    I love this bike, but already have problems...

    As I understand it a stuck kill switch drains the battery in the VCU, if that happens you get nothing no lights nothing. The battery is a p28A Molicel is that easy and safe to recharge? Seems stark send out a new VCU to fix it which is going to end up being a 3 week at the dealers job plus a...

    Stark varg support is the worst

    " Having a large call center to handle consumer problems/warranty work is incredibly expensive " Not as expensive as loosing customers because of a very bad service and those customers spreading the word. My stark has been out of use over half the time I have had it, that will only get worse...

    I love this bike, but already have problems...

    You keep saying QC issues and yes there are some but after 2 years of the first customer bikes going out and 3.5 years since we saw video of the first running bikes people are still having much the same issues with new bikes, I would be looking at design issues not QC. Remember the Sh** show...

    I love this bike, but already have problems...

    This is now going to be another problem. Fact is dealers do not want to do warranty work, the manufacture/importer will not pay them the same hourly rate they can charge any walk in customer, at best they see it as a fill in job instead of sweeping the floor. My stark has had more issues than...

    Varg MX 1.2

    Amazed anyone listens to a word Anton Wass spouts he is so full of it, typical modern slimeball salesman, saw it within seconds of his first video and seen nothing since that would change my mind. Pepole are so weak these days how they feel the need to look up to fake people with big egos...

    Varg MX 1.2

    "new concept" Maybe but I am sure they had a very very good look around the Alta and yes copied much of it. I had the need to remove the battery from our freeride E-XC a while ago and noticed the frame design where the main steel frame meets the alloy side plates, had a little chuckle to...

    Button Unit get Stuck with dirt, Varg EX and MX

    Stark have sent me 3 new units under warranty each time with the promise there was a re design in the pipeline, then started saying you have to strip it down and clean it as part of the service, what use it that when it sticks in the middle of nowhere and leaves you stranded. I was shocked to...

    Varg MX 1.2

    "I know for a fact Stark supplies their dealers with those parts so everything should be there to do a quick fault finding." That is what I thought and what stark seemed to imply but the dealer tells me the VCU they need to try has to be coded to my bike so over a week later it has now arrived...

    It is not older it is the latest model available right now, the 1.2 is the latest stark. you work it out however you want but for me it is what is going out of my pocket that matters. Besides the official dealers are only allowed to advertise prices agreed with the importer but we all know speak...

    Other Bikes KTM Freeride e-xc wire harness

    We had the wires breaking on our E-XC around the headstock, even some that looked ok had broken the wire inside so we cut them all at the point they were breaking and added a few inches extra to give some slack. Soldered the joints and put heat shrink on seems ok now. Was the new loom a revised...

    How long are we expecting the Stark battery to last (long term)

    No the surron only has one charge speed as far as I know, the freeride has fast and slow mostly charge it on slow to hopefully give the battery less of a hard time.

    Loose sub-frame threaded inserts for the rear fender

    "Stark's recommended solution is to put high strength thread locker (stud locker) on the inserts to see if that'll fix them" Shows how clueless they are, not a chance that will work I have the same problem. Most stopped using round inserts in favour of hexagon inserts many years ago, more poor...
