    Do our Vargs actually, "regen"?

    In the past few weeks in enduro parks we've seen serious amounts of battery getting charged from just going down. I had a 10hp 100% regen for long steep but not technical downhills. It was not strange to see 2 or 3% after 5-10 minutes of going down. Well the amount of regen can be adjusted. In...

    Also ease of maintenance. Any idiot can do the parts swapping stuff. Wich is much harder on the Zero's (seriously just send the guys engineering those to some gulag somewhere) and on the KTM EXC350F the military is using here. Edit: The military's are small customers. However they are paying...

    Well they are far more capable than anything 2 wheeled the military has been using so far.

    The Sovjet is a very extreme example, just like the current US example and the one at the beginning of the great depression (wich also was a katalyst to ww2 but lets not get distracted). However tarifs happen all the time by everyone and are mostly done quietly with only a few percents on very...

    Protectionism can be good to keep your own people at work and thus the economy flowing. Tarifs are one of the tools that can work great. Tarifs are a very good precision tool to make something happen to a specific industry. However swinging it around like a machine shotgun does not often work...

    Or they are buying that big Titanium printer that can print frames and Anton is jerking of to :ROFLMAO: Can't blame him though. How cool is it to have Titanium frames and print them yourselves!

    Stark Varg EX – Has anyone tried an 11T front sprocket?

    Higher gearing doesn't really gives problems at lower speeds. Just at Trial like crawling it misses a bit of RPM/flywheel to make enough power for the explosion onto a rock at 2 km/h. But that is at no concern to you. I use the Stark bars on everything now. I like the bend and flex. They just...

    Stark Varg EX – Has anyone tried an 11T front sprocket?

    If you reach those kind of speeds a lott you might want to move to the 15. Keel in mind that Stark uses the engine rpm for speed. So if your top speed over there looks to be the same you're actually going faster. You will also notice there will be more engine braking with a bigger sprocket so...

    Australian Championship shows why the AMA has banned Stark. It ain’t Safety.

    It very much depends on what tracks you run. In sand and especially tight sand tracks there is no bike that matches it when it comes to lap times. It does have a hard time to finish a 30 min +2 lap moto with a pro on it though. Hard pack it's more on equal foot with the 4 strokes but most are...

    Stark Varg EX – Has anyone tried an 11T front sprocket?

    Same, i also use the stock 48. Bigger gives trouble on the chain guide.

    It is as a single country. But since it's the size of Europe you have to compare it to Europe as a whole. And then it shrinks quite a bit.

    Stark Varg EX – Has anyone tried an 11T front sprocket?

    I have a MX1 as well and have the best allround results with a 14 up front. 15 moves the engine brake up too much and gives it less of a boost. I'm now on a Hard Enduro trip and doing some trial with it as well. Here the 14 is a bit too big and i wish i thought of it sooner because the 13 or 12...

    To a degree it would make sense and in a more calm climate i'm almost sure they would. But i would be very afraid to infest inside the US as is. I'm not perse against protectionism and i get the reasons. But for the love of yourself just take some time think and come up with a grand plan and...

    I don't think they would be investing within the US in current "tidal" economical climate. Sure it would save them from the tarifs as implied now. But how about tarifs that might or might not be implied to foreign companies? Or some quick deal swiping the tarifs off the table completely... Hell...

    I would say a new model that's not Varg based and the production line for it. An SM would just be another Varg with some different add-ons that could be build at the same line. Their capacity for the Varg is pretty much spot-on at the moment. Either short delivery times or small stocks. That...

    Stark Varg EX – Has anyone tried an 11T front sprocket?

    What kind of terrain are you riding? 13 is as small as i would go. 14 will do in most cases and does add range.

    Stark Varg EX – Has anyone tried an 11T front sprocket?

    Why would you need more torque? I've seen more range with bigger front sprockets so i guess the range would be less. Also the tighter chain angle would lead to more wear.

    I guess the belt drive om the FX is more efficient? It's also a much lower bike so a lott less wind to catch.

    I don't have that much Freeway experience with the Stark since mine is not road legal. But did you run it on knobby's? It's also quite tall with the rider sitting up very straight.

    Poll: Are you using the original Stark Varg Stand/Charger as intended?

    So a 89,1% of voters hates the stand/charger. Should be a clear enough signal that it was a nice try, but doesn't work :ROFLMAO:
