Stark Stark EX (almost) left me stranded - then died.

[Marshall G]

I was out riding some single track. Stopped for a break. Restart - red light was on, went to green, then green blinked off and went back to red. Played the 'press every button game' for a while and finally got it to respond. I thought it was OK and stopped again to talk to someone, then it was even harder to get going. Loaded up, went home. Removed the shroud/seat assembly, did the can/bus reset to no avail.
Couldn't get it to respond (if I could get the green light as soon as I hit the throttle, it would blink to red - no go). Also, check engine light is on. I took it to a local dealer who said they'd check it out and get with Stark and let me know. That was last week. No word yet.
I'll report back when I hear something. A friend of mine had a similar problem and took months to remedy. We just got into riding season! Hoping for a quick fix. Anyone have an issue like this? Thanks,
mg

With me it was something in the battery. Got replaced within a week.

Still dead, still in the shop. Two "link ups" with Stark so far - spread out over several weeks. No way to get ahold of anyone, just an email with a date for the link up diagnostic.
Heard from the dealer yesterday. Stark is analyzing the data but they "think" its going to need a drive train.
Dealer is trying, but here I wait...

Dealer? Which one?

Dealer? Which one?

I bought the bike online. I found out that AEO Powersports is a Stark dealer. I took it to their Mesa Arizona store. I just heard from them today that Stark analyzed the data and feels that the main wiring harness is faulty. They are sending out a new harness to be installed. So far AEO has done great trying to get a hold of Stark and keep me posted. But progress is slow. I'll chime back in after the harness is installed. Fingers crossed.
