    Stark Varg Sound Maker ?

    Most racing I ever did back in the 2T days, I never heard other bikes anyway.

    Broken down

    I had some basic tools. I ride alone most of the time and I am not on an MX track so I have to be prepared. Tools won't fix a bad switch though. And I am not splicing wires on my new bike unless there is no way out and I could do that with a pocket knife. Fortunately, I could push to a...

    Broken down

    Were there any weird behaviors? I did a firmware update recently and noticed that the control buttons were acting kind of weird and sticky and my bike would not really shutoff properly. Today out on the trails I got stranded with a solid yellow led. The bike almost behaved like it was doing a...

    Owner's Review Stark Varg vs Alta MXR

    I only test rode a friends Alta never owned. I do think the Varg is an iterative upgrade but I think the performance improvements with the Varg are pretty substantial. I own the 80HP Varg. For Gas bikes I own a KTM 300 tpi 2T and a Yamaha WR450 4T as well. And the Stark is better than both of...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Ya agreed. They do charge double for the synthetic like Lucas vs the non-synthetic regular brand which is also GL-5.

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    I have been using this: It meets or exceeds GL-5. Anyone use something else?

    Maine - Any roadblocks or smooth sailing?

    Interesting. Stark has been really good about parts and etc. for me at least. Did you compare the VIN to what they sent you in the email? My paperwork was off and the dealer and Stark corrected it immediately. Hope you get it by the weekend!!!:ricky:

    Anti-Theft?!

    That is why it is good to get in now before the restrictions and taxers further sink their teeth in. Many of the benies associated with adopting E are evaporating quickly. The ICE folks have spread FUD too and it is working on the folks unwilling to be early adopters. Plus, there have been...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Hi @Foss thanks for the great info on the alternative. Amazon ships it in a day here. If you don't mind me asking, why is your motor going back?

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    No. I used a clearly marked T30 both snap-on and craftsman. My guess is it was way over torqued at the factory and that is why so many folks are stripping them. It is cheap shit and if it wasn't over torqued it was poorly spec'd.

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Seems like you would really have to work to get a pressure washer to get water into that little hose even if you tried.:muutt: My bike has gone pretty deep into streams and puddles with rainy spring season. My oil was slightly milky not like some of the vids I have seen. Thanks for pinging them.

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    The bolt is complete shit. I thought it was the freebie toolset at first but I used snap-ons and craftsman high quality torx with good tools and it still stripped. The torque spec is likely wrong or the heat/cool impact wasn't well accounted for. My bike has about 5 hours on it. You can chisel...

    Maine - Any roadblocks or smooth sailing?

    Awesome!! Mine came faster than expected too. Make sure you check your certificate a few bikes shipped to East Coast dealers had wrong facts on the certs. The shop tested and made sure it was all correct and also followed up to make sure I got the correct cert. No real issue but for resale you...

    Stark Varg - Owners Manual

    Agreed. My quibble was the FAQ saying one thing and the manual saying something else. Also I was guessing that the Stark would be highly sealed given that generally E and water don't play well together. But I will take care not blast the mud off of it. I ride mostly tough trails, enduro, and...

    Stark Varg - Owners Manual

    Agreed pressure and submersion aren't the same and the sealing is not subject the same contact area nor conversely the potential duration of exposure (say duration leading to seepage in the case of submersion). But I really think it is more about assertions in the documentation and the...
