I think wrapping the bike in an electric blanket might be sufficient. Just buy a model of the blanket that doesn't turn itself off after one hour. Or disable the timer.

Oh wow! Is the Stark Varg at 260 lbs now heavier than the Alta Redshift at 257 lbs?

Have you been one of those TSLA short sellers for the last decade, Mark? ;)

It is simpler and cheaper to buy a new bike. So, I would enjoy your SM as-is, and then decide to sell or to keep.

I think we only had one or two guys in Europe who were hardcore supermoto guys. In motocross we do gear it down often in order to tame down the jerky throttle, use a more aggressive map, and have more power at higher speeds. The feedback from Alta is that for hardcore supermoto an MXR would...

Did you buy that LHRB kit from Stark, or did you just buy a Brembo clutch master cylinder?

If someone doesn't beat me to it, I will post that chart soon after I get my Varg. I will take it to the same DynoJet 200 where I tested my Alta MX and MXR. I have no doubt that it will post about 80hp, and it will be a plateau and not be an instantaneous low-PRM spike. Else, the bike will be...

You looked scary fast by the end of Day 2. You were carrying a lot of momentum and accelerated hard only for a few seconds. That was impressive. Then you cranked up the power to 80hp and the natural flow ended. Those pesky corners started coming at you too fast and unexpectedly too soon!

Wow, they are selling the rear caliper for that hand brake too?!! Did anyone notice if the Stark used the Formula Brakes rear caliper with the LHRB setup? Or do they use a single-piston Brembo (bleh...)?

The piston size alone is irrelevant without the leverage and the piston travel information. A 9mm on a Brembo may not be the same as 9mm on a Formula Brakes, unless the leverage and the travel are exactly the same. You can always install the Alta LHRB...

I have Plan B too! :cool: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H197C2G/?tag=sce0f-20

P/N: FM10109-20 Can anyone identify the manufacturer?

The Alta LHRB uses a stock KTM/Brembo clutch master, and it works fine. But in Bryan's video, the Varg is using a bigger LHRB master cylinder reservoir. It is just as big as the front brake master cylinder reservoir. I have only seen such big clutch reservoirs on pros' bikes.

🥸 LOVE all the details !!! :love:

Done.

Congrats, Jason! Well done! And thank you for all the videos showing all the work that you put into this. You have really earned all these #1 plates!

You went with a heavier rear 66N spring than what I had, so you definitely should go with at least 5.4N/mm (0.55kg/mm) front springs. You are in an uncharted territory with these dampers and springs. I know people have run them before on Alta's, but you are using a different tuner, so this is...

Our own Bryan Haskell @TCMB371 :ricky:

This looks pretty good. Replace that front fender and it will look like a mini-Alta. What are the wheel sizes? I couldn't see any specs on their site.

The math shows that the Alta/Stark battery would become either 35 - 40 lbs lighter, or will have more than twice the capacity. This is huge. But as skeptics in the YouTube comments point out, battery tech breakthrough announcements happen fairly regularly, but we haven't seen them in...
