    Gen1 vs Gen2 Powertrain

    If you search "Stark Varg" on the internet you will probably find only pictures of the Gen1; here are some pictures of Gen2: New charging point. Varg - Gear Oil Change

    RE: Stark - My conversation with Mike Burkeen, AMA Deputy Director of Racing

    Another thing to consider is that the Stark is not as popular as I wish it was: at least here in northern Italy, where I also see a lot of riders from Germany, France, etc. at the track, after 25½ hours of riding I have never seen another Varg which was not a demo bike. I don't know what happens...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    What size of hex is that? We only have the 13 mm and the 17 mm sizes included in the toolbox provided with the bike, so if it's not one of them (maybe the 13) we'll need to get a ¼" socket, too to use that torque wrench.

    Service your linkage and swingarm bearings asap

    Are you talking about the reversed thread lock nut they show here? Have you used the bike in wet conditions like heavy rain or crossing some creeks?

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA/FIM races

    Surely the rider is instrumental in winning a motocross race; someone says that in F1 and other motorsports it's the vehicle that matters the most and maybe that's true, but that principle doesn't hold good with MX. IMO discussing this topic of electric bikes to be allowed vs gas bikes is...

    That's a gen 1 power unit, then. As far as I've read here, typically they would send you a new power unit to replace yours in these rare (but IMO worrysome) lockup cases. I've noticed that they have recently added a countershaft replacement kit to their spare parts list in their website, so...

    Polo sport halo led headlight, Husqvarna TE 450.

    Hello. I do have an Italian Husky: 2008 SM610, but I only use it on tracks (I know it's not a racing 450) and I removed the headlights more than ten years ago. Over the years I've used a forum called CafeHusky which has been a very pleasant and friendly virtual environment in which I've helped...

    Hi. Sorry for the issue; I hope you are not injured. I live in Italy and here in august companies tipically close for 2 or 3 weeks for vacations; as far as I know it happens in other European countries, too; maybe Stark in Spain is closed or many of their employees are on vacation, so I am not...

    Paralysed Doug Henry wins a World Vet motocross race using a modified Varg

    And here is an onboard, too: @ roughly 6:00 in the first video you can see his setup better: the original saddle has been replaced with that special one having a backrest and side braces, if I have seen right. Following AJ Catnzaro's advice that I've heard in his videos, even when I sit I push...

    A Suspension Tuners Take on Stark

    He mentioned the weight distribution; now in the tutorials and technical section of Stark's site there is a specification sheet file in which they have written, in the suspension section, F48% R52%, which I guess means 48% weight on the front and 52 on rear.

    New VARG Software Update.

    Yesterday at the track I updated the bike and noticed that it was less powerful, so I checked the maps settings and found out the same thing, then set it to 60 HP again and it felt pretty powerful again. I wonder whether it's proper to use this feature for things different from riding or moving...

    There is also a hole on the right side of the spoiler assembly to access the top battery shaft quicker.

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Those prices are still the same, so probably you are right. @Tim Sharp: from your pictures I can't understand whether the area where the pull rod mates to the power unit has been changed in Gen 2, as a corrective action to this failure...

    Update with reverse/crawl mode

    In their Instagram post they wrote that there is also an anti whiskey throttle function; that's interesting. That's understandable, but according to their manual (that I downloaded months ago; I don't know whether it has benn changed) the bike needs to be updated when the LED is magenta, so IMO...

    Update with reverse/crawl mode

    The video has been released on their official YouTube channel today and according to their Instagram profile the update is now available. (I won't update right now because usually I update the bike at the track after having completed a couple of sessions so I don't waste my track day if...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    I guess that if water seeps into those cracks it can electrically shock the rider and damage the inverter, too. From Foss: In the Stark's website I see that now they have listed the powertrain again as a spare part and there is also a gen2 conversion kit, but the prices must be wrong: 3,500 €...

    EV sportcars/supercars from brands which became icoinc with ICE

    Well, I would expect Porsche, Ferrari etc. to stick to their traditions and to be superior to trends like SUVs; I guess that at the end of the day they care about their revenues just like everybody else and so they adapt to what people want. So yes, I agree that an electric Ferrari is more...

    EV sportcars/supercars from brands which became icoinc with ICE

    IMO an insanely cool sounding EV, at least from videos. is the McMurtry car: the motor sounds pretty cool and the aerodynamics even better. Some weekends ago unfortunately somebody got hurt seriously at the MX track and so they called a helicopter to bring him/her to the hospital: no two stroke...
