I don't see why there is a need for a clutch. Any control should be with the throttle itself and having in intervening device (which is essentially an additional throttle controller) means more need for action on the part of the rider which I find unnecessary. I know folks are in love with...

How about asking that dealer if you can attend the zoom call with Stark --I sure as hell would if I had been without my bike for as long as you have (demand it man don't let them off the hook the dealer or Stark). Most of us here are just trying to figure out why this is happening to you that's...

Agreed. You are right. I think the only thing stopping folks is the warranty. Once the warranty is up everything will be pulled apart and up on youtube for all DIY'ers to fix their own bikes. Warranty introduces a ripple here in the US at least. By providing a warranty the company gains a...

Bro that is completely unfair. Many of us use our bikes all the time and are regular dirtriders. I use my Stark for mostly hard enduro and treat it no differently than my KTM 300 or my WR450F. I don't ride MX anymore but all my machines get severe beatings in the gnarl on a regular basis...

I just don't think your dealer is being honest with you or looking out for you. There are numerous cases of Stark shipping multiple expensive parts. Is your dealer an authorized Stark dealer? If Amex works like other credit cards your dispute claim will would likely go against the seller who...

How would you be burning a dealer who won't do your warranty work after selling you a bike? They should have a legit reason or not. They can't just cry it is Stark's fault and their dealer rep should be able to back up or deny any story they have. The only way your dealer could get burned...

On another thread I asked this same OP to post the dealer's name and got no response. It seemed to me since the OP was posting about Stark the dealer in question should be named as well. But the OP never did that which made suspicious about this whole story at least without more context.

I am grateful that folks were willing to take the chance as super early adopters and made it possible for the rest of us to purchase through the channel --don't mean to sound unappreciative of the risk you took. What I am railing against is that companies that use the online route to increase...

At least here in the US generally reps will not handle anything to do with sales to the consumer. Here you would likely have to sell it yourself or trade it in (and there is no guarantee of trade up). I strongly advise friends on any motorcycle (E or ICE) to go through a dealership in the US if...

I agree something doesn't sound right here and there is missing context. If I was the OP I would take the bike back to the dealer and demand they address this. It is unlikely that Stark would address the dealership directly it would more likely be the dealer rep. There has always been a...

Agreed. But here in the states most dealers have a Rep who they contact about any of that (like my dealer did when there were problems with my paperwork). The Rep can often clear these things up quickly with the US group especially if there is a pissed off customer. I know that wouldn't work...

You buy from a dealer that dealer should get the job done for you, what is there to sympathize with? They sell you a 13k bike and roll their eyes when you bring it back with problems and you sympathize? Doesn't make sense buddy. If you have a dealer and your bike is under warranty why do you...

That shouldn't matter to the consumer --the dealer didn't hang a sign on the bike that said manufacturer or importer sucks when they took the 13k from him. The dealer in this case could likely make the situation right and should. No excuses for that IMHO. Your case is different you are a direct...

Can you post the dealership's name?

"Finally the FIM allowed the Vargs on track but with some severe restrictions on power and additional weight, facts which Taddy has been understandably vocal about in what is supposedly open class racing. The first time we saw Blazusiak on track in anger on the Varg was the Indoor Enduro of...

I thought the core of this story was the modifications that were required to the Stark after Taddy had gotten his previous second place. An increase in weight and a lowering of horsepower was required and it changed the behavior of the bike IIRC.

There is a dealership in the middle that is different. As it has been portrayed, the dealer and the reps should be helping him first line, this is not the same as a direct ship. "Eye rolling" passing the buck, whining after they sold the bike is how dealerships earn the title of stealerships...

It is not acceptable that there is "eye rolling" by a dealer who sold you the bike and made money --they are dogging you it is their problem they should address it ASAP. What kind of dealer who sold a product does that to a paying customer? --who they were more than happy to sell the bike to...

Stark has changed the design of the bolt. It now comes with a 13mm head. If you get a new bolt make sure you ask for the new design or they might send you the old one.

I agree with @F451. I too have had a few frustrating experiences with some of the online staff but most of them are really good in a thankless job. They are sensitive to harsh language for sure. Almost all my interactions have been with email and they have been ok. Over all Stark as has been...
