Agreed. Stark is not a great software company. Concept, proto, and initial production they are excellent and having all the right ideas is their sweet spot. I love the products but long term production can't rely on early adopters, concept/ideas, and DIYers to sustain a modern business. We...

Sorry to hear that. Maybe this thread will help: https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/brand-new-stark-varg-ex-won%E2%80%99t-start-%E2%80%94-no-led-no-charging-no-bluetooth-no-response.4270/

I wish they would change the design of that button system. I have a 1.0 but it seems like a similar button system on all the models. They are not robust in the elements. My 2014 WR 450 has more robust sealing on its buttons. A well done rubber boot would be a big improvement. Some people have...

A paper clip or a piece of wire or a pick can be a lifesaver if you drop your Stark in mud or soft soil. If the switches on the bars get submerged in mud or dirt the debris can cause the switch to fail and leave you stranded. Made the mistake of a "quick short ride" without a toolkit and sure...

Either carry a chain breaker or add a master link to the continuous chain (I have mentioned this elsewhere). Pushing a Stark is like trying to push a gas bike in gear using the clutch. It is not easy. Even a 1/2 mile to a clearing in the gnarl can be a lot of work. Some people have suggested...

Yes and they would likely see it as potentially cannibalizing future sales too. Ultimately the market is limited and inducing repeat sales is a balancing act.

Did they actually ever agree to do that? I am going into my 3rd year of ownership and I have never received a proper "release notes" which is what most software houses provide. This typically contains things like new features, general changes, bugs fixed, and version compatibility.

I have another year left on my current Stark. I would be out-of-warranty too but I am on my second Gen 1 since my first one got stolen. I am kind of surprised that "legal limitations" are the reason at least here in the United States. We invented extended warranties. The registers at Home Depot...

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.
