    Ordering next week, do I get a 60hp or 80hp version?

    I recommend an open field or somewhere that you can open it up safely. Tight trails with a lot of trees is not recommended first time. The throttle is graduated so you won't loop out with more HP unless you blast wide open with great traction, otherwise given the weight distribution of the...

    Battery related issues thread

    @Karinshi I wouldn't force the bike to 100%. Actually I never charge my battery that high with my system which is working properly. I keep it below 95% and 90% is even better if you can get enough riding time. I am guessing you have some bad cells in your battery that are on the edge. Have you...

    Battery related issues thread

    This^^^ @Karinshi if you have a pending update you may want to do that before you do anything else. You may even want to do a firmware update regardless if an update is pending. Also I wouldn't do that button sequence after the bike detects full charge on a regular basis, it might damage or...

    Ordering next week, do I get a 60hp or 80hp version?

    I am with @markhamr. I had the 80 with an 18" rear and foot brake. My bike was near perfect for me. Absolutely loved it and is what I am going to replace my stolen bike with again. BTW the only aftermarkets I added were Acerbis handguards, IRC heavy duty tubes, and an AXP extended skid plate...

    Reduce Drag Stark

    @markhamr I meant rolling it if broken down with no ability to do anything but red light. Agree with chain breaker, but I hate to do stuff like that just to push bike out of the woods or to a clearing. Agree on the really quick too. I had a jam on one of my old KTMs, I was lucky to get to the...

    Stark Varg Stolen 4-27-2025

    Yes power on is all they can do. Which is what I want so then Stark can provide the coordinates to the police. It is the bike itself. It is similar to upgrading the firmware, the bike can connect to Stark without the phone at all. Also I am lucky I still have the phone. The phone is matched...

    Varg Weights

    The WR450 is only 10 years old and that lady would take offense if you called her 30... The XR ya ok close to 30, but she was never an old hag and got me home many times when others could not...:ricky:

    Varg Weights

    I have found changing technique helps a lot with wheeling and wheeling obstacles (which is common for the riding I do) with the Stark. With ICE bikes you can use more limited throttle because the clutch often acts like an alternate or second throttle if you will. So we have gotten into the habit...

    Stark Varg Stolen 4-27-2025

    Yes I have told the police about it. One thing the Stark folks noted was there are some limits since some of the interactions require the presence of the Blue Tooth connected phone (I still have the phone). They were able to see the last time my bike was powered on with coordinates which was...

    new to the electric bike thing

    I am smaller and I can handle the Varg weight wise no problem. Just to be clear the left hand brake is braking not slipping like a rekluse. The throttle control on the Varg can only be described as awesome, it is fly by wire and gives you orders of magnitude more control than a clutching...

    Stark Varg Stolen 4-27-2025

    Not exactly sure, I think it is VCU and Drivetrain. Less sure on the battery, I know for sure the CMOS would be alive. I am thinking one of the discussion threads a while back may have been a case of a factory lock now that I have to think of it for real (say maybe for a loan default). That...

    Stark Varg Stolen 4-27-2025

    Hi All, My 2024 Varg was stolen from my garage and was a carry away to a vehicle or truck in Methuen, Massachusetts sometime after midnight on 4/27/2025. A police report was filed and the bike is factory locked and inoperable except for power on --and does not have the phone which I still have...

    Yes great idea!! My bike has Acerbis hand guards and an Acerbis black front lift strap with a Motobikes Plus logo on the front fender. It was taken as pictured with the toe-straps on the handle bars. They took the Yamaha stand its on as well as the Varg stand. I will create a separate thread...

    Hi All, Stark was really helpful and was able to lock my bike so it is not operable. Also they are monitoring the VIN as the thieves will likely want to get a phone to sell it and they did not get my original phone. Once Stark gets your info into their DB is will be difficult to get anything...

    Thanks for the kind thoughts and ideas. I will talk to the police about it. There were a number of car break-ins in the area of my garage that night. In fact, my neighbor who parks right next to me reported that someone had gotten into her car and rummaged around glove box and etc. The local...

    They stole the heavy Stark stand plus another metal stand and a bunch of other chargers (DeWalt, Makita, Craftsman) so it would have been hard to ride it away. Also they were able to access the garage through the keypad so they either somehow got the code or hacked/snooped it. And there were...

    Yes I contacted them. I will follow up tomorrow. I asked them to lock/brick the bike. I have the title, phone, and police report. The Stark is not that easy to steal, the thieves must of had a truck or trailer close by, the bike was on a stand and rolling the bike far would be difficult. They...

    Friends, unhappy to report that my Varg was stolen today. Somebody broke into my garage. Instead of riding today I spent time with the police. They missed a few things that will make it difficult to use and it will be tracked once they figure out how to turn it on.
