    3 issues with my Stark Varg in 1 week.

    Indeed it would be but Stark said it would void my warrant but how would they know unless they call for the battery back? I think they will probably forget about the battery but with batteries going for $3500 I would think some E bike tech shop would dig into the guts of these and start playing...

    Varg suspension

    I'm not going to go through all I did but I ride Arkansas rocks and roots (2nd gear type of trail) so plush is key. Two things; one the preload is way too much on the forks (10mm). There are a couple ways to fix this but I took the quick and dirty way: I cut the plastic spring perch down 5mm...

    3 issues with my Stark Varg in 1 week.

    Tim, I had a similar experience but not exactly the same. I believe Stark has experienced software/hardware issues but what those issues are I don't know. I only know that much of the BMS brains of the bike are contained within the battery cases. A new battery solved my problem and it arrived...

    Racetorx Brake Line Routing

    Well I was able to reroute the line to use up most of the excess. I had to trim part of the inner fender for the line coming out of the master cylinder to clear.

    Racetorx Brake Line Routing

    I'm in the middle of installing a dual rear brake system from Racetorx. I'm using the OEM rear brake. I have more brake line than I need ( probably 6-8 inches). Also line routing up from the pedal M/C is running into the rear fender plastics. Anyone else have these kind of issues?

    RaceTorx dual rear brake kit

    Doesn't seem too bad. I don't know why RaceTorx doesn't include directions with their kit. On my 2 strokes I would start the engine and the vibration would help bring air bubbles up the line. Wonder when Stark will come out with electric brakes? :D

    RaceTorx dual rear brake kit

    I removed the OEM rear brake pedal brake and replaced it with the LHRB but now I want both so I bought the I'm adding a RaceTorx dual rear brake kit. Any tip on installing this kit?

    Does the OEM stand (without the charger) flex a much when putting the Varg on it?

    Electric Dirt Bike Specific Tires?

    With the power and power delivery characteristics of the electric motor is there a superior rear tire currently for electric (DIRT) bikes? Should there be? EV autos and trucks have them but much of the reason is the extra weight they carry.

    Top speed Stark Varg

    Interesting. I guess until there rework the track's power issues they don't need to worry much about it.

    Top speed Stark Varg

    Why do they ban E bikes? If it's not about safety (battery fires, lack of noise) then you probably all ready have your answer as to what is faster.

    Top speed Stark Varg

    This guy gets pretty good speed (109mph) out of his Super Moto set up.

    Top speed Stark Varg

    The Battery Management System (BMS) may have a role in this too as it is responsible for keeping those batteries zipping along at peak performance by monitoring, communicating and protecting the system. All sorts of BMS variables are involved such as protocols, State of Charge, State of Health...

    [UPDATE] Firmware v1.0.76 & App v1.0.108

    Yes, I was having issues and it turned out I had too replace the battery. I think the software or hardware went bad. But anyway they told me to uninstall the old app then install the new app. Also get a good 4G/5G signal and give it time to load.

    Owner's Review Stark Varg vs Alta MXR

    My major concern with the Alta would be the no-longer-made-electronic parts availability.

    [UPDATE] Firmware v1.0.76 & App v1.0.108

    Yes I received the Stark Email Saturday. Stark is replacing the battery but they don't specifically say what is wrong. It could be a bad cell or a component other than a cell inside the cases causing the issue. There is no advertised method for checking for fault codes at the user level at...

    [UPDATE] Firmware v1.0.76 & App v1.0.108

    Stark emailed me today and said it's the battery. Sending me a new one. I don't know if the update had anything to do with it but it sure was coincidental.
