    the fork has snap rings which apparently mate to the fork guards

    Some time ago I noticed that the outer tubes of the fork had snap rings which, I supposed, held something and I didn't investigate futher. This evening I noticed that the right one is worn in a spot in which it seems like it may rub against the fork guard, which is pretty close to it, and that...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    If the breather hose is the one highlighted in green in the attached picture of my bike, then apparently mine is routed in the same way.

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Hey rayivers, I see in your signature that you own an Alta: does it have any problems with moisture in the gearbox? Does it have a breather hose? I'd like to know the answers for the same questions from someone who owns an E-XC Freeride or any other electric motorcycle with an oil lubricated...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Like many if you I guess, I'm not sure what to think; my YZ250 has similar hoses for the gearbox, the carbuator and the powervalve that as far as I know are not regulated via any kind of one way valve and yet it doesn't seem to me that there are problems with signficant amounts of water entering...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Thanks for the accurate clarification about that initialism. :) Now that I think about it, if it was indeed a thermal protection, or anyways some sudden power cut, I guess that maybe, when the motor stopped delivering power, the regen braking was activated, giving a feeling of locked wheel. So...

    Where Can Your Race On Your Stark

    Not that I have the skills nor the racing licence to compete, but in Italy they will test some competition between the Varg and gas bikes in the Ama Expert-Rider Championship, where Ama stands for amatoriale, i. e. amateur, using the Racing Mode: link to the Italian Motorcycling Federation site...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    That actually sounds pretty dangerous! If I am flat out, I could be standing in the attack position with my weight forward and if it locks in that moment my body could end up in front of the handlebar, maybe in front of the front wheel. Or if it happens while airborne the bike will probably...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Sorry to hear that. Is it locked because of a mechanical problem like seized bearings or electric like the motor stuck in one position? Did it lock while in motion or you turned it on and it was locked??

    Varg Red Tube

    So have you been able to remove the core of the valve stem to pour the sealant? On my front tube the core just spun with the valve inside the red stem. I have to say that the red tube has an advantage: it's easier to install. When I removed it I didn't have a replacement tube available yet and...

    Anti-Theft?!

    I think that disassembling that stuff can create a problem: moist air can enter those components and then, when the temperature will go below the dew point, there will be condensation. I have wondered how to prevent condensation in the battery etc. and I have come to the conclusion that they...

    SM conversion for the Kart track....

    I don't miss shifting gears in motocross because I prefer using my forefeet to support my body, but I think that in supermoto I'd prefer shifting: do you agree? Do you think that overall the SM Varg gives you more fun than a gas bike? Have you tried backing it in? To me it feels like the regen...

    Drivetrain getting louder

    This issue is quite serious especially because just on this forum there is more than a person having reported a weird sound and two people will have to change the power unit: apparently the probability to have it is significant. On the other hand: - in the first two years the replacement is...

    Varg Red Tube

    Yesterday, when I was unloading the bike from the trailer after a trackday, I noticed that the valve stem of the front tyre was very crooked, like 45° from the radial direction that it is supposed to be pointing at, and that the tyre had very little pressure. I was able to inflate it and it held...

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

    I've had a trackday yesterday and I can confirm that it worked properly. When I turn it on I usually see a yellow or sometimes magenta light for maybe a second or two, but then the flashing green light appears. This happened before the update, too, if I recall properly..

    Varg suspension

    Would you say that the bearings were well lubed originally?

    Drivetrain getting louder

    How many hours does your bike have? Have you noticed any other problems like play in the countershaft or debris in the old oil when changing it? Have you removed the oil filler cap and inspected the gears with a flashlight? Sorry for the many questions but such a problem is serious.

    Stark Electric Bikes needed for 'Arctic Sea Ice Monitoring Terminal Deployment' programme.

    Hello and welcome. If I have understood correctly, what you have in mind is to find a company which has experience in that kind of expeditions and which can provide you with suitable electric bikes, chargers and whatever you may need to run them on rental; is this correct? Unfortunately I know...

    I don’t know for sure since I haven’t counted how many clicks I was out, but the default sttings should be the ones that you can find in this thread.

    Varg suspension

    Here is my situation: • rider's weight in underwear: 74 kg/163 lbs • suspensions setup: 75/80 kg • use: motocross only At the beginning, the suspensions felt stiff to me in every track. Saturday at the track, at 8 hours circa it seemed to me that maybe they had softened a little bit but still...
