Yes but my calipers are SAE. I did this for myself not anyone else so I didn't care. It's really to compare to each other more than anything. Nothing done to mid valve.

This is basically what I did. There are 20 face shims. From my understanding all the bikes have the same shim stack, it is just the springs and clicker settings that change between the soft/medium/hard options. I brought it down to 8 followed by a crossover made from the last small washer...

I suppose I should post everything I did. Give me a moment to collect all that data and I'll post. I'm reluctant to give advice as I am not trying to pretend to be a suspension professional. But I will try to show clearly what shims I moved around. The rest is on you to make sure you grind...

I tried using Pam cooking spray on the fender areas as to eliminate the need for a pressure washer. We ride in a area with nasty clay. It would take 30-45 minutes of spraying to clean the bike. I am impressed with how well the cooking spray works for releasing caked on mud/clay. Less washing...

I did remove it. Here it is again.

It's funny on all my KTM's I never really messed with the clickers at all. I just rode it and didn't feel like the range made much of a change. On the KYB I feel a few clicks here and there. Same with my Mountain bike, I could tell 2 clicks just walking it around and pressing down on the...

I re-valved my shock and tried it yesterday. Wow! What a difference. This might be better than my KTM XCW. I agree it turns the bike into one of the most enjoyable enduro machines I've ever ridden. If anyone would like to know what I did to try doing this themselves I can share the shim...

@fsfs. What's your take on any potential side effects from sealing the connectors, pcb, casings with a sealant like rtv silicone? That of course excludes any switch/light surfaces. Does this inhibit or promote long term corrosion? I think preventing water from getting below the upper triple...

I say not worth the money. It might take a tip over better than the stock pot metal but if you're riding in rocks the probability of hitting something head on is high! I made a simple plate out of 1/8" abs with 1/4" felt behind it that guides rocks over and around the case. So far I have put...

The initial blinking light and not going into neutral, etc solved itself over a few days time. One can only conclude this was a water intrusion issue. After 4-5 days of drying out it seemed stable enough to go ride it again. So the bike worked prior to my sealing the switch. However I would...

I ended up taking the switch apart and putting rtv sealant over the solder joints on the back of the pcb as well as a very thin layer around the perimeter of the 2 case halves. I also lubed the o rings thoroughly on the 3 buttons. AND, I shoved a bunch of medium density foam in the top triple...

Update from Stark on what that green flashing red light sorta means. The answer is unclear but they just sent out a new switch. "Thank you for reaching us again. Your control switch needs to be replace because is generating an electrical false contact most likely because of water, dirt or a...

The Stark is an amazing machine, possibly the best bike I've ever owned (when it works). But after 16 hours and having no bike to ride or anyone to call up and get a simple answer from it is clear that unless Stark invests in local service centers they are not going to be able to handle the...

It's an amazing machine but I honestly see the unfortunate end for this company if washing the bike with a hose results in a week of "can you send us a video?" Every company has growing pains but I fear Stark is going the way of every successful product, their "amazing" customer service is...

At the risk of asking another stupid question I am at a loss for what to do on a holiday weekend when Stark is not available. I am color blind in the yellow/green range of colors and misinterpreted a green/red error code for a yellow software update. Doing the update button hold sequence does...

I have to add that I think it's a major design flaw to have a huge opening on the upper triple clamp that feeds water to a somewhat sealed wiring box below. What on earth were they thinking??? They might as well make the box open beneath so it at least drains. My solution will be to make a...

I thought 300ml was the bottom limit? Are you sure you don't mean 340? I guess it will still work being lower than the manufacturers limits. I don't know if there are any lubrication risks with a lower level. Either way glad you got it sorted. Now it's my turn to experience an error code...

I finally got my forks in a good spot. The shock spring is right but needs to have a few shims removed. I am 200lbs with gear and here's where I'm at so far: Went from the stock .48 to .44 springs. Outer oil levels is at 310ml from 355ml. I have 8 face shims, crossover to 2 face shims as...

Yes, to be able to remove the phone entirely to keep it out of harms way when riding hard enduro or in your case run a dedicated mapping app. Even if a loose indication of SOC that's all I would need to not get stuck in the middle of nowhere due to running out of battery. You're right though...
