    Stark's/ Adult electric bikes banned from UK enduro events

    Well we have had a surron lb for about 6 years, I have refused to buy ktm's for over 10 years but during covid all I could get was a freeride electric and had that for over 4 years then had the stark for 19 months but it has been out of action for about half that because of problems with it. Not...

    Stark's/ Adult electric bikes banned from UK enduro events

    Every chance you are correct we can all see what kind of business ktm are, could also be who ever makes the rules said they want to see a certain safety specification (no doubt there are many) that ktm did and stark did not do. One thing I do know it the best was to piss health and safety off...

    Stark's/ Adult electric bikes banned from UK enduro events

    Well I would think it is 95% starks not much else out there yet. When our bikes were designed and built as I understand it stark had very little/no communication with the FIM ACU AMA etc in fact there was a post on here that one of the top bods at the AMA said stark had had very little or no...

    Stark's/ Adult electric bikes banned from UK enduro events

    We took the stark and some ICE bikes to an enduro practice day yesterday which was actully an IOPD event not ACU but the organiser was telling me the ACU has relesed a document I assume this is it. Auto Cycle Union Ltd He said we could use the stark but not charge it and that was only because...

    Charging rate 2.7 or 3.3 ?

    We need the maximum charging rate possible at home or with generators at the track. We have a small track in the field behind the house which is the main reason we have electric off road bikes we want to be riding not waiting around for it to charge but not at the risk of burning the...

    Spinning threaded insert in sub frame

    Another problem, In the sub frame one of the threaded inserts/ riv nut/bollof/ nutsert kind of thing is spinning with a bolt stuck in it. No surprise as it is a round one, most gave up on these 20 years ago and used hexagon ones instead to stop them spinning especially as it is in soft aluminum...

    Charging rate 2.7 or 3.3 ?

    I am in the UK we have 220/240 volts 13 amp. You see my thread about the melted plug! that happened with the bike at 6% I fully charged it full speed 3.3kw so lesson learned if it is lower than about 40% I cut the power back to around 3.0 kw. I had a Ring Main put in the garage to help and only...

    Rear suspension play

    It is a build up of 5 pivot points in the shock mounts and rising rate linkages, a tiny bit in each, Much the same set up as most MX/Enduro bikes with the exception of ktm pds. I noticed some play in mine at relatively low hours compared to what I would expect on our Yamaha's. Maybe the bearing...

    Form Stark Varg Unsatisfied Customer group/Legal advice

    People go on about this 2 year warranty well the fact is you need it in a big way, I have had plenty of new ICE bikes that even if they did have a 2 year warranty there would have never been a valid claim. Believe me I have "trashed the brand and the customer service" because that is what they...

    Form Stark Varg Unsatisfied Customer group/Legal advice

    So I think the time has come to form a Stark varg Unsatisfied Customer group to get together discuss issues come up with a list then share the cost to get legal advice. Present that to Stark and go from there. Before people start saying Stark are a new company give them chance it is 3 1/2 years...

    AMA and Electric Motorcycles in AMA races

    If they want to attract more sales they should start by honoring the warranty and giving us what we were promised, people ask me what the stark is like I tell them, not practical, no range, very unreliable, Much better off with a decent ICE bike. I currently have a list of issues stark keep on...

    Battery top front mount bolts

    On closer inspection I see that the bolt might well not be bottoming out, there is a short shank on the bolt and the top picture shows the bolt screwed all the way in. The gap is more than the thickness of the frame bracket, the bottom picture shows the bolt screwed all the way in with a washer...

    Battery top front mount bolts

    There are 2 bolts that screw in to the top front battery shaft that is rubber mounted in to the battery case, I needed to remove the battery one of them came out no problem but the other was very tight, it even broke the end off the torque bit. Tried again with new bit and bigger ratchet and...

    starks 6hr range may be possible

    "I am more hoping I can trade it in on the new model with a swappable battery" What new model with swappable battery? The EX has the same set up as the MX. Others from your part of the world say there are classes they can use them in. I tend to agree with some of what you say but making it...

    Might want to check your CAN bus connection

    The outer "nut" on the center picture is I think supposed to click (over center kind of thing) when it is tight enough, I just checked mine but putting it back on can not get the click, not made easy with the frame brace in the way, needs a bit more force I think. Makes me wonder if this one...

    Might want to check your CAN bus connection

    I used some of that on the kids mopeds over winter on the salted roads, still had plenty of corrosion. Maybe would have been much worse without it?

    Here is my major rub with Stark.

    Seems more parts available on this site here in the UK than on the stark site STARK VARG PARTS Sure in the past I have seen a vcu on there but can not see one now, you can get an inverter though.

    Here is my major rub with Stark.

    I have said this many times and with good reason, I have seen many parts fail on my stark but what also concerns me is most of the replaced parts are no better that the one that failed. The gen 2 powertrain seems to have plenty of issues so not a big improvement on the gen 1. "The bike...

    "Action Needed: Secure Your VARG EX Delivery Date"

    Stark are Even giving them away no doubt on the understanding they say good things about it and keep problems quiet. Stinks people paid in full last year and this is going on, Stark are just not trustworthy in so many ways...
