    Assembly quality?

    The way in which the brake lines are arranged can cause this issue.

    Favorite mx regen

    First of all I have a hunch that the power setting also affects the regen braking, meaning that a certain regen percentage is actually stronger at higher HP settings than at lower ones. I usually ride my bike at roughly 50 HP and the regen is set to 40%. The main reason is that I feel that with...

    Varg production numbers / VIN

    Here @15:38 there is some updated information about how long it takes them to build a bike and about the frequency of completions of new bikes: Building a Varg takes roughly 1 hour. The speed of their production line is: a new bike every 10 minutes. I guess that the production starts when the...

    Owner's Review I Finally got my Stark…Pros and Cons

    Actually in theory the way it works should be the opposite: post in a different thread So maybe the reason for which the front wheel slams into the next whoop is that the rear slams too hard and so you end up like on a teeter totter. Personally I can't skim whoops while wheeling with a gas bike...

    electric motorcycles for military purposes

    2 wheels drive: one motor in each wheel hub. I bet it helps a ton when the rider gets stuck in low traction situations.

    electric motorcycles for military purposes

    I've watched some videos in which soldiers use electric motorcycles; here is one I've liked more than others. In that video, they mention a "reduced signature", which is something that I understand because of hours spent playing Digital Combat Simulator (who knows, maybe some of you will Google...

    Mudflap rubbed swinging arm.

    There are two spacers on the left and two on the right and actually you should push the component sandwitched between them like shown in that video to get them out. They can't stick to the swingarm shaft when you slide it out. Here is a representation of how they are assembled:

    Mudflap rubbed swinging arm.

    After 51 hours of almost only motocross except from some enduro turn track, I think that my swingarm doesn't have that issue, even though there is a spot in the center which is different from the surrounding area because of the casting molds I guess and I'm note sure whether it's worn. I've...

    Motocrossity in a shopping center in Madrid

    Here is a video with an onboard on a Talaria: So it's a small track with a hard ground in which I guess ruts will never exist, so apparently that's why they use those tyres which look more for flat track than motocross. It looks more suitable for the occasional rider and not for the advanced...

    Post here your Stark Varg issues (or not!)

    According to the Control switch LED statuses guide that you can find here: Stark Future if it's flashing yellow fast it can mean that there is an update available and if you haven't turned it on for 11 days or more probably it needs to be updated because a couple of weeks ago, I think, mine...

    Chain slack

    After my first trackday I measured the slack and it was as per the manual, roughly 30 mm above the chain slider top bolt. EDIT: I meant that after my first trackday the chain, with the rear end lifted on the center stand, could be pushed upwards until it left a space of 30 mm between itself and...

    NEW! STARK VARG EX is here!

    Maybe I'm more used to the maintenance schedule for motocross, but the cost estimate for your 2 stroke looks too optimistic to me. If you do 50 h per year, can you just replace pistons for 400 h in eight years? I bought a 2001 YZ250 in 2016, so it was 15 years old. I don't know whehter the...

    NEW! STARK VARG EX is here!

    I agree 100%. When buying a product for the joy of using it, you decide how much each of its features is worth. I see this mistake a lot when people discuss about sportscars especially: they say things like "I want a certain model because it's 10% more powerful and 10% cheaper than another one"...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    I partially agree; IMO: yes, it's true that a lot of motocrossers, possibly most of them, don't want them. No, they are not redneck, they just follow the trend of saying that EVs are pathetic and, when you just go with the flow, it doesn't matter how well you could potentially think, because you...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Here is a tip for when you reinstall the skid plate: make sure that the notches and their tabs indicated via the yellow arrows are aligned, by pressing the sides of the skid plate: if the tabs miss the notches as you slide the skid plate into its position, the skid plate will bulge.

    Motocrossity in a shopping center in Madrid

    Wow, apparently they are presently going to open a track for electric motocross bikes only in the Oasiz shopping center in Madrid: Centro comercial Oasiz Madrid Chema Calleja on Instagram: "Gran dia en @motocrossity! Este Sábado lo inauguran, es perfecto para tu primera toma de contacto con el...

    New Stark EX Enduro announced, List of issues/unkept promises with current/original Stark Varg

    I've watched the video using the automatically translated subtitles of YouTube and I'd like to add some detalis; @mike61 if there are any translation mistakes, please correct me. He bought the conversion kit SMX1-CL-G2-KT, which is more like an upgrade to bleed the system faster and neater. I...

    Taddy Terminates Contract with Stark, Blames "the unpredictable reaction of the motorcycle" In Racing Incident

    Well, he has written that he apologizes for what happened, so it's more likely that he was referring to an accident involving someone else, too.

    Taddy Terminates Contract with Stark, Blames "the unpredictable reaction of the motorcycle" In Racing Incident

    I've watched that in slow motion, too and indeed it really seems like he had turned the throttle tube a lot and that the reaction of the Varg was what one would expect. Someone in the comment section of the video hypotesizes that he wanted to skid the rear wheel to turn faster but there was too...
