    EX/R Conversion Kit

    Liquid has these taillight supports, possibly a recent addition.

    Want to buy EX / EXR/SM Lower Headlight Mount

    Ancient history maybe, but Liquid now has SM lower headlight mounts in quantity. These are different from the EX/EXR, pics below (MXR on L, SM on RH top, EXR RH bottom) & in eBay listing: The SM and EXR brackets look nearly the same to me except for the fender mounting 'ears' in the middle...

    Want to buy Factory Alta left hand rear brake kit

    Thanks for the pic, and I agree, probably best to rebuild. That piston and the surrounding area looks truly baked. I believe a 26mm rebuild kit for a '13-'22 KTM 250 SX-F should work, but I've never done it myself so I don't know for sure. It'll be good to get rid of every last drop of burned...

    Want to buy Factory Alta left hand rear brake kit

    Yes, pretty much. If the wheel's still on the bike w/pads out, see if you can move the LH caliper side/pad holder side-to-side - it should move easily with a greasy feel. If it doesn't (and going from memory)... with the wheel off, I believe I pulled the RH side of both rubber boots off the...

    Want to buy Factory Alta left hand rear brake kit

    Hey, I've overfilled too, at both ends - I think enough slopped out that I got lucky with the drag thing. Before going to the trouble of rebuilding, I'd check the caliper guide rods for grease - I wouldn't be surprised if it's burnt to a crisp, leaving 'dead-grease glue' on the rods, As long...

    Want to buy Factory Alta left hand rear brake kit

    Fwiw... while adjusting my R brake I went too far and it dragged a little, but I figured it'd be OK for one ride. Nope! Within 1/2 mile the bike slowed down to a crawl, and I had to stop. :( Pulling up hard on the pedal made enough of a difference so I could ride home, but everything got so...

    What is everyone's revised delivery dates?

    Wow, outstanding! Like your own personal Press Week. :) Pretty amazing to be a USA 'brand ambassador' for Stark.

    Alta MX Cone Valve / Trax Suspension Swap

    Imo 10mm shorter should work just fine, and you can always lower the forks slightly if needed - guess I'm repeating myself, sorry about that. :) I prefer more straight-line stability over quicker steering, so for me dropping the rear a bit works well.

    Varg spring rates ?

    This spring calculator has helped me out many times, for both straight-rate and progressive springs. I believe most MC springs are chrome silicon for longevity, but I've plugged in all the material types and the results don't change much. The kangaroo bugs me a little. :)

    Varg spring rates ?

    If I were Stark, I'd inform all buyers of the spring rates their bikes would be coming with well in advance of delivery. For non-suspension-tuners this would provide critical info for suspension shops down the road, and shock/fork tweakers could advise Stark of their preferences & replace...

    General Varg Beater

    +1 ! This would also allow at least the possibility of a charger/temp controller, which would connect to both charging and cooling systems. If it were me I'd look at a Peltier setup, which would allow both cooling and warming for the cold-weather riders. I wonder what charge rate could be...

    Varg to compete @ British MX championships

    Philip, I'm going to butcher your sentence - sorry :) I believe there will be very high interest among the OEMs in making electric dirt bikes seem less competitive, especially if they are kept in a "support class" and not allowed to compete at the top level with the OEM's ICE bikes (which they...

    Real first picture of the Stark grey

    +1. I probably would've chosen gloss black if they offered it.

    €50 million investment in Stark Future by Royal Enfield parent company

    +1. And Zero sold @ 3.5K street-only or dual-purpose electric bikes in 2020 & were on track to sell @ 4.5K in 2022; apparently many considered them viable enough.

    Stark 'demo'

    Here's what I just received from Stark: "You will receive a final checkout notification a few weeks prior to the delivery of your bike. On checkout, you’ll be able to choose home delivery and assemble the bike yourself or dealer delivery where they’ll have it ready for you to pick up, at no...
