooled the battery is air-cooled...

    Stark Varg rear brake

    I have been really happy with the Stark footbrake. I think an advantage for some riders is less activity on the bars (no clutch or extra hand brake) with controls especially in the gnarl. I am comfortable with handbrakes on my MTBs they are light and self powered, but I like all hands (and...

    I have posted in a few spots about the power button, it is very susceptible to dirt intrusion and will cause undefined behavior once it starts to stick (like leaving you dead way out in the woods). It is very easy to do too. One get off and your handlebars go deep into soft terrain or mud and...

    Typically yes it can be rolled back. But if the update causes damage to physical parts say like a bus or a chip (usually by overheating) then it is toast. BTW just to be clear the programming causes an issue in the circuitry. Remember firmware can often be directly controlling hardware and...

    Tunability - Subscription or Deception

    I bought my Stark through a legit dealer I am not doing mailorder for a purchase over 10k for a physical product from an overseas company with little US presence --I am old school like that. I bought a KTM from the same dealer in 2020 and both purchases were equivalent and smooth as silk. Can't...

    That the batteries went bad after a firmware update is highly suspicious and points to software rather than hardware. Somebody likely mucked up their Arm assembly code optimization. Been there done that.

    Is 80 HP Bullsh*t ?

    EZ one there. They suck. I replaced mine with IRC heavy duty. The plastic ones lasted about 4 rides in the trail and enduro. They did not like hard log crossings at all. On a positive note thought, the Pirellis are surprisingly good and I am keeping them on at least till they are worn out...
