I rent heated storage at a place near me. It wasn’t really much more expensive than non-heated. I charged my battery to about 40%. Did a full shut down (not stand by) and then disconnected the power switch (connector behind the number plate). My concern is someone might accidentally hit the...

I was thinking about getting the Brembo setup, but I had the fluid flushed as part of yearly maintenance. It’s made a world of difference. So much so that I’m not going to bother with the Brembo setup.

This is a brilliant idea!

Yeah, one nice thing about going to a track is you just go around in circles. You're never too far from your car/truck/trailer and a top up. I don't ride trails, so I cannot speak to it personally, but I'm told that the battery usage is drastically less riding trails vs MX track, since you're...

So I can't speak to trail/enduro riding, but at an MX track, I have a setup detailed here that works quite well. It does not have the ability to fill back up on-site via solar. It's just an extra "gas can" that I refill once I get back home. I've got ~85 hours on the bike now. Here's what I...

One lovely feature of the new Varg App: We can set a max battery charge percentage and the bike will stop charging when it hits this. I just watched, and it slowly curtailed the charging speed one it hit my limit, probably to accommodate the voltage sag that happens after you stop charging...

I looked into it, but they looked pretty expensive for what you get. It also wasn't clear if they'd support the 3500 Watts continuous that the Stark charger will use. While my system lacks a certain polish that Anker, et. al. have, I think this worked out a little better in terms of total KWh...

I'm pretty much always talking about the external battery I purchased from AliExpress. Being LiFePo4, they'll stand up to a lot of punishment. And frankly, if they die I don't care nearly as much. The Varg is definitely not a LiFePo4 battery. They use NMC chemistry cells. Specifically, it's...

For anyone that’s interested, here’s my setup for topping up my Varg at the track. I didn’t really want to deal with the maintenance and fuel on a gas generator. I got the Varg because I was sick of changing oil and cleaning air filters. :) So I went for an external battery instead. I had...

This is going to be a bigger question for me in a few months. I put my bike away in heated storage for the winter, (Nov - April usually) but I don't have access to it during that time. I know that leaving it in stand-by uses about 1-2% of battery per day. When I've done a hard shut down, I...
