I am still wearing out the stock tires. But on my other bikes (KTM 300 2T and Yam WR450) I use IRC JX8s and ix09s which I also plan to use on my MX. The ix09s are a more of pure gummy, the JX8 are kind of a hybrid. Almost all of my riding is semi HE or single in northeast US which means mud...

Rules clearly don't matter one way or the other when it comes to delicious high quality food that is generally healthy. Lots of countries could learn from Italy on that. Look at the Brits they had to import Indians, Pakistanis, and folks from the West Indies to fix it... :ricky:

I am not sure. Maybe that depends on where you live. Here in the States at least, the first place that costs are cut and margins increased by brands on imported goods is by reducing quality control. And more, the weekend warrior who cracks his skull crashing into a tree with his ATV and...

Helmets can be a dicey experience and it is probably the most important gear choice a rider will make. Most of the major name helmets are made in one or two Chinese factories. They mostly differ in fit and finish and the up-to-date models typically meet the most rigorous specs. Like you, I have...

Your riding is great and the countryside is beautiful.

I also ride MTB enduro and moto trails/HE and agree no question it helps. From strength, balance, depth perception, and control on top the aerobic training --MTB helps in numerous ways and that is why many pro MXers mountain bike and bicycle in general. If you can MTB on similar terrain to...

Not sure if anyone has really determined the root cause. I have been using Lucas synthetic gear oil the additives may look a little milky. I regularly flush out the cavity with fresh oil before change and change it often. I doubt whether the water blast is the cause. Maybe add new oil and try it...

Besides the racing, those guys are awesome. Roczen is the best, I loved that TrollTrain video with AMart, Filthy Phil, and Ken. Hilarious. AMart: Phil ate shit. Phil: You waxed us. Ken: I didn't wax you I was only a few seconds ahead before you crashed... :ricky:

It would be nice if there were a way to break this kind of bureaucratic stranglehold --kind of like how free software loosened things in computing. Many of the burdens of the logistics seems like unnecessary protectionism. Opportunities like the Varg where there are lots of ways to for local...

Has your part been approved by Stark? I recently had to return the excellent AXP skid plate due to potential of compromising the warranty.

Something doesn't sound right you should contact Stark ASAP. Your bike is under warranty and they are chewing up your warranty period for no apparent reason --ordering the parts should not be that difficult to "fit in". You should try to re-arrange the warranty with Stark BTW. TBH on a slightly...

Just a follow up here. Following the warranty concerns, Slavens sent out a notice and asked me to return the plate for a full refund which I did. I used the AXP successfully on both my Vargs but I was unwilling to take a chance with the warranty.

Even with proper tolerances the buttons are very susceptible to dirt intrusion and sticking. They should come with a proper fitting rubber boot (as noted above). Drop your Varg in mud and sink the buttons and there is a good chance the buttons will stick. This can render things inoperable too...

Ya I used to have a nice garden hose setup it had hot water too for those cold days when the mud actually freezes --that is nasty. My old setup was made for dirtbike living. But alas things change.

I do about the same, though I don't normally remove the plastics every time. And when I do remove the plastic I don't typically run water there a damp rag is usually enough. The only things I use differently is I use Simple Green for cleaner and motorex for my chain lube which is leftover from...

Awesome. So happy for you!! I am traveling and usually don't log on. But a new bike is what I am glad to hear.

Sweet!!

On top of that Stark bikes have a warranty. Most brands of ICE dirtbikes have almost no warranty. Stark would be obligated to fix this even if it was like this 1 year after you got it. They have not been able to troubleshoot or fix it properly nor has their authorized dealer. That is a lot to...

Oh god man I am sorry to hear that. That shady dealer is useless, it is not your problem if that jackass is losing money he had no problem selling you the bike in the first place. You got a lemon and the bike has not been right from the start. Stark should take back the bike and replace it with...

Would a little oil or grease have helped?
