    Multiple weeks Hard Enduro trip, what to bring?

    I would swap out the stock skid plate for something with more protection if you are going to be doing a lot of rocky terrain. Also skidding the linkage over rock, roots, and logs is not good for it and can induce crashes too. I have broken fins off the battery with the stock plate in rocks. I...

    Varg MX 1.2

    I should have looked into fed electric motorcycle tax credit. I got substantial credit on my solar panel and power station. I missed the MC credit though.

    Varg MX 1.2

    The executive branch is running out-of-control here. The power of the executive to levy tariffs was supposed to be limited to National Security. Its just a way to tax without admitting its a tax which is current administration's MO. People are just plain brain dead. The government here is...

    Varg MX 1.2

    Since Stark is apparently such a national security risk we should all be happy paying more taxes to the government via executive order... When Walmart tried to be transparent about pricing including tariffs they got a lashing from the executive branch tax collectors... :ROFLMAO:

    Button Unit get Stuck with dirt, Varg EX and MX

    I like the stock skid plate. But the AXP has some extra good protections. I switched to it after I broke some cooling fins off the battery on right side in a rock garden crash with the stock version. The AXP plate allows for more air flow/venting to the battery, shielding higher up the battery...

    Stark Varg “weave” (steering wobble)

    As others have suggested tire pressure and type of tire would be first on my list. I would swap out the front tire before I did anything to settings and work my way from the wheel up. Next spokes and balance. Hacking at steering bolts, torques, and suspension before you eliminate the contact...

    Button Unit get Stuck with dirt, Varg EX and MX

    The Stark guys need to break out the 3D printer and use the dimensions to make a properly formed rubber boot with fasteners on the bottom with fasteners like the rubberized cable ties they have. Probably could charge 50.00 USD at Slavens for it. BTW I bought my new AXP skid plate (the first...

    I am going with these for the kind of hard enduro I do:

    Yes. Or the ones you got are available from Walmart online as well.

    Button Unit get Stuck with dirt, Varg EX and MX

    I wouldn't recommend the brand in the Amazon link. If you read the description it mentions moisturizes but is not really clear. However, they are infused with aloe vera it smells and I don't think the switch needs to be moisturized... :muutt:

    Button Unit get Stuck with dirt, Varg EX and MX

    That is a good point. On my Yamaha the rubber boot that protects the switches is formed to prevent that. Nevertheless, I am going to try the simple fix. As it is I have found the buttons on the MX can be somewhat flakey --especially when transitioning drive modes between crawl, reverse, and drive.

    Slimeball snake oil salesman have been with us forever it is not just a modern phenomena. If is sounds too good to be true it probably is --still holds like it has for centuries.

    Varg MX 1.2

    It was not just hot starting with the earlier generations. Until 2006 they couldn't even get compression release right. And they were bears to start both hot & cold. And the carbs were total hunks of shit for years and years and years and years. My 2015 WR450F with electric start and FI is not...

    Varg MX 1.2

    Well the Alta was great I was ready to buy one when I got my 300tpi. But Stark went further than Alta in range and power. And put themselves in a different class than Alta. I know you and others have had some problems I am not discounting that. But just look at TPI and TBI bikes and the Stark is...

    Button Unit get Stuck with dirt, Varg EX and MX

    I have replaced many button units on the MX. I use my bike for enduro and have dropped the bars into deep mud and dirt and it has caused problems. Sometimes you can use a thin piece of wire to clean around the edges and free a stuck button other times I have been forced to push because a stuck...

    Varg MX 1.2

    While the yz450f is now a proven bike. The current core tech wasn't and that ran from 2010-2017 as not being a good bike. And until 2021 when Ferrandis won 2021 AMA outdoors many were still skeptical that it was any good in the US. Go over to TT if you don't believe me, it used to have its own...

    Varg MX 1.2

    With all the new features nobody noted that the tube "choice" is either mousse or changing out the plastic inserts for real tubes upon arrival. 1000.00 sales tax haha what does that protect Harley's closing of Alta... 🤔
