    I understand completely on all points.

    Ok, but any Stark dealer should be able to handle the warranty for the bike weather you bought it from that dealer or not.

    Take that sucker back to the dealer you bought it from and let them deal with it. It's too damn hot to ride anyway.

    It really amazes me that for all this tech they don't have anything to generate fault codes that can be retrieved by the customer.

    Tunability - Subscription or Deception

    I believe there is a technology title wave headed for Stark and the competition will be riding it and offering it as standard equipment. You say what competition? Give it two years...or less.

    Good stuff. I'm not going to buy a part that all ready has a problem but I understand your need. I think Stark will likely redesign numerous components of the bike in the near future and the aftermarket will grow also. I can see a "Top Ten tips" or "Prepping your Varg for Off Road" articles...

    To be clear, I don't believe the battery itself is bad, rather the software/hardware that contained in those cases. The BMS would likely show if a battery cell(s) had a problem. BTW my battery was shipped out of TX where Stark has a distribution center located.

    I think Stark DOES want them back but right now I think they have lost sight of them. Also they have to arrange for pick up and shipping of the units. By the time Stark gets their act together to bring them back they will likely write them off as the tech will render the obsolete soon for a...

    Indeed it would be but Stark said it would void my warrant but how would they know unless they call for the battery back? I think they will probably forget about the battery but with batteries going for $3500 I would think some E bike tech shop would dig into the guts of these and start playing...

    Varg suspension

    I'm not going to go through all I did but I ride Arkansas rocks and roots (2nd gear type of trail) so plush is key. Two things; one the preload is way too much on the forks (10mm). There are a couple ways to fix this but I took the quick and dirty way: I cut the plastic spring perch down 5mm...

    Tim, I had a similar experience but not exactly the same. I believe Stark has experienced software/hardware issues but what those issues are I don't know. I only know that much of the BMS brains of the bike are contained within the battery cases. A new battery solved my problem and it arrived...

    Racetorx Brake Line Routing

    Well I was able to reroute the line to use up most of the excess. I had to trim part of the inner fender for the line coming out of the master cylinder to clear.

    Racetorx Brake Line Routing

    I'm in the middle of installing a dual rear brake system from Racetorx. I'm using the OEM rear brake. I have more brake line than I need ( probably 6-8 inches). Also line routing up from the pedal M/C is running into the rear fender plastics. Anyone else have these kind of issues?

    RaceTorx dual rear brake kit

    Doesn't seem too bad. I don't know why RaceTorx doesn't include directions with their kit. On my 2 strokes I would start the engine and the vibration would help bring air bubbles up the line. Wonder when Stark will come out with electric brakes? :D

    RaceTorx dual rear brake kit

    I removed the OEM rear brake pedal brake and replaced it with the LHRB but now I want both so I bought the I'm adding a RaceTorx dual rear brake kit. Any tip on installing this kit?

    Stark Varg charger housing kit

    Does the OEM stand (without the charger) flex a much when putting the Varg on it?

    Electric Dirt Bike Specific Tires?

    With the power and power delivery characteristics of the electric motor is there a superior rear tire currently for electric (DIRT) bikes? Should there be? EV autos and trucks have them but much of the reason is the extra weight they carry.

    Top speed Stark Varg

    Interesting. I guess until there rework the track's power issues they don't need to worry much about it.

    Top speed Stark Varg

    Why do they ban E bikes? If it's not about safety (battery fires, lack of noise) then you probably all ready have your answer as to what is faster.
