Agree 💯. And I too love the bike and yes some things can be improved. On the buttons I think these should be sealed in form fitting rubber boots (I have said this around here and on the other thread before), similar to what they do with control buttons on Japanese bikes like the WR450. Dirt...

Not sure I have never had a problem with my gen1. But bluetooth can be a mixed bag of reliability even with the same devices say two of the same pixel 10s. A wired connection is always a good back up. BTW I thought we had a thread like this somewhere else around here?

Agreed 💯 . Just a note, I consider performance as overall performance that includes range, weight, power, flexibility/swappability. Performance probably wasn't the best choice of words there. TBH I consider the power nut already mostly cracked by Stark. And you are correct IMHO about those...

AI only has the typical data available in public documentation. It is a convenient way to not have to pour through marketing noise but generally has no more information than blather that is out there. My guess is that they are avoid posting anything updated because they don't want a PR problem...

Did you get your bike from a dealer? If so, I would contact them even before I contacted Stark.

💯 Agree. I shipped my KTM 300 2T and Yam WR 450f out to my brother in the southwest where longer range is needed. And replaced my local ride with my Stark for loops like you ride here on the US east coast. For slower HE gnarl I can get about 4 hours on my MX1. I carry a portable Anker Solix...

I am skeptical as well. But if these Donut guys do have something it would probably turn the battery market on its head. The Chinese and Asian companies are already speeding up their SS efforts I think. And it would be a feather in the European getting the tech there first cap. That said I am...

The Ultra Bee is a great choice especially if you are focused on trail riding. The Stark Varg -- depending on how you use it -- is more oriented toward riders focused on MX, Enduro, and Hard Enduro and it competes pretty well with KTM's offerings and price/feature ranges. The Ultra Bee is...

I wouldn't hold my breath on that. It goes against 100 years of Harvard Business School logic and probably back at least to Egyptian markets well before BC... :ROFLMAO:

Cool. I don't think WP even have it wrung out completely yet. I think you probably made the right choice. Let us know how it works out for you.

Generally, I wouldn't say PDS is better for technical or HE riding. I own a relatively new KTM 300 2T PDS and there are both benefits and drawbacks to PDS. The benefits are ground clearance and sometimes lower seat heights and excellent stability in most riding cases. If your bike is similar in...

You could maybe use regen in reverse after that mid-climb stall 😁

Ya it mostly strikes me that the addition of the clutch is mostly to satisfy habit and concern rather than function on E bikes. And I have to admit, I myself thought I was sacrificing something when I got my first E bike (which was a Stark) and didn't have a clutch. The first time I rode an E...

Oh I see. Most of the moto and HE riders I ride with use the clutch to modulate power.

It reminds me of an old school compression release lever and my hunch is it operates with similar effect. At least it doesn't seem like something you could easily feather/modulate like an ICE clutch.

I followed the directions in the Stark video, I had forgotten about your post. I cleaned everything pretty well and had no real problems with the reverse nut. One small issue I had servicing the suspension was accessing the pullrod nut with a socket on the torque ratchet. To get the proper...

Stark must have hired some Microsoft guys to handle the "feature" of forced restart on upgrade... :ROFLMAO:

Whereabouts is that BTW?

Nice Vid.

@AL_V has an MX1 ircc. I weigh less and am probably a lot smaller than you but I don't really ride for miles. I can easily get 4+ hours on my MX1 but I am mostly always in the gnarl. Hard hills and deep greasy mud eat the battery for me. :ricky:
