Stark probably should change their messaging on delivery of new product. Most of the Asian manufacturers don't operate this way and they are generally better at hitting delivery targets than Europeans or Americans. Plus, complex electronic/software/firmware is notorious for delays and unexpected...

I bought my bike from a dealer who specializes in dirtbikes not from a general "powersports store". All nuts, bolts, and lubricants were covered well. Not different than the KTMs I had previously purchased from that same dealer. I have had some shoddy work done at general "powersports stores"...

Cool. Sometimes folks who are heavy clutch users on ICE bikes can also take some time to adjust to the Stark too. Coming off an Alta you have something to compare, my guess is the Stark will get even better to you in time. It is a bit heavier but it is really stable and responsive. BTW I was...

Did you try changing your gearing? A smaller countershaft sprocket (1 tooth less) might be the easiest to try.

Hi Johnny it is Chaconne from TT happy to hear you are pulling the trigger!! Let us know what you get:ricky::ricky::ricky:

Cool. I am up on the Northshore/Merrimac Valley near the New Hampshire border. Most of my current riding is on private land that spans onto some quasi private. It is maintained for multisport use by about 5 of us. I am also loosely affliated with the Merrimac Valley Trail Riders and I do ride...

Wow you did way better than you would have on an ICE KTM!!!:ROFLMAO:

Interesting. I guess everybody is different. I find the Stark much better for all those things than either my KTM (300 2T) or Yam (450 4T) once you relearn using the throttle as the controller. I ride mostly slow gnarly enduro/hard enduro. For me, not having to use the clutch removes the...

I don't see why there is a need for a clutch. Any control should be with the throttle itself and having in intervening device (which is essentially an additional throttle controller) means more need for action on the part of the rider which I find unnecessary. I know folks are in love with...

How about asking that dealer if you can attend the zoom call with Stark --I sure as hell would if I had been without my bike for as long as you have (demand it man don't let them off the hook the dealer or Stark). Most of us here are just trying to figure out why this is happening to you that's...

Agreed. You are right. I think the only thing stopping folks is the warranty. Once the warranty is up everything will be pulled apart and up on youtube for all DIY'ers to fix their own bikes. Warranty introduces a ripple here in the US at least. By providing a warranty the company gains a...

Bro that is completely unfair. Many of us use our bikes all the time and are regular dirtriders. I use my Stark for mostly hard enduro and treat it no differently than my KTM 300 or my WR450F. I don't ride MX anymore but all my machines get severe beatings in the gnarl on a regular basis...

I just don't think your dealer is being honest with you or looking out for you. There are numerous cases of Stark shipping multiple expensive parts. Is your dealer an authorized Stark dealer? If Amex works like other credit cards your dispute claim will would likely go against the seller who...

How would you be burning a dealer who won't do your warranty work after selling you a bike? They should have a legit reason or not. They can't just cry it is Stark's fault and their dealer rep should be able to back up or deny any story they have. The only way your dealer could get burned...

On another thread I asked this same OP to post the dealer's name and got no response. It seemed to me since the OP was posting about Stark the dealer in question should be named as well. But the OP never did that which made suspicious about this whole story at least without more context.

I am grateful that folks were willing to take the chance as super early adopters and made it possible for the rest of us to purchase through the channel --don't mean to sound unappreciative of the risk you took. What I am railing against is that companies that use the online route to increase...

At least here in the US generally reps will not handle anything to do with sales to the consumer. Here you would likely have to sell it yourself or trade it in (and there is no guarantee of trade up). I strongly advise friends on any motorcycle (E or ICE) to go through a dealership in the US if...

I agree something doesn't sound right here and there is missing context. If I was the OP I would take the bike back to the dealer and demand they address this. It is unlikely that Stark would address the dealership directly it would more likely be the dealer rep. There has always been a...

Agreed. But here in the states most dealers have a Rep who they contact about any of that (like my dealer did when there were problems with my paperwork). The Rep can often clear these things up quickly with the US group especially if there is a pissed off customer. I know that wouldn't work...

You buy from a dealer that dealer should get the job done for you, what is there to sympathize with? They sell you a 13k bike and roll their eyes when you bring it back with problems and you sympathize? Doesn't make sense buddy. If you have a dealer and your bike is under warranty why do you...
