I do realize that it is small and for that reason i think the Stark is superior, just not for it having more raw torque. This one i've been looking for and superbly tells what i used a lott of words for. Were you to change a sprocket on the YZ you could actually make fun of it having more rear...

See my edit.

I don't change it all the time, but it might be a bit technical. Oke, but we don't have the torque number of that Yamaha on the output shaft/primary pinion. So comparing is quite hard. I have however taken some YZ450 gear ratio's from Chat GPT (but for our simple calculation that should do)...

No a Yamaha 450 makes around 50Nm at the crankshaft. That is something 3 reduction gears removed from the output shaft. An ICE can make more power at lower speeds because it can make more rpm at lower speed due to the greater reduction. Less torque but way more rpm makes for more power. If...

I'm not saying E is not superior, but just the numbers are not that wildly more than a normal ICE. And apples to apples... 275Nm is at the output shaft. That's not that hard to get on an ICE and i'm quite sure there are some that actually pull around that. If we have a good described engine i...

Stark has completely different gearing to other bikes. The final sprocket ratio is roughly the same, but inside the powerplant it's nothing alike. And you can change rear wheel torque by 10x, or a 100x, or a 1000x if you can slip in enough reduction gears. The 990 has 103Nm on the crankshaft...

So far i had little challenges with starting races. It actually has been quite reliable (1 dead battery and 1 handlebar switch that broke). However it does have a hard time finishing my 2 hour CrossCountry races. I don't think the MX 1.2 or EX would do either. When we get into the predicted by...

Welcome to the wonderfull world of gearing. Wich is indeed a loss on power, but actually a torque multiplier. There are multiple rear wheel torque measurements that go up and around Stark numbers. 1 of wich was a YZ450 that was also posted on this forum. If you really wanted you could surpass...

Depends in the gear. In first gear an ICE does about the same torque. Especially if you play with the sprockets.

Overheating mostly seems to occur at higher regen modes. Do you remember what regen you ran? Also with taller gearing i feel like i'm loosing less power over time so maybe less overheating problems.

The rear sprocket is just a KTM one and can be found all over the place.

I just hope their SM wheels will be as cheap as the MX ones. That would completely ruin the KTM SM wheel market. As far as i can see they either widened the triple clamp OR they used a smaller tyre than 120 in front.

@Karinshi 17' or 18' wheel is the difference here ;)

That was what we were missing on the Varg, i was a bit low on power :ricky: I don't care if it could do 120 hp, my arm can only do about 48hp in MX setting.

It only touches fot the first km ;)

Correct the reading for different sprockets.

15 does fit on the MX.

With the 15 it's still bloody fast in acceleration as well. On 60 hp it will still backflip from a standstill with 15-48. You can use the KTM/Beta sprockets as well as those from all Starks. Mind you, the speedo will give a wrong reading.

The one does not rule out the other and one war is not every war ;)

Well that makes live a bit harder to make something fit.
