OOPS! I had to correct this. I had 45 hp on the Varg. The Alta has better traction, but the throttle and power near the WOT position is a bit flat. The Varg has a better kick neat the WOT position, but the traction is lacking, and in flat corners it feels like I am in the 1st or 2nd gear, I...

I am running the Stark and the Alta back-to-back today. My Alta has a 12/45 wearing, which is similar to 14/53. To make them feel similar, I set the Alta into Map 4 and th Varg to 45 HP and 40% regen.

I am confused what you guys are talking about. Drag with the chain installed or not? You cannot make the motor spin freely, but with the chain removed it shouldn't be too bad. Make sure the brake caliper is centered and the pads don't drag. Polish the wheel spacers and lube the seals. Install...

Try to imagine the unimaginable.

KTM has 20mm, 22mm, and 25mm axles. The hubs and the bearings are the same, just the spacers and axles are different. This is my experience.

If I were in the market for 240V generators, this Maxpeedingrod 6250IE would be near the top of my list: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B747WH4V/?tag=sce0f-20

All years, AFAIK. Only the spacers and the axles are different.

Yes.

I thought I was not recording, pressed the button again, and accidentally skipped the first few feet of the holeshot. A rookie mistake. Dakota had a 7-second lead after just one lap.

Luckily, I had my special 240 Plug to 110 Socket adapter, which used the same plug. I was able to borrow the plug from it, install it on the Stark charger, and not lose a day of riding. Strip those damn wires about 5/8" (or 15 mm), twist them, do not use any solder, push them in all the way...

@Fog 25 alerted us to Check your Stark Varg charger plug almost a year ago. I didn't check. I thought maybe the issue was fixed. The issue was indeed addressed... but not fixed. The wires are now stripped longer, twisted, and soldered. But, apparently, the monkeys didn't tighten the contacts...

My regen is usually set to about 50%. Up in the air, it is a matter of comfort and preference, it is possible to get used to any setting. Instead, I set my regen based on the corner entry. Too much regen will make the rear-end skid when you have no rear-end traction and will make it difficult...

The wheel axles are hollow, but they are capped with cap nuts on one end. I plugged up the open ends with plastic wine corks so that dirt and water do not collect inside.

I lost one fender bolt. All the front and rear fender bolts, as well as the shroud bolts, were loose. I added blue Loctite to all such bolts that hold plastic. There is no need to overtighten them. All the triple clamp and fork leg aluminum threads were bone dry. So were the aluminum axle nuts...

Today, I was again at Glen Helen and there were again Casey and @Bob Casper. Yesterday, I was struggling with choppy braking and acceleration bumps, and with the front end not following the ruts well. So I asked Casey for help again. This time, he rode the bike a few times, then I rode it too a...

I like my regen set at 50%. The HP varies depending on the track and my comfort level. If the track is slippery, or if I want to carry the momentum, I set it lower to 40 hp. If the traction and the confidence are high, I can run it at 50 hp or higher on the very same track.

Blake Kehoe wants to run Mammoth. But that is AMA. The race in in June, but I hope we will know about this sooner rather than later.

Good morning from Glen Helen!
