🙂Well at least the iPhone doesn't leak oil out of every orifice like a German car...:) We have Yuppies here in the US who buy Range Rover/Jags for the prestige --who, instead of working from home, now they work from the repair shop. :lurker: And the owners of Bosch dishwashers are amazed it is...

I use mine as a charging interface for my EcoFlow. It sits on its side most of the time since the cable is not really long enough to work properly. My old Yamaha stand for my WR450f works great with the Stark for a real working stand. The Stark stand is a classic Euro (mis)design piece and...

This is rather common on European machines. It is poor attention to detail. My 2020 KTM is terrible when it comes to water sealing in almost every aspect fuel, electrical, & etc. Initially I thought Stark was going to take a different approach when they said the bike could be powerwashed but...

Stark should be able to log onto you bike and get the logs. Your bike worked fine up until you had the service done on your suspension correct? Could be water got into something with the powerwashing. Like all European bikes the Stark tends to be open to water ingress (KTM is terrible with this)...

I would check the connections under the front plate. Both the power and throttle connect in a junction box there at least on the gen 1. Since your suspension guys were likely messing with the forks it would be easy for them to bump into that junction. Also, that crawl and reverse are not...

@Drjohnsen42 Do you have any more of these left?

Thanks. I thought @Drjohnsen42's was a one off. I am interested.

Not to go too far off topic in this thread. But @Chadx could you share what you got for a battery warmer for your Stark? Custom ones are pretty expensive. Is that what you got? Thanks, @Chaconne

Are you getting help directly from Stark factory support? They should be able to log into your bike and straighten it out or at least address it. These bikes have generally been rock solid and they do have pretty good support from the factory. The bikes also come with warranties which is...

Did you actually check that it was 60 or was that in the documentation? My documentation said 60 but I got an Alpha. The dealership I got my bike from straightened out the paperwork for me. It is only a firmware upgrade to enable Alpha anyway that should be easy for them to remedy if so. Does...

Yes those Australia numbers have been around for some time. And there are US numbers are around somewhere too (I am not going to search) this topic was covered ad nauseum on Thumpertalk a few years back. Even Australia has a fairly vigorous off-road motorcycle culture probably inherited from the...

Well I hope Stark is not relying on the US market and, rather, has a plan for the European, Asian, and South American markets for the enduro model. The US likely won't be the buying power for enduro bikes that it was for the MX version. The enduro and trail riding motorcycle market in the US...

Nice. Ya if you are going to be way out with a long push a chain breaker or an install of a master link will be a good add on. Starks are tougher than KTMs but have Euro delicacy overall so ya you can go through some parts especially going alpha in the gnarl The throttle has great action but...

The flakiest thing on the Stark for me has been the power switch. They do not like mud and dirt at all and can fail when they jam. My WR450 has beautiful sealed power buttons that have never failed in 10 years of hard gnarl. The boot is part of the switch and they are incredibly reliable. I am...

You must have gotten a lemon. My Stark and the phone have been rock solid reliable. The only things I have had to change were the tire tubes and I have gone through some grips due to crashes in the gnarl. When I first got my bike I was careless with the phone holder and the phone flew out a...

Generally Blackview phones and electronics are pretty good. I have had no problems with mine on the Stark and it has taken some hard hits. Blackview makes hardened phones for this kind of application. A Samsung or iPhone are typically not good at all for the bumping, jarring, and crashing that...

Welcome!! The new pricing is great and I just think hands down the Stark is pretty damn good. There are some shortcomings like any machine but overall I am really happy and I paid the higher price. For my use case there were no sacrifices at all compared to my ICE bikes (both 4T and 2T). The...

Supply and demand can cause higher or lower here. OEMs try to stop it but they are usually overwhelmed when markets soar or crash --and that is when you find the most variation.

This is true but the "varying degree" is more like business pressure rather than an legal pressure. In fact, price fixing can be illegal in the US, though it is mostly big guys who can afford lawyers to bring cases that will pay them out. Yet we also have a tradition in the US of seeking out...

Right that is correct, I was using the state example for illustration. 2 dealers across the street from one another could give different quotes and many times in some retailing they shop each other and deliberately undercut each other's prices. Capitalist hardball is still played in many...
