The Stark is an amazing machine, possibly the best bike I've ever owned (when it works). But after 16 hours and having no bike to ride or anyone to call up and get a simple answer from it is clear that unless Stark invests in local service centers they are not going to be able to handle the...

It's an amazing machine but I honestly see the unfortunate end for this company if washing the bike with a hose results in a week of "can you send us a video?" Every company has growing pains but I fear Stark is going the way of every successful product, their "amazing" customer service is...

At the risk of asking another stupid question I am at a loss for what to do on a holiday weekend when Stark is not available. I am color blind in the yellow/green range of colors and misinterpreted a green/red error code for a yellow software update. Doing the update button hold sequence does...

I have to add that I think it's a major design flaw to have a huge opening on the upper triple clamp that feeds water to a somewhat sealed wiring box below. What on earth were they thinking??? They might as well make the box open beneath so it at least drains. My solution will be to make a...

I thought 300ml was the bottom limit? Are you sure you don't mean 340? I guess it will still work being lower than the manufacturers limits. I don't know if there are any lubrication risks with a lower level. Either way glad you got it sorted. Now it's my turn to experience an error code...

I finally got my forks in a good spot. The shock spring is right but needs to have a few shims removed. I am 200lbs with gear and here's where I'm at so far: Went from the stock .48 to .44 springs. Outer oil levels is at 310ml from 355ml. I have 8 face shims, crossover to 2 face shims as...

Yes, to be able to remove the phone entirely to keep it out of harms way when riding hard enduro or in your case run a dedicated mapping app. Even if a loose indication of SOC that's all I would need to not get stuck in the middle of nowhere due to running out of battery. You're right though...

In short do you feel that their graph is accurate?

There's got to be a "safe" way to tap into the battery voltage somewhere and run a small display. That's really all we need.

I run my varg around 45-48Hp 95% of the time. I noticed on the stats tab if you scroll down it shows your actual power usage chart. On my chart I don't see any point of the ride where I used over 25Hp. The main thing I am curious to know is if I am saving any battery by running at a lower Hp...

Save your money getting two seats. The stock foam is way too stiff. I have the seat concepts soft/comfort seat on my XCW and it's top notch. But I have to say I am very pleased with the Guts foam and cover. Given how hard the suspension is we need everything we can get to soften the ride...

Re stacker is good to get a ballpark of what's going to do what. Nothing will really determine the way it feels like just going at it and trying. The other thing is I was not prepared with a surplus of shims to adjust as needed. Initially I was only planning to remove 50% of the face shims...

I totally agree and have rotated the throttle forward to make the wire below the line of the bark busters. I also did trim a tiny amount off the tube end, mainly so there was no risk of interference with the bark busters where it goes inside the bar ends. I am 6'3" and am used to riding with...

A quick note that I just purchased some Protaper Windham bars since the docking station cord has no slack to add risers. The bars are perfect except for one flaw. They dont F-ing work! The Stark specs on the control distance says they are 150mm and that is very wrong. They are more like...

I have a few friends that are self-proclaimed KYB gurus and I took a leap of faith having their expertise at my disposal. I figured if I couldn't get the base valve back in I could always take it all apart and do things the "correct" way. The base valve core unscrews easily with the top triple...

I went at it last night. I was able to remove the base valves relatively easily while in the bike. I had to take off the bars though. I wouldn't recommend doing this if you're not a patient, mechanically skilled and methodical person. There are a lot of areas to mess things up at. I...

You are definitely under sprung. You need to get that right first. They should have told you to get the heavy springs. That's just my understanding from talking to a few people. I'm 200 with my gear and the best I could do was 38/104. So I can report back that taking fork oil out doesn't...

When stark sends you something like a replacement battery, motor etc and you install it yourself, is this voiding the warranty? Seems I'm seeing more and more dealers not even wanting to deal with issues on this bike. It has me a little concerned. Generally a warrantied item will only keep...

No. It's easy as can be. Just made two holes behind the cross member. I then melted away the foam so I could get a socket around the nut. If you take the skid plate off it should be pretty clear how to do this. You could even put another bolt up in front of the cross member. But 2 is...

My personal opinion is that they should leave out the fancy toolkit and eliminate the phone for a fixed data screen. That would up the profit margin right there. Most people have torque wrenches or can go buy them separately. I don't know what their actual cost is on these two items but just...
