Stark app/phone records even loading the bike in the van as a ride. No real need for that. Better to have some threshold of time/distance or a manual toggle to record it as a ride. Also, Stark app splits the actual ride into segments if the bike is turned off during it. It would be better if...

Varg speedo/distance is inaccurate [lower] by ≈5% compared to a GPS watch which I trust. This is for short rides of 20-30km.

Good result, Erwin. Now put it on 80hp and ride it like a rental. ;) @brongle , Can you get the HP and Regen values for specific (1-5) maps to show? My preference would be: as large as possible map number in the middle of the screen and to the side current HP and Regen. Battery SOC number...

That is very unfortunate. I commiserate wholly. Especially as my bike is from the same batch, and I'm, in a manner of speaking, on an island without support and surrounded by taxes. My impression based on recent reports is that the good will from Stark company has ended. There will never again...

Thanks. What was the total distance/engine time for the whole trip?

@Erwin P Please tell us what was worth carrying on the bike/van/person and what was unnecessary or overkill. Do you still plan to get a generator for the Varg?

/off topic Please post more photos of New Zealand terrain. :lurker:

Here's another fun fact: Varg's bow is so narrow (compared to a 2T) that you will roost your own feet to a noticeable level.

They pack smaller and weigh much less than rubber so can be carried as spares. I changed the rear one as well. It's different make than the front. Made by this company: Tubolito - Beyond the norm

Stark red "Power Tubes" are still a throw away item. Puncture at the stem after 50km/2h of use. Pressure was 0.9bar/13psi. I haven't had a puncture in years using rubber inner tubes on this terrain. It's possible that a nut on the stem would help. Has anyone tried to patch these TPU tubes...

I would like a separate parking switch to quickly toggle crawl forward and reverse. There is no tactile feeling from the + and - buttons on the EX switch.

That's fantastic. Thank you so much. Very kind of you to take the time and effort to design it. Have you printed it yourself? I'll see what I can source locally.

If they can add something extra (I don't really know what SM riders want) then they can induce MX/EX street riders to sell and get the new SM. That would automatically double the presence of Vargs in urban areas and act as free advertising. I expect they must do something about power...

Slightly less awkward alternative to the toe protector condom: https://share.temu.com/kCnp7IKjtNB

Numbers of units sold in Italy and Spain would be interesting to know. Germany making 50% doesn't ring true, I must admit. Do you have the numbers of units sold of Beta, Sherco, TM and other small manufacturers since the Varg came to the market? Those are the customers Stark is pulling away...

Here's a suggestion for a simple 3D print: Plugs for front and rear axle openings so as to keep the dirt and moisture out. Interference fit, nothing fancy. On other bikes I plug the axle with silicone, but on the Varg one side is pretty large and the other is the Hex screw so silicone won't suit.

Looks like I'm the only one saddened that Stark is moving away from off-road and racing. :cry:

I did that two times. Cleared, deleted and reset everything available, but it didn't help.

Pretty sure I disconnected the Svag app. I did it twice, wiped cache and data and ultimately deleted it from the phone and turned off Bluetooth. I also gave the Stark app about half an hour to think it over, but without result. Only thing that made a difference was the "hard shutdown" of the...

Svag app (Android) connected instantly to the EX, and I can see the dashboard and control everything. However, now I can't get Arkenstone phone to connect to the bike. Svag app will connect again but not the Varg app. I've tried disconnecting the first, uninstalling the Varg app (as much as it...
