New Stark EX Enduro announced, List of issues/unkept promises with current/original Stark Varg

[mike61]

The waterpump he bought - 50€.

The Fork clamp worked but he didn't like the noise.

He has some vids about his Surron Ultra bee. He is really experienced about it.

I've watched the video using the automatically translated subtitles of YouTube and I'd like to add some detalis; @mike61 if there are any translation mistakes, please correct me.

Okay, some translations!

He already changed:
- battery
- rear frame
- footpegs
- plastics
- seat
- drivetrain
in warraty as he said

for his own

- water pump (air inside)

He bought the conversion kit SMX1-CL-G2-KT, which is more like an upgrade to bleed the system faster and neater.

- fork clamp (clicking noise)

I think he had this problem [edit: corrected the link], that surely doesn't justify a triple clamp replacement; I've solved it by switching the positions of the brake lines: the rear brake line is now the closest to the number plate and the front one is between the rear one and the phone cradle.

- rear shock (better, softer)
- chain (too short)

He said that on Starks the rear tyre sometimes rubs against the mud flap, generating some wear in it; I don't understand whether it happened to him or if it was an issue he's heard of.

- rear wheel spacers (compressing)

More specifically, he said that if you don't apply the 80 Nm required, they bend and somehow clamp the rear wheel axle making it harder to uninstall it, while with KTM ones this doesn't happen.

- tubes (!!)
- handlebar (his attitude)
- hand protectors and levers (!!)

I talked about how difficult it was to loose the alloi side frames.
Sticking corroded in the steel frame.

He suggests to rotate them to unlock them.

And how tricky it was to insert the new motor

 

[mike61]

Yes you are right he bought the waterpump upgrade.

He didn't explain the clamp problem more precise.

He heard about the cover problem.
The 116 chain was too long. Not enough tension. Changed back to the 114.
Another sprocket on the new motor.

The tensioner was corroded inside.

The translation about the spacers was exactly what he said.

Yes he rotated it a bit by hammer;-)
