SAM isn't always up to date - maybe it was originally intended to work like this but hasn't made it into production (yet)? Shane Pinney mentioned it in one of his first EX videos on YouTube - works in the US just like you described.

Had that too in the beginning, but it seems to have sorted itself now. Yesterday I had an update pending on the bike, version went to 1.2.4 - don't know if that changes anything, but you may want to check on your bike as well.

The blue LED is the key for successful charging. There can be situations when the bike behaves like it is charging but the LED is yellow which means there is something wrong. Might be a problem with an extension cable or you wall plug so that the charger will not work.

While an automotive DC charger would be a natural choice, the connectors on those are pretty big already. So even if you figure out the CAN part, the adapter and cable would still be quite bulky as I don't think you could take a lot of short cuts with the voltage and amperage involved.

There is a CAN communication protocol documentation for the aftermarket EVPT chargers available, but unless someone actually logs the CAN communication on the stark itself it still is not clear. The build specification of the Varg charger is C1000 which is not listed in the EVPT docs so it...
Funny, looks like mine which also has its place on the same 24mx mat - only difference my mat already has a hole worn through from those garage burnouts :ricky:

First a big thank you to gewoontim for bringing up the idea with the KTM Freeride charger cases. Unfortunately he seems very busy and doesn't do the kits anymore. On the other hand this made me take a closer look at the Freeride housing and I found it to actually be an almost perfect fit with...
Over here it is just a formality once you got the CoC (which I have). No inspection of the bike or such, you just take the papers to the insurance company of your choice and they will issue a license plate right away.

Deliveries are in full swing here (Austria). When I picked up mine from the dealer there were also 3 other guys picking up the EX. Ordered the bike in December and was promised an April delivery. No info until a week ago when I got the invoice and a call a day later to pick it up - can't...
Thanks for the info. If look at one of the above pictures there are the letters "RT" printed on the connector which seems to lead to the Amphenol RT360/RT series. They do have a metal shell though, but the lock pattern seems identical. https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1385607.pdf

What happens when you remove the 4 Torx screws - can you pull out the connector? Best case it is not soldered to a board directly and has some free length of cable. Might be worth a try.

The charger in the Varg is labeled as a "C1000" configuration which is not listed in the spec sheet of the EVPT23-32010. But since all CAN configurations start with "C" I'd strongly assume it is CAN as well, probably a Stark proprietary protocol.
Michael
In the comments he says that one of the buttons on the handlebar switch might be stuck - something that happened on the MX Varg as well. I don't think the EX has old style "fuses", probably more like electronic fuses like the latest KTM offroad generation that reset once the short has been...
