I haven't graphed it, but it seems to have a pretty steep drop from, say, 80*F to 50*F. But the difference between 50*F to 30*F is less steep. The coldest I've ridden was 15*F and it was about the same range as 30ish*F. The battery chemistry matters a lot, so comparing it between different...

I had the same brief bug, but was able to verify that the bike wasn't actually charging at those numbers. I set it to 5KW but it was only consuming 2.3KW. I was pretty sure that was what I was going to find - the charger is only good to 3.3KW no matter what the phone says.

I'm sure there are some aftermarket options coming out - I haven't been looking. I already posted everything you need to know if you want to make your own lights in this thread. I personally decided to just go with a wireless helmet brake light when on the street - it is extremely bright and I...

Try rebooting the bike - I have ran into that problem a couple times. Sometimes the headlight won't work, sometimes the turn signals won't work. Just turning the bike off and back on usually fixes it, but twice I had to do a hard reset to get them to work again. The integrated brake light isn't...

Typically motorcycle forums are way over the top on maintenance, and I avoid those dumb arguments about how often to change engine oil or what have you. I really don't get brake fluid flushes though. It costs $5 and takes 10 minutes. What are we even talking about here?

Turns out, brake fluid absorbs water in the exact same way whether it is a bike or a car.

Can you let me know when you're in my area, so I can make sure I'm not on the same roads you are? I work on cars for a living, and I see your car almost every day. "Never had a problem", until the brakes suddenly fail. Because shocking news for those that don't know, if you don't do...

OK, update. My Stark phone was doing some weird stuff, which I thought was related to a crash I had where the phone was slightly bent in the process. I was assuming I was going to have to buy another phone. The battery was randomly discharging quickly. I would often put the phone on a wireless...

What do you mean? the dang thing locks every 10 seconds. There is probably a way to extend that, but in stock form, it is really annoying.

I have an AXP and like the added protection of the linkage and frame. But I also was worried about the lack of foam when installing it. I don't think I'm a super hard rider, so I decided it probably won't be a problem for me. I do run into downed trees on the trails now and then and have to bash...

Dot 4 if you're fancy. Once a year is a good rule. I personally do brake flushes, replace wheel bearings, check/lube swingarm/linkage bearings, etc.... once a year all at once as preventative maintenance. But if you like doing it more often, knock yourself out. I can't convince my car customers...

I went out and grabbed the Stark phone and was walking towards the house to get it out of bluetooth range, and just to make sure, I went to turn it off. But after unlocking the phone, now suddenly the bluetooth sensed the bike. No idea why NOW it decided to work. I've tried it over a dozen times...

My range is down to 35ish miles riding on the trails now. I assume it is the weather getting a bit colder is the cause of the lost range. A bit disappointing. I ride year round so I'll update it when it starts getting down to freezing temps. If it is like my other bikes, shouldn't get much below...

I tried rebooting the bike twice, just to make sure, but I still have no bluetooth connection with either phone. Any other suggestions?

I'll try rebooting the bike tonight. I hadn't tried that. It hasn't worked on either phone for the last three rides, but the stark app works fine, which seemed weird. It is kind of crazy how often something weird happens that requires rebooting the bike. My headlight and turn signals randomly...

I can't get the app to connect to the bike anymore. Anyone else have this problem? It no longer shows the bike in the pairing screen, in the app or in the Bluetooth settings. I have tried with both my Pixel9 and the stock phone. I'm starting to suspect Stark changed things to make it more...

I did a couple freeway rides the other day on street tires (stock gearing, 18" rear), as long as you keep it under 65mph it doesn't tend to go into limp mode. But I definitely noticed as the battery gets lower, it is more likely to engage limp mode and when it does, it tends to be more...

Of course, if you wanted to just add an estimator for total range, that would be great too! My Zero has a surprisingly accurate estimator for each ride, but I still double check it because sometimes it is a little too optimistic. It will add 4 miles to the realistic range until you start getting...

I found it and have been using it and appreciate it! If it isn't too much trouble, if you could add one decimal to the trip meter. You recently said the data is measured in meters, so I would assume that wouldn't be hard to apply. I like to use the trip meter to mentally calculate the...

I was out in the middle of no where, getting ready for a trail ride. I had forgot I had locked the bike with the phone the night previously, because I wanted to see if there was any difference with the updated app. It locked quickly and I was hopeful. But when I went to unlock it - same thing as...
