New UK owner road legal gen 2

[Aleksandar13]

Oh a track near Cambridge with an Enduro Loop.... Damn. Maybe I should have stayed with Arm and tried to get a transfer.

If you've been to the American cemetery close to Cambridge it's about 1/2 mile up the road... Very hidden on farm land and the owners are both enthusiastic about enduro and motocross and just building another one next to it. One of the owners has a stark as well. Had chargers there ready for people with electric bikes.
Really cool

Wow. I would have never known that. I worked for Arm from 2018-2022 and visited Cambridge many times. Love the town particularly when the company is putting me up. The UK and Europe in general has an awesome motorcycle culture --gotta love it having chargers is the bomb.

Jesus Christ its strong.. Picked it up at 11 and have had to have it sitting in the van all day while working.. That was painful... Just too it for a spin at 55hp and its still insane.. An absolute wheelie bike..

Sweet spot seems to be 35 to 45 hp depending on terrain. I've been in muddy stuff with 35 hp and it was great, 45hp seems to be to much for the UK conditions now, this might work in the dry

For people who are complaining about the lean angle on the stark, drilled a small hole for an m4 bolt and problem has been solved... Easy fix takes 10 min costs pennies.

Also fitted the acerbis Handguards . Love the looks

Adjusted my sag today and took her for a spin. Proudly sitting at 105mm but with a static of 30mm I think there is something that might need changing, will wait for the shop to reply to me. I'm after a revalve anyway... Love the bike when you are pushing and jumping but it feels a bit to harsh for slow technical stuff over rocky terrain.
Been practising to lift the front up with no clutch over small logs and it works a treat, 40hp mode is what I've been riding today. Really happy with the bike. The tyres are insanely good, pirelly scorpion for the win.

Can't wait for the end of the month, I will book an enduro day out close to Birmingham. Maybe I'll get the revalve done until then let's see.... I've

Just did this mod last night. Wow, that bracket is hard stuff to drill through. I tried tapping it with an M4 tap, but literally it was so hard that sparks shot out of the tap when trying to tap it. Must be a very hard stainless, like precipitation hardened stainless. So I went with a through hole and nut. Bike stands much better!

Agreed with this I didn't bother with tapping cause I felt the material was to hard. All we need now is someone to make a foot that's a bit larger, although I suspect a ktm one would work seems to look the same as a ktm leg.

I'll have a look a round.

Suspension revalve tomorrow, enduro setting and possible spring change... Spoke to a reputable shop in the UK and after discussing with the owner and suspension guru he said 15% softer is definitely required on the kayaba suspension. Also to put this into perspective 4% soft or hard is achieved from full hard to full soft on the bike so that says a lot... Can't wait to test this Saturday .
Once this has been sorted I need to find time to decide about the tubliss system or not...

 

[Aleksandar13]

Right gents, suspension has been revalved and the only word I can find it's that it is amazing.... The bike is plush rides so well and the new setting are great. I have all the setting written down on a paper but from what I've spoken with the shop they have left the front springs as they are and upgraded the rear to one higher than medium... Revalve has made a huge difference and the bike handles really well , doesn't feel harsh anymore, I find it easier to ride over tech stuff in tight sections and easier to wheelie over obstacles... I'm over the moon with it... Made a huge difference. 4x softer than before and high speed compression seems to be spot on... 110mm sag with my back pack and blader full but that feels so good.

That's really nice, I need some more details on the headlight please... I'm considering getting the stock unit back in place and either no headlight or with something similar to what you have... Looks ace.
I have friend who's thinking of registering one was it difficult?

I already have the loom and front and rear light see picture... I wanted to know because I would like to get that look of the stock varg back... Not urgent as I have other priorities but I love the look of the stock unit with round headlight . All I need is the same connection for the light and I'm golden.
Mine doesn't have indicators

I had some knocking around unlikely use them more like slide bobins i like it in red , i like the stock number card look and i allready need new plastics so why not .. so you have front tail and break or ?

 

[mrbullen]

God I wish I only had to wait until Thursday.. Well jealous..

I have seen a few reviews that claim absolutely max 50 minutes track time at 45HP ? Can that be true ?

The dealer I am in touch with says it will take them 30 days to get plates on it after purchase. So I will either have to admire it for a month in the garage or find a different dealer.. What was the dealer in Colchester called ?

What even are the rules in terms of finding places to ride except proper Mx tracks?

I spend an hour n a half enduro and im fkd . Usually got about 30/40% left and i run between 20 to 50 hp
