    Want to buy Factory Alta left hand rear brake kit

    We used clutch master cylinders on the Alta. Now Stark has Brembo master cylinders with larger fluid reservoirs, which work better for brake application because they are less likely to become low on fluid and suck in air. But... does anyone know the Stark Brembo LHRB master cylinder piston...

    Bonnell 40hp and 60hp dirt bikes and e-bikes

    Yeah, having a no-name reduced diameter and reduced travel suspension, despite having swappable racing batteries, will relegate these bikes to non-jumping, woods riding, and a few amateur competitive events. This is a very unfortunate product decision.

    Solid Pink or is it Magenta?

    Stark Varg: Gearing for optimal range

    I see your point, you are right. I asked Grok again and the answer came out better tailored but still similar to what it said before. Its efficiency likely peaks (e.g., 94-96%) at a mid-range RPM (perhaps 5,000–7,000 RPM). https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_51db0bfb-2da9-41d5-bda3-5920f132f68e

    Stark Varg: Gearing for optimal range

    The "sweet spot" for PMSRMs, often occurs at a mid-range RPM (e.g., 3,000–6,000 RPM for automotive applications. https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_9857d3c6-b356-4851-84f9-0b97f0b9cfbb This is 30-60 km/h for the Stark Varg. What is the average speed in your race?

    Arctic Leopard E-XE 880 Electric Dirt Bike

    Yeah, I saw that storage compartment on the Leopard. it's at the end of your video. The Alta has a huge empty space around the rear shock. But you'd need to design a special bag to fit there to use that space. The Stark has almost no empty space! Maybe someone could fit a cupholder somewhere...

    Post Your ***STOCK*** Stark Varg Suspension Clicker Settings!

    I tried 1 click harder in the front and 1 click softer than before in the back, and the bike felt choppered out and had too little front traction in hardpack flat turns. So, I put the front back to where it was. I feel my bike is nicely balanced right now. I already went 1 click softer in the...

    Charging Varg EX remotely? Bike stored away from home..

    I remember there was a YouTube video on exactly this. Maybe you could use the Stark phone as a wireless hotspot, keep it plugged into a wall so that it doesn't die, set up a smart plug, plug the charger into that, and then turn on that smart plug from your other phone. I think the YouTube...

    Have you ever tried riding a motocross track and watching your digital speedometer at the same time? I will never be able to do this when attacking a turn or when accelerating for a big jump. If we eventually get data logging, this will all be possible. But right now we might have to install...

    New Stark Varg products are coming - Luxon Triple Clamps

    Post Your ***STOCK*** Stark Varg Suspension Clicker Settings!

    Thanks for this tip. I played with this blue rear hi-speed compression clicker today. Clicked it two clicks back out, back to stock, the bike started riding softer, like a big sofa. It was more relaxing, but it was slower, I didn't like it. However... one thing that I had been struggling with...

    Codes “stopped 103” and “waiting for something else” on SM model.

    In order to charge from a van or a generator, you usually need to "bond your neutral to ground", which means just adding a tiny thin jumper wire between the Ground on your 110V plug and the Neutral pin. Be careful not to connect it to Hot.

    EX Android app

    Back in the day, when we raced ICE bikes on ice back in Russia in the 80's, we would install longer throttles just for the winter. A shorter throttle than the stock Stark's won't help you pop a wheelie if you are in the 40-hp mode. You need more HP/torque. But maybe you can ride in the 80-hp...

    I wish Stark had shown the Torque plot instead or in addition to the HP plot. The HP plot is confusing and lacks resolution at low RPM.

    This would feel like you are in the 80 hp mode until 4K or 5K RPM, which is way too fast, probably 40 - 50 km/h. You should try maximizing only the low-rpm power, the very first 1K RPM point.
