    Stark Varg brake pads

    I noticed that the Stark site is only carrying the rear Galfer pads. They have no option now for front pads at all. Having a fair amount of experience with LHRBs on various bikes through the years I can confidently say that the Toyo/Brembo compound is a must. You can typically find these on...

    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    I'm not sure what image I named that but if it's the one with the text overlaid then yes that's what I currently have in my bike. I did technically remove 1 more face shim bringing it to 7. But I think 8 is good. You don't want to go too far and might be better trying different springs first...

    Stark Varg: Gearing for optimal range

    Are the stock MX bikes still shipping with a 14 sprocket where the Enduro models ship with 13? If so that kind of says something right there. I ordered the enduro but it came with a 14 which the dealer later told me was the wrong one for my bike. I don't think it really makes that big of a...

    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    I am very happy with it. I weigh 190-195 or so with all my gear. I ride slower technical stuff and ideally it would be just a tad softer in front. But it's light-years better than stock. Feel free to PM me if you run into trouble.

    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    I wouldn't have the slightest idea where to start. I was fortunate enough to have a few friends that spent years tuning their YZ's for hard enduro. They both said you really don't need to mess with the mid valve for our needs. So I didn't :) The base valve (upper valve assembly, used to be...

    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    I was too lazy to dive into the midvalve. But I think you're right. At a certain point it's unbalanced. I'm not pretending to be a pro. Just sharing what i did and it made a totally different bike I also think for riding hard enduro vs mx it's less critical to get all aspects dialed in. We...

    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    Yes it has been awesome. It's still not quite as plush as the 300 XCW I had but in a way it's also nice to handle the faster hits. I did remove 1 more fork shim brining them down to 7. I am also a bit lighter than when I started this. At this point I feel I need to drop the fork rate to .42...

    Looking for 3d model of upper triple clamp.

    If nothing else shove a small piece of cloth down there. You really should not use a pressure washer. I did all the time on my KTM and never had a single issue. On this bike there are all kinds of areas that don't agree with water. Try spraying Pam or cooking spray on your plastics. It's...

    Looking for 3d model of upper triple clamp.

    This is gen 1. Gen 2 is made from TPU which actually turned out to be too flexible. The holes need slits to be able to slide the wires in as the connectors are obviously way bigger than the wires. I may try a 2 part thing that locks together. It's purpose is mainly to be able to wash the...

    Looking for 3d model of upper triple clamp.

    Yeah I'm fluent in Rhino 3d and decided to draw it up manually. My original idea was more complicated and required a more accurate model but I got a solution now. Thanks.

    Varg ride log data consistency issue

    It seems the ride logs over time are becoming more inaccurate. I took someone else's advise on the Facebook group and tried deleting almost all of my ride entries. This was supposed to speed things up. What I noticed was that the overall ride time/mileage for the bike changed also. What used...

    Looking for 3d model of upper triple clamp.

    I just tried reality scan, not a dedicated scanner. If it were for motion graphics it would be fine. The UV mapping is near perfect. It's really pretty amazing actually. But when you take the mapping away, the geometry is so complicated I don't even want to mess with it. Honestly I could do...

    Looking for 3d model of upper triple clamp.

    My 3d scans are horribly cluttered with unwanted geometry. I thought I would ask in the off chance someone had a model they wouldn't mind sharing with me. Stark, of course, was unwilling to share that.

    Title from Stark delays?

    This is exactly why I spent a tiny bit more to get my bike through a dealer. I had my title and green sticker in 1 week. I've not heard very many good experiences using Ekho. But I thought that was just because initially they didnt have an option for Stark in their pulldown menu.

    Chain slack

    That also confused me. Their fingers must be really thin over there. Either way due to the location of the front sprocket relative to the swingarm pivot the slack can be reduced a fair amount compared to a typical KTM. I am around 1.25". But if you're really paranoid remove the shock to see...

    Any tricks to drain battery down for storage?

    I know the pump runs when you're riding the bike but there's something that doesn't sit right with me leaving the bike in neutral for hours on end just to drain it. This is definitely one of the major annoyances with electric bikes so far. Funny how it's not enough battery when you want it and...

    Any tricks to drain battery down for storage?

    With the rainy weather recently I have not been able to ride and have charged the bike to 100% thinking I would get out the next morning. I am now not feeling well either and it's too much to go ride around our neighborhood to drain 50% of the battery. Are there any tricks to safely drain the...

    Enduro Mods

    All that plastic and still no protection of the gear case cover for when you lay the bike over or hit something head on in a rock garden. The bottom protection looks great but what I ride my bike is constantly sliding down rock faces and being flipped around on hill climbs I didn't make. The...

    DMV sent me notification I need insurance on the SV, WTF???

    Something doesn't sound right. How did you register the bike? Did you do it yourself or though a dealer? Part of the reason I spent a little more through a dealer was so I didn't have to deal with any of the BS on getting a green sticker. It came in a week. I did get insurance through...
