I wouldn't bother with stripping the button assembly down I have just bought new ones. I have posted many times about the buttons. I am guessing those button are made or at least designed in Europe. Buttons on 10 year old Japanese and Chinese bikes have booting systems to protect them from the...

Good point. @MotoBoy6996 did you get your bike from a dealer?

Can you go to their website and see if the throttle is same on the MX and EX? If so, I might have an extra one I could FedEx to you. BTW the throttle does not come with the grip so no matter where you get it you will probably need a new one.

You should definitely get an MSO. In fact, there was a problem with the bike with my MSO and the dealer straightened it out immediately for me

I am glad about this since my Stark was stolen. At least in my experience Stark only bricks bikes that have been reported stolen (and you need a police report plus your title and bill of sale(BOS), also having the name of the investigating officer is helpful in the US) --BTW you will need that...

Oh yea best technical single track, enduro, hard enduro, nasty gnarl trail bike ever. Don't even ride my KTM 2T anymore gave it to my brother.

Interesting. Was the switch just sticky or did it get dirt invasion?

I still can't understand the religion of powerplants. 2T, 4T, E who cares? People wrapping their lives around smoke or no smoke is pathetic. The most important thing for Stark IMHO is to continue to sell bikes and make profits and not end up like KTM with 250,000 ICE bikes in a warehouse needing...

That was pretty good. This is one area that I think Stark should try to improve on. Getting a good bike into production as soon as possible led to expected compromises and I think battery mount was one of them. Re-engineering mounting, extraction, and insertion won't take new technology...

I think it will be harder to reduce 4T noise even with enduro exhaust. I used some of the FMF noise reducing exhausts on my previous 4Ts and I don't think a few db will make a difference to a lot of the complainers especially if there are many bikes. The new yz450f is loud on intake and...

One of the key selling features of the Stark is noise reduction. Engine noise complaints by track neighbors have at least been partly to blame for pressure to close tracks in the US at least. And 4Ts have not really been quieter than 2Ts. Plus, engine sound is not always a good safety indicator...

Ok thanks. It is very odd the way your bike ended up. Just sitting. I have had issues after crashes, for example I submerged the handlebars deeply into nasty mud & muck on the powerbutton side (I ride my bike in Enduro conditions) and that caused very weird behavior. On the MX the powerbutton...

Did you have any crashes or any other riding event? Your case seems slightly different than what @A.I. is reporting. That case the bike died while sitting.

Did you try connecting the charger?

I would imagine any SAE 75w90 would meet the requirements. There is no clutch or any slipping parts so as long as it meets the SAE you should be good. Oh BTW as you can tell after draining it uses a very small amount of oil, so a bottle goes a long way. I usually flush a little clean oil...

This is what I use. You can get it almost anywhere. Some places like Partzilla around 11.00:

Be careful with the drain plug if you have a bolt that only has a star, the aluminum is very soft and can easily strip. Some units seemed like they were over torqued from the factory too. There were enough complaints that Stark changed the design and the newer design has both the star and a...

Stolen bikes can be turned off from the factory so just because someone complains doesn't mean there might not be more to the story. Most of us in these parts have had ok experience with CS but there are some who have not. Can you tell us in detail what the issues are you are having? Can you...

You must ride a lot harder than me. I don't ride MX anymore --hard enduro, trials, slow gnarl, and etc. Limited WOT. I am sure the 450 is probably better for what you do that bike was years in the making. I still think for non MX the Stark is pretty competitive. I like my Stark better than my...

My experience is similar. I ride mine mostly in hard enduro and trail riding. I have long left the track. I was so pleased with my bike that after my first MX got stolen I replaced it with the exact same thing through my dealer and insurance settlement. I could have spent more and gotten an EX...
