I've just noticed that Adrien Goguet, a professional, probably used this radial Beringer: look at the pictures here.

Personally, I find drifting one of the coolest thing in supermoto both as an amateur rider and a as spectator and I wonder how can one achieve that on a Varg like mine, it feels way harder than with a 4 stroke because of the little regen brake. I've watched some footage of a French rider, Adrien...

It does sound pretty weird that they don't offer anything better. Like @HadesOmega's said some posts ago, if amateurs like us can convert gas bikes into electric without spending crazy amounts of money and still getting decent results, it' normal to wonder how can't a giant like them do better...

I don’t know whether it was the AXP or another one, but I remember having noticed an aftermarket skid plate that included some rubber block that, after the installation, would have been sandwiched between the plate and the battery. The problem is: how much force should be transmitted to the...

Here is that kit. It doesn't include a complete pump, just a different cover for it since there is one extra hose.

I think you are talking about my comment: I wasn’t actually attacking the bike, just trying to give an opinion as technical and unbiased as possible to someone who asked for opinions about a bike that few people have tested. I just hoped to raise JayC’s awareness of what he is buying and to...

I suppose it's more a choice than an inability to release it. While it's true that many Vargs have been sold, it's also true that a lot of hatred towards electric dirtbikes has been spread and maybe Honda just doesn't think that it's a smart move to show support for them now. I think that, if...

Some opinions from him about the CR Electric: The fact that the bike is all machined isn't surprising: since it's a prototype, it's not convenient to make casting patterns for few units which are likely to be modified multiple times. The fact that it has basically a CRF frame with an electric...

I agree with their reasoning and for MX use I surely don't want to buy any other skid plate. I believe them when they state that they've validated that skid plates with testing and I doubt that aftermarket companies have done the same. Maybe they have sent this email as a consequence of that...

I've indeed found videos of motocrycles having a rear fuel tank catching fire and I'll post some, to put things into perspective, since EV haters are indeed very ready to state they've never seen a gas bike catching fire: but i've also found others of front tank bikes catching fire...

It's hard for me, too to lock the wheel and other people have reported the same.

Isn't the caliper the redundant part? Since its part number is the same for both hand and foot brake, if you have the foot brake you can reuse it. Well, at this point I would say that if someone wants to switch to hand brake, then it's cheaper and better to just buy the master cylinder, the...

Well, we can state some things from what we know. One thing that I find interesting is that, from the pictures, I think that they use a progressive spring for the rear shock instead of using linkages or more shock tilt to get the progression. Explanation for those who need it: generally you...

It's weird, though, that Stark sends the components already assembled if they have to be taken apart again to then change the fluid and replace the copper/aluminum washers. I understand that Stark makes such sub-assemblies for the production line in the factory, where they can be installed...

Here is the routing of a Varg which came with a LHRB; the routing is highlighted in yellow: I suppose that you could try: 1- checking whether the master cylinder can pass between the frame, the VCU and the battery if it does, 2- removing the rear shock and hopefully making the master cylinder...

I agree, it's possible that it's happened because of modifications. When there is a flood for example, especially if salt water is involved, EVs can catch fire, even days after the water intrusion, because of the short circuit generated by the water. I guess that it is possible that there was...

In the battery replacement video tutorial, they first disconnect the CAN BUS and only afterwards they disconnect the orange power cable. I can't see whether that cable was connected while you were using that multimeter. Was it disconnected? In which state was the bike when you disconnected the...

Answering to the fact that there is no voltage, here is a measurement of a disconnected battery, that I discourage to replicate since it's probably dangerous. The measured voltage is the one of the battery. I assume and I hope that the current wouldn't be allowed to flow or I don't see the use...

I think that this is a good general piece of advice, but in the specific case of Stark, IMO they should really take care of their reputation. A lot of people already hate them for no valid reason and surely I don't want those people to have some racing failures to utilize as arguments. Now, I'm...

It's also hard to foresee the battery duration using technical data. One way in which you can try and estimate whether the 7.2 kwh battery of the MX 1.2 would finish an MXGP race is to consider that, ideally, it can provide an average power of 14.4 kw (19 hp) for half an hour (because...
