    Charging - 220 vs 110

    Sounds like the info I received from my dealership was suspect (that the bikes they received didn't include the adapters). Ah well. They gave me such a huge discount on the bike and swapping on the tubes/tires I wanted, that the $30 adapter "is but a pittance" of the overall deal. Ha.

    Charging - 220 vs 110

    Most dealerships were not provided one with the bike, so buyers were not either. but dealers had them for purchase. My dealership made me buy one from them. Curious if all, that received the bike directly in the U.S., got the 120v adapter for free? Or free if you asked for one? or if some...

    Post here your Stark Varg issues (or not!)

    Many dealerships and individuals have had issues and, to troubleshoot, Stark sets up a live phone call to troubleshoot/diagnose. But, if the bike isn't running at all, perhaps diagnosis is limited and that is why no live session was set up. But then they and the dealership would be in "replace...

    My 240v Battery/Inverter Track Side Charging Setup

    Slick set up. I have quite a few LiFePO4 stand alone batteries that I use for our pickup camper, fishing boat's trolling motor, shop and trailer diesel heaters, etc. Also have a Bluetti power station that I used with my Varg a couple times. My Bluetti power station only has 120v, but even at...

    Charging - 220 vs 110

    Yes the Stark chargers come with a 240v plug. They sell a 120v adapter, for use in a 120v outlet. Max charge rate is about 1,600watts on 120v and 3,200watts on 240v. Having a 240v charge source is great if you forget to charge the bike or need to charge it fast, but most of the time, it's...

    Stark varg support is the worst

    To be fair, we have no insight into any of the communication leading up to that response. No excuse for that response, either way, but I imagine there were quite a few exchanges building up to that one. Ha. Sitting for that long is really odd. Have only heard of one issue of a bike sitting that...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    That's what I was doing with onX mapping app, but that means you have to stop to open, and see/use, the app. No good for using the app to know when to turn, etc. The solutions discussed above let one have your app-of-choice up as you ride, rather than Stark app, which will be nice. These two...

    NEW! STARK VARG EX is here!

    I'm in the group that will never pay a subscription for vehicle or powersports options/features. If I can't get a feature by buying, I just won't have it. Or I'll buy another companies product where I can buy the features I want rather than "rent" them. I do have a few subscriptions for...

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

    They overlap at -40; not -42. But what's a couple degrees amongst friends! Ha. As for discharging, if it's below freezing temp, it would be good to take it easy on the bike before he rips a hot lop at WOT. Between a bit of time indoors while getting suited up and an easy-going practice/warm up...

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

    I typically ride single track in about 35hp. 50" trails and up in 45hp. 45hp lifts the front no problem at all. 35hp isn't too bad. Just need to roll throttle way further, but on the single track, I don't want it to lift too easy. If I need it for a section, a quick change to a different...

    Moving Varg charger to different case

    Finished up my transfer of my charger to the Seahorse SW540 case. Really doesn't look much different than the 'test fit' images I posted above. I used some gray trim, that I had from another project, on all the aluminum edges that were somewhat sharp. And used a Dremel to cut out a gap where the...

    NEW! STARK VARG EX is here!

    Have been using Ned's Double take mirrors, since he first released them around 2010, on everything from dirtbikes to ATVs to dual sports. Haven't tried his latest ball and arm design, since the earlier versions are still going strong and several pairs have moved across multiple machines. Might...

    NEW! STARK VARG EX is here!

    Like I said, I suspect it will be whenever the current MX warehouse inventory depletes as well as the parts bins. They will keep a certain inventory of current parts to support the current Varg, but that will be minimal. If they have a warehouse full of current parts, they will keep building...

    NEW! STARK VARG EX is here!

    No rumors yet, but I expect it will happen sometime mid-2025. Curious what parts of the EX you want for MX? The bigger battery? Or perhaps the new modes? Everything about the EX is focused on offroad riding; not MX. So besides stripping the lights and changing rear wheel and tire, one would...

    NEW! STARK VARG EX is here!

    You are mixing up kW and kWh. kW and HP are both units of power. kWh is a unit of capacity (power over time). Kilowatts (kW): a measurement of power, or the rate at which energy is produced or consumed. It represents the amount of electricity needed to power a piece of equipment at any given...

    NEW! STARK VARG EX is here!

    It's kind of like having a camper battery bank that is 12v and 200ah. If you have a inverter that inverts 12v Direct Current (DC) and outputs 120v Alternating Current (AC) at a max of 1,500watts, adding more batteries to your battery bank doesn't change the max output of the inverter. It only...

    NEW! STARK VARG EX is here!

    Max hp is based on the motor and programming of the controller. It does not automatically change just by increasing the battery size. A larger battery has the potential to allow a larger draw with less damage than a smaller battery. To increase available hp max, it would require different...

    2025 Stark Varg rumors, changes, etc.

    Had the battery heater on and plugged in for the last month. Couple cold snaps into the teens (F) but otherwise it's been unseasonably warm with highs above freezing. Way too warm for this time of year. Trying to be patient for the mountain snow to be deep enough for snowbiking/snowmobilng...

    DMV sent me notification I need insurance on the SV, WTF???

    Greedy lawyers are always a possibility, but a more likely situation is a legitimate claim against us. I try not to ride recklessly, but anyone can have an accident (be that riding too fast, a mechanical failure, losing control due to terrain, a second of inattention, etc. Coming around a trail...
