All phones are Chinese including the iPhone.

All phone providers throughout the entirety of the foodchain from hardware, operating system, and applications collect logs (which vary in their intrusion/privacy level). And the communication systems have been doing this for a long long time. I am not saying I like it but we pretty much agree...

Yes. Bleeding is also covered in the Stark video: So it is not an unexpected operation. They use pink coolant which means a pink coolant that meets Euro/Asian vehicle standards should be fine. The only caveat in my mind is to not mix colors. There were threads on TT back in the day even the...

I wouldn't recommend mixing or using the orange Engine Ice or green Prestone. I think you would be safer with a pink marked for Euro/Asian vehicle use. Peak, Prestone, and Zerex and others all offer pink coolants for Euro/Asian vehicles. It is not about heat protection with the colors all of...

Generally I think you are safe to use a coolant of the same color. In the coolant bleed video they use pink coolant and you should be safe to top off with the same color. Typically with coolants these days it is recommended to not mix colors, mostly due to gaskets and seals rather than specific...

I bet they could sell them all quickly in India for low prices. Which is probably what Bajaj will do.

Dirtbikes have high margins because their volumes are abysmal in the US at least. Trailbikes have all but vanished for the average outdoor enthusiast in the US. They have been completely replaced by ATVs and SxSs and 4wheel OHVs. The large growth in off road motorcycles in the US (60s, 70s...

Yes agreed. My guess is the Chinese will largely take a pass on dirtbikes and dirtbike racing unless it can appeal to developing markets. They and the Indians are looking for volume sales of manufactured goods. As it is now the Japanese pretty much make offroad bikes for high priced advertising...

I think they can easily match performance the question is do they want to. Kove is ok and CFMoto competes very well in markets they go after. CFMoto was rumored to be making parts for KTM. Seems the Chinese motorcycle manufacturers are where the Japanese were 40 years ago but the market has...

I am. I slid off a highway trestle and my plastics and carbon fiber got really damaged. I had to reinforce the rear fender mounts with washers because the fender mount fasteners got pulled through the plastic. It wasn't a crash just a slide down on the plastics and then an entanglement but my...

I bought both my Starks from a local dealer who had previously sold me my KTMs. I have had bad luck with mail order on big tickets. Plus, even on little tickets I have had stuff missing or the wrong thing shows up. I wasn't taking that chance for $10,000+. Plus, on my first Stark there was a...

I would argue India and the developing world in general are the markets. Many of those countries/areas have a long history of motorcycle culture due to transportation, utilitarian use, and cost. In peculiar, North America never had that at any type of use scale and it is distinct in that even...

Dirtbikes are like flyshit to Honda though. And the only real market that matters to them is the American market and that E market is extremely limited and largely hostile to E. Honda will let others eat the cost of innovation and market establishment if there is one. My guess is that they are...

I think both brands are good. Both Jackery and Bluetti are well known and reputable. I have an EcoFlow Delta Pro 3.6kw and 2 Anker Solix 1000s 1.8kw. I have been pleased with both brands, they are all pretty competitive a lot comes down to features and price. I got a great deal on the Ankers...

Yes maybe they would cover the bottom not sure. The real difference is the coverage of the side of the battery --at least for me-- which is very exposed. Since I don't have my previous Stark any longer I can't send a pic (the thieves got the broken battery fins) but the extended side of the...

Will Stark warranty a battery damaged in use? I thought it covered defects and workmanship? I would find it very surprising if they replaced a battery obviously damaged in use like a rock cracking the magnesium. Maybe I should go back and read that warranty, I didn't think it was unlimited...

Foam could be installed I think. In fact, a thin piece of foam is included on the bottom of the AXP plate. The AXP is much much thicker plastic so the trade off is increased coverage and stronger plastic for shock resistance vs less coverage with thin plastic and foam for shock resistance...

I don't have a problem with the stock plate itself and its good padding. But coverage of the battery, linkage, and other under parts is not too good off of dead center. I would have stuck with OEM but the broken fins were a warning for me at least. I did come down on angle in rock garden, and...

I use the AXP after breaking fins off the battery in rocky terrain with the stock skidplate. Slavens Racing recommends either the AXP of the Molecule for HE.

My 2014 WR450F would boil the gas during normal use stock from the factory until I added a cooling fan. The way I found about it was I parked my bike in the garage after a ride and went to my work room and when I came back to the garage my 8 year old son asked my what was the sound my bike was...
