    Stark Rear Hand Brake for the Alta?

    I bought one. You can use it on the Alta. If you decide to buy the complete kit with the rear caliper you'd just have to install the rear caliper bucket from the Alta because the Alta has a thinner rear axle.

    Varg suspension

    The good part is that the rear shock has four clickers. I am optimistic that working with the rebound clickers this bike can be made way more rideable than it comes from the factory. The compression settings appear to be in the ballpark. The spring rates are good for intermediate level...

    Varg suspension

    I got my Varg about three weeks ago. I pumped the rear end on the dealer's floor, and it felt like the slowest rebound setting that I have ever experienced. FYI, a suspension that is overdamped in rebound is set up this way primarily for slow riders who hit small bumps not very often. Fast and...

    Stark Varg Factory Suspension Default Settings

    The table above has the colors of the compression adjusters switched around incorrectly. The Comp High/Low words are correct, but the colors must be ignored. Switch around White and Blue.

    clicking sound when fork compresses if you have LHRB

    Just bend the banjo fitting at the master cylinder to be more straight. That pipe is very soft and pliable.

    New mod today - Added Stark LHRB

    EDIT: This would work for a Brembo master cylinder. The Formula master cylinder needs a straight 8mm fitting. A length of 1300 mm is correct.

    New mod today - Added Stark LHRB

    @Foss -- I finally have my Stark and I really want to have my LHRB! I have all the parts, but I know nothing about cutting and tapping Teflon brake lines. Which tools did you use, and where did you buy the 45° 10mm banjo fitting? Would this one work? Thanks.

    Any recommended Lock on grips for the Varg?

    Luckily, the throttle tube on the Varg is longer than on the Alta. It is harder to get grip glue in the electronic part of it. I used to cut rubber donuts out of old inner tubes. I would live them over the throttle tube, then glue the grip on, then cut them off. The open end of more quickly. I...

    Any recommended Lock on grips for the Varg?

    I left my bike in the Arizona sun for 20 minutes and the stock grips loosened up and came off with no tools. I do not think WD40 would hurt anything. But be careful not to get the grip glue anywhere it shouldn't be. You won't be able to remove it because the throttle cannot/shouldn't be...

    Battery price

    WOW! Battery I remember Anton Wass didn't believe anyone would want to buy a spare battery because of its price. And now I am betting Stark wishes they had designed a bike with a quick-swappable battery.

    the fork has snap rings which apparently mate to the fork guards

    Yeah, these steel rings are there to keep your anodized aluminum fork legs pretty and shiny.

    Eddie Karlsson Stark VARG GoPro | Battle of Veklings Extreme Enduro

    Re-posting this great video here. There is a forum discussion about this already here. His battery lasted 2.5 hours of racing, which is almost unbelievable! I am equally impressed that his GoPro also lasted just as long.

    Another First Place Win

    Congrats on the great engineering and winning results!!! Our southwestern WORCS endurance racing series have a 1-hour race format for amateurs and a 2.5-hour race format for the pros. My Alta is faster and easier to race than ICE bikes, it just doesn't last the entire race. But with small...
