@Beagle: IMHO it should absolutely be opened already now and I guess that you would like to be the thread opener. Thanks for having shared this revolutionary piece of news.

I live in a small suburban town and I can definitely say that motorcycles do bother me with noise; i appreciated when some nights ago I heard the neighbour coming home and turning the engine off sooner and then coasting to his gate. Unfortunately, most of the people don't care and, on the...

Exactly. For me, it can surely be an interesting project that, if I prioritized it more, could have the money and time to be accomplished mostly for the satisfaction and the learning involved. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it would work in practice. At least here in Europe, it would be very hard...

Or just use KYB? Typically even the giants don't develop their own suspensions and use suppliers. Aside from Talaria, the only old, well known brand, maybe not a giant, that has their suspensions developed by theirselves is TM with their rear shock (that I tried on a TM300 of a guy I know and it...

Here are the results from Vancouver. This time Zaragoza's best time in SX1 has been 56.579 in race 3 and Hicks' best has been 56.340 in race 1: still faster in SX2.

Exactly: one thing is saying that it works, another is to state that, by doing a conversion, an average Joe like me can rely on a "bulletproof frame", like it should be better than a Varg with its newer design. That ICE frame has proven to be bulletproof for a different use. Maybe some pros have...

SInce the above makes sense I am surprised of the following: Not saying that it's false, it just sounds odd. The typical engine mounts on a motocross bikes are: • one coaxial with the swingarm axle, • one at the cylinder or cylinder head • one or more at the crankcases and according to a book...

Peace of mind is surely underestimated nowadays. Never forget about that!

Since you've said that they also need a bike for later, it is possible that you will still have a chance. First of all, I wouldn't take it for granted that you and this company can do it without having legal issues. Nowadays people are just used to produce media content involving products and...

Yes, I see that SOC drop in standby mode. People who have stored their Vargs for months after a complete shut down reported a minmal self discharge like you've said.

Yes because it should self discharge anyways. My 1.0 self discharges about 20% every two weeks, so probably it won't stay too charged for too much time.

Props to those who build their own e-dirtbikes and thank you for sharing your work, since it's important that people know that it's possible and it's also interesting to read about those conversions. However, converting an ICE has its pros and cons and I wouldn't say that it's something...

Oops, sorry, I thought I remembered it was but after having re-read your first post, I see that I remembered wrong.

Whatever you decide to tell Stark is up to you, but I second the suggestion of keeping it polite and diplomatic. Also remember that the person you are talking to probably isn't personally responsible for your issues, so it's also a matter of respect. You do sound like a polite person, but...

Surely the level is lower in SX2, but what I meant is that Hicks achieved better laptimes even though he could use less power.

Some thoughts: 1- in motocorss and supercross, the rider matters more than in other motorsports and Roczen hasn't been so dominant just thanks to that Suzuki. No offence to Stark's riders, but AFAIK, albeit being very skilled, they can't be competitive with riders like Roczen or Deegan and you...

In the Buenos Aires GP, Michael Hicks has set faster times in the superpole of the SX2 than the Stark riders in the qualifying of SX1, who haven't made it to superpole: Race Day Live - FIM World Supercross Championship

@True520: what firmware version are your bikes running? (You can see that in the Varg app under settings→your bike). What models are those bike, MX 1.0, MX 1.2 or EX?

Hello and welcome. As you can read in this thread, there has been an evolution for those tubes and apparently that patch was supposed to make that spot stronger, like Erwin P has just written above.
