How much ? Did you buy the JBi spring perch? He has certainly done a lot of work on Starks, so should be on target.

Don't you have a generator? Are you ready to sell the Stark, you seem very negative about it?

Do you find it productive? Does any volume of air escape? I find unless the bike has been in the sun, if you have the bike on the stand with the wheels off the ground, nothing really happens. I have damaged the speed bleeders before where they stick open, so I'm out on them.

Are you running out of battery? I'm not wanting to compromise my riding style to recharge a battery I have yet to drain. I think some have proven the Regen to work going downhill, but I want to be in control of the brakes and momentum. Most riders are off throttle way more than on throttle. If...

It didn't look to me like the 15 would fit? I was finding that at the end of the "3rd gear" speed and range the Stark started to run out of steam, not anymore.

I was surprised that lifting the front was easier for me with taller gearing.

There are no shims at the bottom of a KYB fork, only some have a hydraulic bump stop, so the oil is primarily for tuning the hydraulic chamber. I use a dry erase marker on the fork sliders, and if I am not getting full travel then more oil comes out until I get the full 12" I paid for. Air will...

Moving the axle back seems to have had a positive effect on the rear suspension. More leverage, probably increased sag. You don’t have to stand up for roots and rocks anymore.

I’m splitting my time between tracks and trails, and comfort is a priority trying to overcome the harsh suspension. 15 hours on the bike, front tube lasted an hour, rear is still red, 18”. I’m 67, and C level trying to find my old speed, but with nothing to prove. Tried 13 psi and it was too...

I did the same thing with my Beta KYB’s. It’s just tuning the air/oil chamber. Oops 😬

Yes, overkill. Forks don’t build heat like the shock. Some people use negative pressure by slightly collapsing the forks before putting in the screws as a external preload adjustment. If you bleed them every time you will rarely get a puff of air out.

I can’t answer for them, but I got my answer for a $27 sprocket. Never going back. Maybe guys in mountains won’t like/try it, but in flat TX it’s great.

I’m going to make sure I exhaust all stock tuning options before I send out my suspension. I’m satisfied that the heavy springs are good for me. After starting with clickers suggested here I have been working towards comfort. Removing fork oil and backing off of compression and rebound front and...

To further expand on this topic, I will have a party if I am ever able to drain my battery in 1 ride 😀 I have never used beyond 70% in a day, including rest periods since my arms give up way before the battery does. By going with 14/42 my goal was improving rideability, and it has been...

Nobody’s considering gearing, IMO high revs, wheelspin and regen are the enemy. Downhill regen is different. Regen is like dragging the parking brake.

Yes, I was thinking 3d would be great. It does need to be rubber, not plastic for best grip.

2nd ride on my Twisted Engineering composite handlebars. KTM low closely resembles the original and has plenty of room to mount things. Went with the 3X not wanting to feel the bars moving, but I would go 4x next time for more flex. I have found relief from right hand arm pump going dead, but...

My crude experiment has paid off in V2. The rubber bumpers were first installed further back with a flat boot contact surface similar to using 3 steg pegs. In this position they were hard to get locked in unless you were riding like Jett. I moved them down and forward, making contact further...

Today was my first time to use my new gearing on the Stark. 14/42 for a 3.0 gear ratio, it required removing 2 links from the chain (112), I chose to run the axle as far back as possible. The steel sprocket was a JT from Amazon for $27. Super happy with this choice. Surprised 😳 that it was...
