    3D printed chainsaw mount

    I pretty much use PETG with everything these days. It prints really well, is strong, handles most environmental conditions well and is cheap. I'm sure ABS would work well too. I made new prints last night and was planning on trying it out today, but didn't assemble it until I got to the ORV...

    7 Support Tickets in 4 Months — Now a Drivetrain Issue Stark Says is Tires. It Isn't.

    He is unhappy that Stark isn't offering to replace the entire bike. I've worked at a few dealerships, cars and bikes, people have an attitude that if you have an issue with a new vehicle, you can make demands about replacing them or get your money back- and that isn't how it works. The US has a...

    3D printed chainsaw mount

    So I've been working on this for a few weeks. The ORV park that I do most of my woods riding is pretty big and when we have wind storms or snow storms, it can take a few weeks for downed trees to get cleared. I used to carry a small 6 inch electric saw, but that will only handle very small...

    7 Support Tickets in 4 Months — Now a Drivetrain Issue Stark Says is Tires. It Isn't.

    Classic engineer attitude. I've been a mechanic for almost 30 years, but since you're a genius, I'm not sure why you're asking us hicks for advice....? You might be surprised to find out, some of us know things we can't bother explaining to you.

    Brake levers go to the bar after sitting

    Left the bike at the dealership for 3 weeks. They couldn't reproduce the concern. They were nice and didn't charge me for letting it sit there, so could be worse. They had zero knowledge of how Vargs work - none of the people in service owned one. I asked if they could charge the bike before I...

    7 Support Tickets in 4 Months — Now a Drivetrain Issue Stark Says is Tires. It Isn't.

    Lost said exactly what I was going to say. I would definitely balance the tires - I always balance my dirt bike tires, because you can feel it even as low as 25mph and with wheel locks it can be really bad. I have also had a bad vibration caused by a loose axle and a tight chain, things to...

    Any other EX owners CA registration $400?!?

    That is $3000/year on the high end. That isn't terribly far from our tax. The value of the vehicle can drive it up a lot, which is why people go through a lot of effort to register luxury cars in cheaper states. I have never understood why ANY recreational vehicle has expensive tabs - they...

    Any other EX owners CA registration $400?!?

    Yes. It can vary a lot from state to state here, but most have a yearly tab renewal, ie, a tax. People with expensive cars often find ways to register their cars in cheaper states. In my state, about 10% of people just stop renewing their tabs. The cops can't pull you over for it (secondary...

    Any other EX owners CA registration $400?!?

    Thats about the same as here in WA. Any EV gets an extra $225 fee to compensate for lost gas taxes. My Tesla is almost $1000 for tabs. It is absurd.

    Change display from Celsius to Fahrenheit

    It doesn't exist. They will probably add that feature in the next 5 to 10 years. They are unbelievably slow at updating the app IMO. They still haven't fixed whatever is wrong with the mileage reading. My odometer has been off for months

    LHRB kinda weak/soft

    My rear brake locks up easily with 1 finger. As already said, the blead procedure is crucial. These are Brembo brakes with sintered brake pads - they are plenty grabby if there is no air in the system.

    Brake levers go to the bar after sitting

    I started the warranty ticket with Stark and after the usual long drawn out back and forth - sending videos, sending pics....they seem well aware of the issue and it was sounding like they were going to do something, but I get the impression someone higher up decided my case was too unusual to...

    Stark Varg SM enough range for my use?

    Agreed. The 390 is a great bike, overall. Really hard to beat the price

    Stark Varg SM enough range for my use?

    I have used my Varg EX with street tires to attempt to commute to my girlfriends house 34 mile away on the freeway (no real elevation change overall). For whatever reason, the Varg is really really bad on the freeway, as far as efficiency goes. I can barely make it to her house going slow on the...

    Owner's Review Range test Stark Varg EX on Dutch Enduro

    My summer riding was 40-45 miles, which is pretty similar range to temp ratio for my Zero dirt bike. My summer temps rarely get over 90 degrees F

    Owner's Review Range test Stark Varg EX on Dutch Enduro

    I'm sure there are many people who own Stark Varg EX's in colder climates than me, but I do ride year around and was curious what the range would be below freezing temps. Yesterday it was the first ride I went on that was below freezing, 30 degrees F or -1 degrees C. I didn't ride it to zero...

    Brake levers go to the bar after sitting

    Went riding yesterday and had no front brakes at all. The brakes were fine when I loaded the bike the night before. I almost crashed thanks to it, when I was going down a steep hill and another rider came around the corner. I started a ticket with Stark and sent them a video. I guess we'll see...

    Brake levers go to the bar after sitting

    My rear brake was a little soft for the first pull when I went to go riding Sunday - I've ridden it maybe 6 times since I replaced the brake pads and bled the master. So it seems to be a continuing problem for me also.

    Stark Varg brake pads

    In 1400 miles, I somehow wore out my front and rear brakes - I tend to use my brakes a decent amount while trail riding. I knew there were KTM bikes that used the same brake pads, but wasn't having much luck on getting confirmation on what to order. I ordered these brake pads from Amazon and...

    Intermittent no start - LED doing weird stuff (found problem)

    I received the new phone holder and installed it. As I expected, that fixed everything. I took her out for a thorough beating today, and I sure missed her! My backup bike these days is a KTM Freeride, which isn't a bad bike, but it is not comparable to the Varg. I made it through the whole ride...
