I think a Yam WR450F and Varg EX are probably about the same weight. Maybe the newest WR is 10lb less but I know the 2020 I rode a few weeks ago was around 265 with a tank of gas.

Good idea.

We should be honest with ourselves. Companies/corporations are in business to make money and no matter what the groomed image is it is the same. For example, I love the Japanese motorcycles I have had over the years, but not all their products are winners. And some terrible junk (even deadly...

No they didn't rule it out. I was just assuming since initial reports were that key parts like the battery were not interchangeable --and there were noted design changes to meet the EX requirements-- that they had not designed in adaptions. But that was an assumption based on initial internet...

Stark should have engineered it to conversion capable. Some folks are not going to be happy when they have to eat a big depreciation on their MX version. Dirtbike market is in freefall.

It won't fit according to the reports I have heard. There are EX reviews on youtube. If that is so it is poor planning folks might interested in purchasing 20% more capacity. In a tight market you'd think these Stark guys would be building all the after sale opportunities they could.

If Stark was smart they would have engineered the change to be swappable to the MX version then sold conversion kits. It might be a lot for many customers to either take a bath on a recent MX purchase or buy a second machine. But a conversion kit would give customers choice and give Stark a...

American made sports car?? That is funny. The only thing we can make are pickup trucks and even half of those suck and cost $100k. We have failed miserably at cars... And sports cars Hahaha nada. Even our Polaris OHVs are not really made here. I would have been in a Porsche and the...

🙂Well at least the iPhone doesn't leak oil out of every orifice like a German car...:) We have Yuppies here in the US who buy Range Rover/Jags for the prestige --who, instead of working from home, now they work from the repair shop. :lurker: And the owners of Bosch dishwashers are amazed it is...

I use mine as a charging interface for my EcoFlow. It sits on its side most of the time since the cable is not really long enough to work properly. My old Yamaha stand for my WR450f works great with the Stark for a real working stand. The Stark stand is a classic Euro (mis)design piece and...

This is rather common on European machines. It is poor attention to detail. My 2020 KTM is terrible when it comes to water sealing in almost every aspect fuel, electrical, & etc. Initially I thought Stark was going to take a different approach when they said the bike could be powerwashed but...

Stark should be able to log onto you bike and get the logs. Your bike worked fine up until you had the service done on your suspension correct? Could be water got into something with the powerwashing. Like all European bikes the Stark tends to be open to water ingress (KTM is terrible with this)...

I would check the connections under the front plate. Both the power and throttle connect in a junction box there at least on the gen 1. Since your suspension guys were likely messing with the forks it would be easy for them to bump into that junction. Also, that crawl and reverse are not...

@Drjohnsen42 Do you have any more of these left?

Thanks. I thought @Drjohnsen42's was a one off. I am interested.

Not to go too far off topic in this thread. But @Chadx could you share what you got for a battery warmer for your Stark? Custom ones are pretty expensive. Is that what you got? Thanks, @Chaconne

Are you getting help directly from Stark factory support? They should be able to log into your bike and straighten it out or at least address it. These bikes have generally been rock solid and they do have pretty good support from the factory. The bikes also come with warranties which is...

Did you actually check that it was 60 or was that in the documentation? My documentation said 60 but I got an Alpha. The dealership I got my bike from straightened out the paperwork for me. It is only a firmware upgrade to enable Alpha anyway that should be easy for them to remedy if so. Does...

Yes those Australia numbers have been around for some time. And there are US numbers are around somewhere too (I am not going to search) this topic was covered ad nauseum on Thumpertalk a few years back. Even Australia has a fairly vigorous off-road motorcycle culture probably inherited from the...

Well I hope Stark is not relying on the US market and, rather, has a plan for the European, Asian, and South American markets for the enduro model. The US likely won't be the buying power for enduro bikes that it was for the MX version. The enduro and trail riding motorcycle market in the US...
