    DIY maintenance and safety for EVs

    Here in this video, @6:37 Edd disconnects the battery and then says that, for that Nissan Leaf, it is suggested to wait 10 minutes to perform furhter work for the capacitor of the inverter to discharge: Still in that video, when he has opened the battery to remove the main contactor @14:25, he...

    Stark Varg fork height

    Mine is still 5 mm like I found it set from the factory, but I think it's one setting that should be considered together with other settings, like the rear sag: if the riding sag is excessive, for example, I guess that people could want to have a higher fork height.

    Any Electric or Hybrid vehicles for Stark Transport that have a built in plug for charging?

    I agree :). I've noticed that there are some EVs, less expensive than those trucks, that can perform V2L, i. e. Vehicle To Load (just found it out), like the Ioniq 5 with its 3.6 kw or the BYD Dolphin with 3.3 Kw (for the Italian market). Someone above poested a picture of a Jeep Wrengler...

    Tip to re-establish Bluetooth connection between phone and bike

    In 49 hours, I remember for sure that It's happened 3 times but I have a vague memory of it happening other times, too, like maybe it wasn't 3, more likely 5 or 6 in total. Usually, I re-established the connection by doing things like closing and opening the app or doing a hard shut down of the...

    How Do You Plan To Survive (Battery) the Winter?

    In the manual they have written not to charge the battery below 4°C, i.e. 40°F. They've also written that the recommended temperature range for use and storage starts at 0°C, i. e. 32°F and that the maximum recommended humidity level is 60%, which is harder to achieve at colder temperatures.

    Yet another CRF 250 Build but its my first so... ;)

    Well, air shipping lithium batteries is problematic since they are considered as hazardous material: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Shipping Lithium Batteries by Air but if @fmxxx666 has paid for air shipping, it must mean that they do that and that it's faster. I'm curious to see how...

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

    Maybe they are replacing power units and batteries now because they don't want people to question the validity of the warranty, but in the future we may be able to send them a power unit so that they just replace a sensor or whatever was wrong with it. Besides, there already is a replacement kit...

    Stark weird noise and no crawl/ reverse... Drive train not reacting to throttle inputs

    From what I've understood and from your pictures above, your system should be the type which self bleeds: New genuine water pump kit for self bleed If I were in your shoes, before reinstalling the body kit, I would keep the bike on for a minute and then I would check the coolant level again.

    How Do You Plan To Survive (Battery) the Winter?

    TLDR: I think that we shouldn't be worried about condensation with low temperatures, but I'd like to share my thoughts to support my statement. A thought occurred to me today: when temperature drops, air can hold less moisture and therefore, if a space has been sealed at a certain temperature...

    Firmware not updating

    Read the description of the VCU in the spare parts list of their website then: VCU

    Firmware not updating

    Typically, according to the videos I've seen. when they overheat they start limiting power but they don't cut it. If you live where the temperature in these days don't exceed 70F, like I've read on the internet, it would really take someone at pro level to overheat the battery anyways. I'd...

    Firmware not updating

    Again, that's how it works now apparently, but up to some months ago it was the bike that needed to be brought to a place with 4G reception, since at least the gen 1 up to some time ago did have mobile service, and the phone had 4G connectivity, too. Back then, this topic was discussed multiple...

    Firmware not updating

    From what I have understood, now the updating process can happen through the phone, but initially, for example when I received my Varg, it was independent and the important thing was to bring the bike an not the phone to a place where there was a good 4G reception. If you have an older firmware...

    Stark weird noise and no crawl/ reverse... Drive train not reacting to throttle inputs

    That's true!!! I've just noticed, from one of your pictures above, that the connector of your gen 2 looks like the one of the gen 1. In their video tutorial, @9:25, they say that you are supposed to install and slightly tighten the front shaft but they don't say when and how much to tighten it...

    Throttle Stop

    It's not the first time that I hear something like this, for example an engineering professor once mentioned that some companies skip the last quality control step and just readily replace the product in case it malfunctions, because they have assessed that overall they save money in that way...

    Throttle Stop

    You can't demand that a company replaces a part only because you suspect that it's going to fail. So far they have been handling problems under warranty with a policy which is the most expensive for them, so personally I don't suspect that they will treat us badly after the warranty will have...

    Ryan Hughes talks about electric MX motorcycles

    Some years ago he said he had some fun on a Freeride: Half a year ago he didn't show hatred at all for electric MX bikes, he just said that there are cons with them: It sounds like recently he's changed his mind: Here is my comment to that last video, BTW. Sorry of the length of my comment...
