Not sure but according to Sam the AI agent at Stark the extended warranty is not available in the US. Prompt: Does Stark still offer extended warranties? "Yes, Stark Future still offers an Extended Warranty in eligible countries, but it is currently not available in the United States (and...

I could be mistaken about this vid, but one of these cases was the result of a user modification.

My warranty showed wrong at the website and I sent a pic of my Bill of Sale and they fixed it.

It might be part of the scam, but it is a lot of trouble to scam this far and to take a product this far --though it has been done before. If it is a scam Lehtimaki is going to have lose weight if he wants to compete with the top rock stars in the snake oil field: 😁

Yes that is what I am expecting them to say. But if Donut gets something to market fairly close with most of the bases covered BYD won't be able to wait. The demand for LFP and Sodium will likely collapse and all that investment would be impacted. As would current sales. If SSB is truly on the...

If Donut has some street cred even if not entirely true, it might push the large industry to move more quickly. Fast delivery of new tech on the part of the big guys will tend to cannibalize their current investments --so rather than push new innovation it gets slowed somewhat. I have seen this...

I like these conversions if still available:

There were many aftermarkets that were good. More protective, more cooling, and with good design protecting linkage and battery. Stark would not support warranty if used. My AVS plate was recalled and they did refunds. Stark stated that the shear of the mount bolts was the issue. This could have...

That is rare. It works against selling service and new parts.

Jesus Christ. Initially I read your latest post and I thought you pulled the pull rod bearing finally with the slide hammer and got lucky, then I re-read and realized it was worse than I thought. These are supposed to be easy DIY maintenance jobs...arrgh.

This isn't exactly the same but this guy uses a screwdriver and hammer to remove the first bearing in the pull rod of this KTM rebuild. It looks straight through to me but he removed the first bearing like that and then pressed out the second one. I suppose if you are replacing the bearings is...

Can you press the bearings out in the pull rod maybe with a vise? I would just take torch to the rod and press them if possible.

I was going to bet on AI... :ricky:

That's unfortunate with my Yamaha yzs you could press them both out one after the other. There are some inexpensive puller kits available on Amazon if you don't have one. I have the Tusk kit that I got from Rocky Mountain. It is kind of cheap but does the trick for most basic cases, but I...

I think you are right but I don't think they are trying to get away for less it is intentional. One thing to consider is the American market. We don't really have a motorcycle culture like Europe and much of the rest of the world. Motorcycles here are almost entirely recreational vehicles (even...

Agreed. I think they use the lightweight less expensive stuff to keep the prices lower while keeping the margins high. At least in North America the appetite for US 10k+ dirtbikes is extremely limited especially among younger riders. I am not sure about some of these models but I have seen...

I think the reason there is no "call to arms" is because there is not all that much enthusiasm for the PRO subscription at least among the 1.0 users I know.

I recently pulled my swing arm and linkage. Most of the bearings did have sufficient grease and were in good condition. The one exception was the pull rod, the bearing and race which were kind of dry and there was a mild scuff on one part of the race. Everything seemed in ok condition so a...

Ya that sounds like a defect that should be a first check not a 6 weeks later customer discovery. I am glad Stark sends out parts (and often times expensive parts) but that has to erode margins and ultimately hurts the business. Spending a little more on QC upfront might catch some of these...

I am a short Italian guy and never have lowered a bike since it is a suspension compromise I don't want or need. I tried a link on my older xr400 and it was not a good compromise for me. For most situations I have found training/drills that specifically target those situations where lean and...
