    Stark no go, Nothing!

    The first Varg was deleivered in the spring of 2023, so up to spring of 2025 they will all be covered by warranty. I think that then refurbished stuff will start making more sense and people will be more likely to be asked to ship back defective parts under warranty.

    Stark no go, Nothing!

    I suppose that in some cases Stark can repair power units and batteries for a price much lower than a replacement and that so far they have shipped new ones, often without asking to send the used malfunctioning ones back, because: 1) Being all Vargs still under warranty to date, in each case...

    FastCross in Italy on september 14th 2024

    They have released a video of the whole event, apparently. The final starts @ 3:23:20. The white flag @3:35:11 indicates the beginning of the last lap: Here are the results, from which I've learnt that Justin Bogle and Jack Brunell have raced with Vargs, too. Hill's result of the final from...

    Deals on Starks?

    They have written "2025" in the title, but A. Wass said, in an interview, that in their opinion (and IMHO) it doesn't make sense to release a new model every year only because of a new number of year in a calendar and that, instead, they would rather introduce something like a Varg 2 when they...

    Stark open ended hand guards

    I use the Acerbis X-Force for motocross, so just to protect my fingers and the throttle from chunks of mud thrown by spinning rear tyres. I don't know whether they are the sturdiest open ended guards but I doubt it because they look more elastic than strong; I think they can withstand falls by...

    Cold weather storage

    According to the manual, you shouldn't charge a battery at less than 4°C, i. e. 40°F. Riding at sub freezing temperature as far as I've understood is not recommended but nor it is forbidden.

    The FASTEST Car You CAN BUY! McMurtry Speirling Pure BREAKS RECORDS

    Since only the prototype has it, I guess it could be a pitot tube to measure the speed of the air flow. I've also noticed the Molicel sticker on the car and found out that Molicel produces its cells...

    In 2026 there will be an electric class in the World MX Championship

    One problem I see with laptimes comparison is that in motocross the rider makes a huge difference and it seems to me that the bike doesn't matter as much. I would be a little surprised to see better laptimes from a professional but non-top rider using an electric bike than from a top rider using...

    Wing Seats

    I love AJ's riding tips from his videos, which have helped me a lot and I find his opinions ineteresting. BTW I notice that Philip's master cylinders have been moved inwards, according to AJ's suggestions; I've done that, too and I like it. @Philip: do you feel the bulges of that seat while...

    Stark rider triangle and bar position

    Thanks to generative AI you can also see how he looked like!! I am a slow motocross rider, I use the standard geometry and I like it; I have only adjusted the brake levers and moved the master cylinders. I think that it's very subjective and that it depends a lot on the body of the rider...

    In 2026 there will be an electric class in the World MX Championship

    https://www.mxgp.com/news/introducing-mxep-%E2%80%93-mxgp-develop-electric-class-2026 The electric bikes will compete in a separate class but in the same weekends, so people will be able to see what they can do, to hear how they sound and to compare lap times, even though most likely the best...

    Check if your bolts and screws are still there

    I know, actually my personal version has links to pictures saved in a certain folder; in those pictures each fastener is shown while being tightened, but those pictures are screenshots from Stark's videos and I didn't feel like sharing them because I didn't want to have copyright issues. Another...

    Stark range video(s)

    Actually what I understand @ 15:16 is that after five laps the two riders were metaphorically "out of battery" while their bike still had a SOC of 30% and therefore they asked the pro to discharge it completely, reaching 0% in an overall time of 5 hours and Wass predicted that, had they had the...

    Check if your bolts and screws are still there

    I hoped the same thing, but I've noticed that they become loose quicker than I expected and not less than with an ICE bike. Especially the first couple of times I checked their tightness, I used the torque wrenches for every of them to get an idea of how many were loose and found some looser...

    FastCross in Italy on september 14th 2024

    Josh Hill is going to race a Varg in the FastCross event in Italy: As far as I've read, it's a race they used to have every year in the '80s and '90s up to the year 2000, when world-class riders competed. They restarted doing it in 2023, even though people say that now the level is not the same...

    About time! I'm sick and tired of those things which sound like fast-forwarding VHS players!

    My 240v Battery/Inverter Track Side Charging Setup

    I read that article when people started posting the link some time ago, but I didn't know that INR in the cell name means NMC (I'm still starting to learn about electric vehicles) and I just assumed it was a code specific for Molicel products. The reason for which I thought that the Varg has a...

    40 miles of dirt road 1500 feet elevation change possible on stark?

    I've read different ranges that people have got with the Varg and I think that a lot depends on the route, especially how twisty it is, the type of dirt and whether there are higher speed sections, so I think that there is not enough information to answer. I don't have a degree in anyhing but I...

    My 240v Battery/Inverter Track Side Charging Setup

    Same for me; people usually talks about the way in which the Varg feels riding it, while in my opinion what changes the most is the ownership more than the use becuase of the less maintenance. I am a little confused because when you mention batteries sometimes I don't understand whether you are...

    Poll: Are you using the original Stark Varg Stand/Charger as intended?

    I haven't voted because I use it as intended but neither I would say that I like it, nor that I hate it: • at home, I like it because it's convenient but I wish it was shorter, • at the track, I dislike it; I wish it was possible to quickly slide the charger out of the stand with some latch...
