Sprocket Selection - Ludicrous? Maybe, but it's working for me. Custom foot pegs. Still want a clutch.

Plus, the added safety of a clutch is that if you whiskey it, you at least have a panicked chance at killing the bike (since in Stark's infinite wisdom, they didn't include a kill switch like on the Alta).
On the Stark, I remember having pressed the power button while applying throttle to see what happened and the result was the bike going into neutral.

Yes, but you have to be able to get to it and hold it. On the Alta, you just whack the kill switch and you're safe. The Stark had looped out on me several times. It's pretty dangerous, in my opinion.

It must be doable to add a killswitch on the MX but I get your point that it should come standard.
FYI here's a kill switch on the EX for the US market (I guess it must be a requirement for road homologation).

Yes I just saw the kill switch on an EX on Youtube and found it on the Stark spare parts store.

FYI, I have an EX in France and we don't get this kill switch in EU from what I've seen.

I received mine 1 month ago and I love this bike more and more the more I ride it.
Today was my first enduro ride and I loved it, it makes my life so much easier as I have a small paralysis on my left foot due to a very bad spinal injury in MX 2 years ago.
I don't want to be rude but I think you're too old school if you're still after a clutch :)
Personally I don't want it and I love the rear hand brake so much but again it helps a lot as I lost a bit of sensitivity in both my legs and gain neuropathic pains...

But I understand that it could be quite dangerous/harmful to loop the bike by accident, I almost did it once by pushing the bike on the side and thinking it was on neutral.
Now it's the first thing I check before I get off.

I would be very curious to try your footpegs and see how it change the balance of the bike.
