    [UPDATE] Firmware v1.0.76 & App v1.0.108

    Yes I received the Stark Email Saturday. Stark is replacing the battery but they don't specifically say what is wrong. It could be a bad cell or a component other than a cell inside the cases causing the issue. There is no advertised method for checking for fault codes at the user level at...

    [UPDATE] Firmware v1.0.76 & App v1.0.108

    Stark emailed me today and said it's the battery. Sending me a new one. I don't know if the update had anything to do with it but it sure was coincidental.

    Front tire choices

    I ride gnarly Arkansas s/t with rocks and roots everywhere. With the stock suspension everything sucked. Did a re-valve and put in .44 springs was much-o better. Also pulled the tubes and installed UHD tubes. Running 12 psi and the stock front is working well although at 15 hours it's...

    [UPDATE] Firmware v1.0.76 & App v1.0.108

    My Varg is dead after the update I did Tuesday. After I made the update just for kicks put in a race mode to see what the process was like. Then I turned the phone off because I was getting ready to wash the bike. Now all I get is a red light that goes off when I release the power button...

    Maximum Scramble Range

    Yeah that's Shane. We parked next to each other at the enduro. We both had the same charging issue; that being the while on the charger the reout would show one percentage of battery left but when you disconnect the charger the % would drop. In my case it went from 40% to 27% within a mile.

    Maximum Scramble Range

    I rode the White Rock Enduro (Arkansas). For those unfamiliar with the WRE it is comprised of tight woods, rocks, hills, rocks, tight woods, hills, rocks, creeks and on and on. It was the usual beat up crappy rocky 8 mile transfer to the first test. The first test was hilly & had a lot of...

    Maximum Scramble Range

    I'm riding my Varg in an enduro tomorrow. Tight woods so slower speeds. Probably run 30 HP and zero re-gen. Short Couse is around 55 miles. Do I expect to finish? No. I figure I'll need to bail around the half way point but maybe not.

    how to put the bike on a stand without help from others

    I'm 66yo and yes the Varg is a bit of a hefty girl but I've been lifting my XR250 onto stands for years (weighs about the same) so I was used to it. I also thing the Varg stand is a bit taller so that may be part of it. I think using the rear fender and not the grab handles helps too.

    Owner's Review I Finally got my Stark…Pros and Cons

    Here is a close up picture of the SAG measurement point on the rear fender. Setting the "Sag" is part of getting the suspension correct for your weight and involves adjusting the preload on your shock.

    Owner's Review I Finally got my Stark…Pros and Cons

    On another note; Stark parts prices are pretty good. Complete factory plastic for around $150, nice aluminum rear sprocket $35 and a complete LHRB (including, caliper, pads, hoses and master cylinder) ready to bolt on for $350. When I installed mine it was shipped full of fluid. I had to...

    Owner's Review I Finally got my Stark…Pros and Cons

    My tubes are still going strong after 3 hours of rocky Arkansas s//t. I'm running 12 psi to help them out. Ride #2 but first some Varg bitchin': I put on new plastic. Everything is modular & the panels to clip together then get attached to the seat with six screws. Not hard but not EZ, a bit...

    Owner's Review I Finally got my Stark…Pros and Cons

    Agreed! I ordered mine with spring rates for a 40 pound lighter rider knowing they would be closer to the off roading I do. The spring rates are close to ideal. Took mine out with the settings off the showroom on some rocky s/t. I felt it and the seat didn't help! Comp/Reb damping was in the...

    KTM Wheel setup question

    FWIW; I asked Stark Support who makes their wheels/hubs. They said rims and hubs are made in house. I'll have to take a closer look at mine before I buy in on that.

    KTM Wheel setup question

    So if you used the Varg spacers in the Husky wheels would there be a issue or would you need Varg seals too?

    KTM Wheel setup question

    I would think anything from OEM specs would compromise the fork tube alignment and lead to some degree of drag or binding of the fork action.

    Ultimate MX Hauler / MotoJackrack - Switch Hauler

    I bought a Switch Hauler for my Transit Van a few years ago and waited about 2 months to get it. Solid unit but pricey. 2 months goes by quick; I would order and borrow your buddy's trailer/truck in the meantime.

    Stark Varg - Owners Manual

    In reviewing the Owners Manual I did not see a reference to a recommended Sag settings/adjustment with or without rider weight. What does Stark recommend for these Sag settings?

    Stark 'demo'

    Ok my 2 cents. I pre ordered but from what I am hearing Stark ran into legal problems selling direct once they establish a dealer network. My order delivery date is the fall of 2023 and I got in early. Many states have laws against this direct selling and by passing dealers. I was told by a...
