Or, just CHECK gear oil. If there's nothing in there, I'm sure it would be loud. FYI, I run Mobil1 full synthetic 75w-90 and change my oil every 4 to 5 hours of riding.

I've got a lot buddies that all have EX's on order that are NOT gonna like this. Most have ridden my bike (2024 Alpha) and remark how loud the whine is.

Check with the folks that made your new wheels. My SM 17" wheels were actually ordered for my KTM EXC and fit my Varg perfectly.

What's the real deal here... true or not true? I find it difficult to believe that if Philip posted it, that it's not legit.

Check the first post in this thread.

You say, "sad"... but it's just the few of us that have been there ;)

I'm running a stock length chain and found the 12/49 combo to be pretty similar to stock (which on my 2024 Varg Alpha was 14/47) for wheelbase. When I ran the 13/49 I was rubbing the mudflap enough to leave marks from the knobby tire, but I appreciated the even shorter rear-to-center. Note here...

Same here. Wondering what this all means for our pre-EX bikes and old Stark phones.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. I know the general consensus is that our Vargs are already range deficient, but for my style of riding I would be happier with the bike if it had an optional battery pack that was half the weight of stock. I would gladly accept the 50-ish percent...

Just for giggles, I hit 80.8 mph while riding back from my training course today (per the stats on my Varg phone) with the 12/49 combo. It was all dirt, pretty straight and not too whooped out. Just a twist of the throttle for only a few seconds. I'm sure there was more to be had.

Awesome, thank you for that. I was only asking as there are others who have shown rust issues elsewhere on the bike because of lack of grease, and then I took mine apart only to find that it was actually very well greased - my VIN #8036. BTW - Those forks look BADASS! After seeing yours, I'd...

Have you tested and confirmed this? I played with mine on a long downhill, and never saw a rise in battery percentage. Okay, what I did wasn't a very scientific test, but if you have more hardcore data, please share.

TRUE THAT!

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm guessing those are not the stock triples nor the stock forks, correct? If you don't mind, what's the last 4 of your VIN?

I rode the other day for a quick hour long ride on a route I have taken many times (aggressive trail riding). At the very start I decided to set my "regen" to zero instead of my normal 50%. What I found was that I had much more control over the deceleration (and transition to acceleration) of...

From what I've seen, the KTM pegs are not a direct fit. The older versions can be made to fit with minor modification, but the angles are quite a bit different on the newer style. I didn't want to compromise my OEM Stark pegs without testing the result first, but now that I've spent a couple...

Honestly, I hate how loud my Stark is. The gear-whine is insanely loud and I feel like a criminal even when I ride below the speed limit, down public streets to get to my local riding area.

This is the first set I made from an older version of KTM pegs. These were 50mm further back and 10mm lower than Stark OEM: Then (feeling VERY positive about the initial effort) I made a second set using a new set of KTM pegs that were considerably wider and longer that the originals. This...

Nowadays, I ride everything from fast, bermed out trails to snotty tight stuff, but I mostly enjoy the tight, twisty, sometimes muddy and often rocky trails with lots of challenging obstacles. On my 2024 Alpha 80 (as far as gearing goes), I've run everything I could in trying to make my Varg as...

HA! I just ordered a 12t front sprocket 😁
