Those are Ti color, not actual Ti unfortunately.

Did you have to cut the bike side cable to re-route it through your side plate?

The docking station is supposed to have a wireless charging setup for the phone based on Stark’s literature (page 67 of the owner’s manual for example)?

Once someone shows more interest than just poking at the rulebook it'll get dealt with. Most likely a couple rounds as a provisional exception then next season firmed up classing for that machine. We've already got gas cheater bikes (Kramers being allowed in Supersport/Superbike, I'm looking...

The local org used to run 'mostly' CCS rules, which classed e-bikes in by batt voltage... aka not enough info to actually estimate a machine's comparative performance. They've since gone to their own ruleset and sanctioning and dropped e-bikes entirely. This all happened before the Varg was an...

I really want to do a proper drag race of an FS450, 500XC W (Machines I've already road and supermoto raced) and a Varg Alpha actually geared for 110mph and see how they do over the course of 1/2 of a mile, rolling start from 30mph. My gut says access to a gearbox will make the difference up...

Stark gave me the specs as shipped, missing a kickstand and it's setup for 70-70kg instead of 65-70kg. IIRC those two weights are sprung the same, it's just starting comp/rebound settings that's different? Edit: Oh, handbrake, so bit of actual time required to swap to footbrake.

I've not seen it in person yet, and the dealer noted they've been getting Stark parts nearly daily so they expect to have things on hand today or tomorrow. Edit: Setting up my account with Stark, wtf format do they want my phone number in, site keeps saying it's wrong but won't show an example...

Checked in, my machine is in a crate, waiting on parts from Stark. My hunch based on VIN that it was an existing bike already in the US was correct, one detail from my order was off so Stark is sending the parts to make it match my request. Maybe by this weekend... MAYBE...

One big difference between the breathers on something like a YZ250 vs the Stark is the anticipated internal temps. On a gas burning engine it is expected and desired that certain areas get up above the boiling point of water. This drives out moisture from the system via the breathers as you...

Seals dislike pressure differentials.

Those wouldn't be ideal, they're a simple check valve that water can actually migrate past, and can also put the gearbox under a light vacuum in some situations. What would be better would be something like that using GoreTex or other water impermiable membranes. Those will allow air pressure...

Sounds like a good use case for a GoreTex water barrier if the vent passage is baffled decently enough to avoid said barrier from getting oil contaminated?

I'm guessing that adapter is hard set for 240v with a fixed resistance on the control line, some chargers will just roll with that, guessing others want to see a full proper handshake sequence?

Coming from two stroke SM, I hoping the transition is easier for me ‘cause what is engine braking anyways? I’m also looking forward to not having to dance on that shift lever.

Conformal coatings are pretty standard across multiple industries, as is potting, and they do approximately nothing to slow down reverse engineering. They can be removed with the right application of chemicals leaving no trace, and no damage to the underlying boards.

KTM fitment oversized rotor caliper bracket I assume?

I wonder if my machine will have the updated pegs, suspect it'll still have the wonky kickstand bracket that's due to be improved any day now?

Right, so, this appears to be moving faster than anticipated: Email from Stark saying my bike (VIN 4003) has left from the US Warehouse, ETA to dealer of 5 to 7 days.
