    Steg Pegz!

    These are going mainstream in Moto. This should give a little relief while I get the forks worked out. I just ordered something a little different than a round puck, for a larger contact area. I will probably cut them in half?

    Jack hammer varg forks

    JBI is on V4-5-6? They keep on working on it. A lot of tuners had a big learning curve. The difference between a Stark is like the difference between a 2t and a 4t. Not too much discussion on the shock. I took 100cc out of each fork and finally getting better and using all the travel, back off...

    So... What Exactly Happened to ALTA Dirt Bikes? (Parts 1 and 2)

    I remember Marc was a regular at VitalMX, and even did a call in show IIRC? The amount of idiotic hate that e-moto has received since the beginning was unreal, almost everyone was against a quiet bike. Until they rode one. Larry Hughes, who worked for Alta as a dealer rep, was also a regular...

    So... What Exactly Happened to ALTA Dirt Bikes? (Parts 1 and 2)

    ELECTRIFYING NEWS FROM STARK At a time when LiveWire’s consolidated net loss was $19.3 million for the first quarter 2025 in order to sell 33 units globally, Stark Future recorded its highest-ever monthly revenue of €18.3 million while delivering a positive EBITDA of €2.8 million. Positive cash...

    What is the correct adapter for a 50 amp RV outlet?

    Thanks, I did not know the proper terminology

    Favorite hp setting for track on stark varg

    Only 2 rides in, but I’m finding my 60 super easy to modulate without too much unexpected power, it walks right up the loading ramp. Never got to try the earlier software versions. I am enjoying the 0% regen, and find that chopping the throttle on jumps still creates forward rotation. Range...

    Stark Varg on the Dyno

    Any update? Supermoto reports of Starks getting walked on longer straights. Has anyone dyno’d the 60 vs 80?

    Power Upgrade on the Varg

    IIRC the “80hp” Alpha maximum on the dyno is 63hp?

    Owner's Review The Torpedo bat of Dirt Bikes, first impressions.

    The brain power is underestimated. Not only do you go from 2 hands and 2 feet to only 2 hands, but your left hand doesn’t have to cover any stalling risk, or adjust rpm to an appropriate position with a clutch. It’s like freeing your mind from 2/3 of its usual routine, and the ability to keep...

    Owner's Review The Torpedo bat of Dirt Bikes, first impressions.

    I have been loading up my pickup with the bike off, and it’s just a little more difficult than a gas bike. The inherent drag is why I am using zero regen, there’s still some rolling resistance.

    Owner's Review The Torpedo bat of Dirt Bikes, first impressions.

    The ability to stand on the national MX track and trails for lap after lap were something I would never have imagined, but it’s a fact. I can’t easily explain how it works, I assume because you’re not constantly having to reposition your legs for shifting and braking. I rode more on the balls of...

    Owner's Review The Torpedo bat of Dirt Bikes, first impressions.

    2nd day even better. Swapped to a 14t countershaft and got a longer torque pull, wheelie at will, less wheelspin. Tightened the steering stem to 40ft lbs. but afraid to go further and break the bolt? The front end was less nervous. The shock doesn’t like trail speeds, but is great when on the...

    Owner's Review The Torpedo bat of Dirt Bikes, first impressions.

    I find it kind of weird that with that fancy tool kit the torque wrench doesn’t go below 20 when you need 17 for your front triple clamps, and there is no T 25 torque driver to adjust a chain so I am off to Northern tool to grab those.

    Owner's Review The Torpedo bat of Dirt Bikes, first impressions.

    I used your most recent settings and they worked out pretty darn good for a stock bike, thanks for the help on that. I’m changing today to the 14 tooth countershaft sprocket, I like the bike in the low end and not so much when it gets faster, it starts to make a whistling sound trying to keep...

    Owner's Review The Torpedo bat of Dirt Bikes, first impressions.

    First day impressions: Drivetrain is a cheater, suspension is good for stock. This bike is the Torpedo bat of dirt bikes. The ability to overcome mistakes with the motor always in the right “gear” is a bonus. No stalls like a typical moto bike in the trails. The ability to stretch a “gear” is...

    Stark Varg: Gearing for optimal range

    Now you are getting what I was saying. With a gas bike like my Beta 480, the rideability goes up with taller gearing. Less wheelspin and clutch and shifting, just cruise and it's got so much torque and flywheel stalling isn't an issue. The optimum spot for me is 15/48 which for most is...

    Stark Varg: Gearing for optimal range

    I think a lap time comparison would also be revealing. I'm not sure you could accurately measure battery usage in a few laps?

    Stark Varg: Gearing for optimal range

    I’m convinced this is the way, better rideability and range. RPM and wheelspin is the enemy. Waiting for someone to prove it. Sprockets are cheap, ridiculous torque to pull it. It’s also likely that dialing down regeneration would have similar effects. Braking is the enemy, rolling momentum is...
