As @AL_V says in the US resellers have flexibility to markup or markdown depending on supply/demand. Having a corporation fix a price and make everybody pay the same would hamper the free market in the US and also disrupt inventory control especially if local markets changed (NY's economic...

I am not sure on the margins and it depends where you live I suppose. Having a dealer network is more than just service and markups though. A good dealer network can do localized marketing and outreach, especially to folks who are not early adopters and willing to make the change to a non-ice...

Interesting. The idea of a clutch to modulate power definitely still lingers even among the elite riders. Well designed fly-by-wire systems actually give the rider more control over power and the control plane, and as the systems get better and better the whole notion of a clutch will go away...

This should be pretty easy mod wise for Stark. The bike is already pretty good for enduro with a few user mods. Love Taddy Vamos!!!:ricky:

I think the Stark is a pretty good for a European bike. Compared to KTM and friends, Beta, and the host other European machines (many of which I have owned) it is downright head and shoulders way better. But it still has Euroquirks some I can live with some I can't stand it is what it is...

@grayhixon what was the final outcome with your bike?

Ya I have powerwashed my bikes since the 80s since I have mostly lived in New England where it is quite rainy --hence the name-- and where enduro riding is mostly restricted to swampland and unusable polluted post industrial wetland. But over the years back to the 80s I have always been much...

It is not just Stark, most ICE bikes also don't recommend powerwashing either. I agree with you that we have to do it, but most manufacturers don't want to support it since who knows what pressures could be used. We just have to careful and realize if we blast something like electrics or...

Did you charge your battery and try it again? Also, did you try to dry out the power button assembly? It connects under the front number plate you could try to make sure those contacts are dry?

This is what Stark support says: "This is a plastic cover that doesn't protect anything special. You can glue it if you want it straight again."(y)

Wow. I would have never known that. I worked for Arm from 2018-2022 and visited Cambridge many times. Love the town particularly when the company is putting me up.:) The UK and Europe in general has an awesome motorcycle culture --gotta love it having chargers is the bomb.(y)

Oh a track near Cambridge with an Enduro Loop.... Damn. Maybe I should have stayed with Arm and tried to get a transfer.:ricky:

It would be pretty hard to really clean a dirtbike following those instructions. Maybe if ridden on a dry dirt track that would be ok with light dirt. A lot of riding for me means hard enduro mud and grunge and would not be easy to remove like that. You have to be extremely careful (with any...

It looks like the swap battery is 4kw

Thanks!!!

I understand you are ticked off but if the housing market collapses and your house goes down in value by 20% (like happened in 2008) would you expect the seller to refund the loss you took? Investing in anything always include risk. Plus, you have ridden your bike and even if Stark arbitrarily...

Yikes!!:ricky:

Hi All, Anyone know what this small seal or grommet is or does? It is on the right side (throttle side) near the oil res and is not seated and I can't tell if it should be or not.

Awesome congrats on your new ride!! I think you will love it more than you even expect. And I am almost certain you won't miss a clutch at all. The ride by wire capability of the Stark is mind altering. Side stand is very mediocre I am surprised they didn't ditch it since they have been making...

Tesla is large enough that they can lobby for a government bailout and cling on to some of their high prices. One thing that distinguished Stark was its ability to stay close to ICE competition on price/value. A smaller startup type of venture in a very limited market like Stark has to adjust to...
