    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    I'm exhausted researching this myself as well. What I gather after searching the internet, looking through the racetech bible, talking to a few friends who know KYB sss very well and a few suspension shops is that everyone has a separate answer. But this is my approach as I am in the same...

    Torque specs

    Isn't the measurement supposed to be right at the end of the plastic chain guide? I know they have the sprocket a lot closer to the swingarm pivot but that 32mm makes me super nervous. I guess from always adjusting to KTM's specs. It is also weird the Stark manual says to use the 3 finger...

    Enduro Mods

    Here's the latest to my Varg mods. I will certainly have a few iterations to get it perfect. And by then I'm sure one of the big companies will have something available. I feel much better dropping my bike on the hills and watching it slide around. I added 1/4" felt to the inside of the...

    Torque specs

    Yeah I had to use my impact gun and hold the brake. Was on tight for sure!

    Torque specs

    I'm glad you pointed this out. I actually could not find that spec anywhere and resorted to my Ktm 300 spec just to give myself a ballpark figure. Thanks for catching this and correcting it. There are also some contradictory specs like on the chain tension. It says to use the 3 finger rule...

    Torque specs

    I made this PDF to have all the typically needed specs in one place. The manual is not very good at listing them all in one place so here it is. Just print in landscape and trim to around 6" height and it will glue right inside the lid of the included toolbox.

    starks 6hr range may be possible

    I just had my first real ride on the Stark yesterday and I was shocked at how much battery the hill climbs use. You can almost watch the % go down as you ride. These are not long hills and I'd say the average drop was 2-4% per hill! Other than that the battery does quite well. One thing I...

    Stark Varg swing arm

    Yup, just ordered a few. I was trying to see if there was a supplier in the USA but I guess not. Thanks.

    Stark Varg swing arm

    Sorry if this has been covered already but I'm wondering if anyone knows if the Stark Varg swing arm is a KTM component or is there a KTM swingarm guard that works on the Varg? It seems that maybe the ktm 450sx shares the same dims as the Varg. Anyone know for sure?

    Stark Varg insurance in the Bay Area

    Latest update. I tried filling out the info on Progressive's website and I had no issues. I'm not sure why talking to a real living person would be so difficult.

    Enduro Mods

    I thought it might be nice to have all this in one place. I also added tubliss, the warp9 kick stand, 13 tooth sprocket, gummy tires, turned in the steering stops and a few other small things I left off the list. Suspension is really the main thing to have to be changed but that's a whole...

    Stark Varg insurance in the Bay Area

    One thought just occured to me that maybe because I just bought the bike and don't even have a sticker yet that somehow the new VIN hasn't fully gone through the system at the DMV. Is that even a possibility? In the past this has never been an issue. Hell, even getting my kit Shelby cobra...

    Insuring electric dirt bikes

    My response from progressive, GEICO and foremost has been the same. If the bike doesn't show up in their pick list they will only offer liability. Farmers did say if it's not registered, assuming that means for street use, that the home policy would cover it. Of course that deductible is...

    Stark Varg insurance in the Bay Area

    I just got a call back from Progressive apologizing for not being able to help. They said anything that doesn't come up in the pick list they can't offer comprehensive insurance on, only liability. This is also what farmers/foremost said. Geico will insure it but it's so expensive I would...

    Stark Varg insurance in the Bay Area

    Do you have an off-road policy? I'm waiting to get a response from a different agent tomorrow but the pricing I got from them and Geico are through the roof. Like $400+ per year. Not even worth it. Could be our locations are different so they have varying policies and pricing available...

    Stark Varg insurance in the Bay Area

    Ive never had any issues insuring my 2021 300 xcw. Using foremost through farmers which costs $75/year for ful replacement cost of the bike plus a small amount of liability. I didn't even think about the stark Varg being an issue with insurance but so far no one can pull up the VIN. Tried...
