    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding - Edit: Solved

    Yes, to be able to remove the phone entirely to keep it out of harms way when riding hard enduro or in your case run a dedicated mapping app. Even if a loose indication of SOC that's all I would need to not get stuck in the middle of nowhere due to running out of battery. You're right though...

    In short do you feel that their graph is accurate?

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding - Edit: Solved

    There's got to be a "safe" way to tap into the battery voltage somewhere and run a small display. That's really all we need.

    Stark Varg power usage chart question

    I run my varg around 45-48Hp 95% of the time. I noticed on the stats tab if you scroll down it shows your actual power usage chart. On my chart I don't see any point of the ride where I used over 25Hp. The main thing I am curious to know is if I am saving any battery by running at a lower Hp...

    Varg comfort seat options for trail riding

    Save your money getting two seats. The stock foam is way too stiff. I have the seat concepts soft/comfort seat on my XCW and it's top notch. But I have to say I am very pleased with the Guts foam and cover. Given how hard the suspension is we need everything we can get to soften the ride...

    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    Re stacker is good to get a ballpark of what's going to do what. Nothing will really determine the way it feels like just going at it and trying. The other thing is I was not prepared with a surplus of shims to adjust as needed. Initially I was only planning to remove 50% of the face shims...

    Roll your handlebars forward!

    I totally agree and have rotated the throttle forward to make the wire below the line of the bark busters. I also did trim a tiny amount off the tube end, mainly so there was no risk of interference with the bark busters where it goes inside the bar ends. I am 6'3" and am used to riding with...

    Roll your handlebars forward!

    A quick note that I just purchased some Protaper Windham bars since the docking station cord has no slack to add risers. The bars are perfect except for one flaw. They dont F-ing work! The Stark specs on the control distance says they are 150mm and that is very wrong. They are more like...

    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    I have a few friends that are self-proclaimed KYB gurus and I took a leap of faith having their expertise at my disposal. I figured if I couldn't get the base valve back in I could always take it all apart and do things the "correct" way. The base valve core unscrews easily with the top triple...

    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    I went at it last night. I was able to remove the base valves relatively easily while in the bike. I had to take off the bars though. I wouldn't recommend doing this if you're not a patient, mechanically skilled and methodical person. There are a lot of areas to mess things up at. I...

    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    You are definitely under sprung. You need to get that right first. They should have told you to get the heavy springs. That's just my understanding from talking to a few people. I'm 200 with my gear and the best I could do was 38/104. So I can report back that taking fork oil out doesn't...

    DIY maintenance and safety for EVs

    When stark sends you something like a replacement battery, motor etc and you install it yourself, is this voiding the warranty? Seems I'm seeing more and more dealers not even wanting to deal with issues on this bike. It has me a little concerned. Generally a warrantied item will only keep...

    Enduro Mods

    No. It's easy as can be. Just made two holes behind the cross member. I then melted away the foam so I could get a socket around the nut. If you take the skid plate off it should be pretty clear how to do this. You could even put another bolt up in front of the cross member. But 2 is...

    Stark actually profitable... kinda

    My personal opinion is that they should leave out the fancy toolkit and eliminate the phone for a fixed data screen. That would up the profit margin right there. Most people have torque wrenches or can go buy them separately. I don't know what their actual cost is on these two items but just...

    Stock varg suspension revalve?! Enduro & Trail riding

    I'm exhausted researching this myself as well. What I gather after searching the internet, looking through the racetech bible, talking to a few friends who know KYB sss very well and a few suspension shops is that everyone has a separate answer. But this is my approach as I am in the same...

    Torque specs

    Isn't the measurement supposed to be right at the end of the plastic chain guide? I know they have the sprocket a lot closer to the swingarm pivot but that 32mm makes me super nervous. I guess from always adjusting to KTM's specs. It is also weird the Stark manual says to use the 3 finger...

    Enduro Mods

    Here's the latest to my Varg mods. I will certainly have a few iterations to get it perfect. And by then I'm sure one of the big companies will have something available. I feel much better dropping my bike on the hills and watching it slide around. I added 1/4" felt to the inside of the...

    Yeah I had to use my impact gun and hold the brake. Was on tight for sure!

    Torque specs

    I'm glad you pointed this out. I actually could not find that spec anywhere and resorted to my Ktm 300 spec just to give myself a ballpark figure. Thanks for catching this and correcting it. There are also some contradictory specs like on the chain tension. It says to use the 3 finger rule...

    Torque specs

    I made this PDF to have all the typically needed specs in one place. The manual is not very good at listing them all in one place so here it is. Just print in landscape and trim to around 6" height and it will glue right inside the lid of the included toolbox.
