I tried to win practice! I was trying to go as fast as I could being the first one on the track, this was my 6th moto of the day, and I was pretty exhausted. I want to get out of the C class, so focusing on my technique and positioning was what I was working on today, to try to get faster and better.

Take 2....
Tailgate up not down
Tetris does wonders
Haha yes it does!
Keep the video so you can reference back to it if you need. People need to understand, that's awesome
Haha right, I don't know how I managed it
With the tailgate down😂
I know 🤦 dyslexic moment lol
Sounds like your dealer ship is stupid..... We have oure straks 2 years now and support from Stark and our dealer are super! We had problems with motors (2 time) batterys (4 total), vcu,, fan and docking station, even rear wheel We got everything under warranty and some we replaced by our selves and some by oure dealer Resa racing. Super service so far. Warranty stops after 2 years from purchase.
Stark support is awesome! The dealership was not so awesome lol hoping to not have any more issues!
No, your tailgate is up not down!
Got me 😂😂
Shitty to hear.. mines been going pretty good hope it all works out!
That's good I hope you don't have any issues with you!
Sounds like a terrible dealer…
Yeah they screwed me big time
My stark died after two rides and less than 10 hours. It won't even power on. I haven't even made a payment on it yet. man I love the bike but all these problems are starting to make me worried.
Yeah that sucks hopefully they can diagnose your issue fast. Luckily the bikes have a 2 year warranty, I'm hoping I don't have issues after this I've basically had everything replaced lol
2025 Crf450R !!! ❤️👍🏁
Not a bad idea 🤔
Those Yamahas look even better now
Hahaha for real!
Has the issue been resolved? And how has it been since?
It has! Take a look at my newest video to see how everything went down!
Sell me it
$10
I just need one so I can put my own hardware firmware on it I'll build my own battery if it's toast too
@@redwolfracing my 84v surron needs a big sister in the shed
@515klrkillahoobie6 that world be pretty sick!
Sounds like you had a dealership issue. It's why they're called stealerships. I needed a new powertrain & had it shipped to me. I do the work. I ain't letting no fool at a dealership touch my bike.
Yeah definitely dealership issue, at least I learned my lesson from this I'll be doing my own work from here on out, which I should have just done the first time.
@ right on. At least we get a 2 year warranty on the stark. If it was a ktm, you’d be shit out of luck.
@Marleysdad808 haha yeah exactly
Dealership kept the money from the sale and walked away from stark sales. Expecting the Stark Future team to eat it.
Yeah sounds about right unfortunately
took me 5 months to get my varg fixed at the dealership. they too have dropped all dealings with stark. this is in the front range of CO area. The other front range of CO dealer that supports stark has also dropped support. So it is not just your dealer. Others are doing the same thing. Something strange is going on with stark and dealers. beware.
Wow that's interesting, I'm wondering what the issue is, because the Stark support directly with me ahs been great. Not sure if I'm missing something between the dealership and Stark but they sent me all the emails and I didn't see any red flags
@@redwolfracing the owner of one dealer filled me on why they dropped support. I am not comfortable putting it online without additional evidence. I eventually got stark to send me emails to/from the dealer that was working on my bike to me, but this was after that dealer fired the service manager(due to many issues, not just mine) and I was quite fed up with the whole situation. I missed my whole summer of riding the varg, but did get a glorious 49.5 miles on the bike. haha. loved it. hoping to get a ride in tomorrow. I really really want stark to survive as a viable option.
@toddblachowiak sounds like we had a pretty similar situation, that's fine you don't have to post anything you dont want to! We dont need rumors or anything spread. But yeah I hope they survive!
Dealerships are soo annoying, shady, and lazy sometimes. Wouldn't have blamed you if you called them out by name. Refusing to do business with Stark in the future when the email from Stark CLEARLY stated that they would be reimbursed?! You had to wait weeks because the dealership employees don't know how to read an email?? Ridiculous. Stark could use a better diagnostic tool/system that's more accurate but to be fair their customer service is pretty solid. Really nice people from what I hear. Hope you make the best out of what's left of the beautiful fall season & enjoy your time riding!
Yeah the dealership sucked for sure, and I learned my lesson the hard way. Yeah the service with stark has been really great for me, so no complaints on their behalf. And thanks 🤙
Thank you for posting! Great report 💯
Thanks for watching!
Solid report. Did Stark have you return the original battery or did you get to keep it?
They gave me a shipping lable to return it, and I asked stark to have FedEx come get it, but I haven't heard anything yet 🤷 they randomly showed up at my house a few days after I got the new battery to pick up the old one, but at that point I didn't even have the return label
Under most brands warranties, the warranty period doesn't reset when you put in a new part. Two years is likely two years from initial activation.
Yeah I hear that, sometimes they warranty parts but I doubt it. Would be nice though!
Yeah you right, stark really should be make something to diagnose it better. I think it would be less expensive in the long run instead of rebuilding half the bike!
Absolutely!! They have to work on that, hopefully in the neer future they'll have a better system!
Sorry to hear your troubles with dealership. Sounds like Stark is doing their best to help.
Yeah, Stark seemed to be doing the best they could, the dealership didn't seem to really care as much as I wish they would
Same exact thing I’m dealing with. Except it’s been 3 days and nobody has even responded to my support requests. My battery smells like it’s melting inside and vents gas when unplugging the orange connector. Motor is almost locked up pushing forward. Moves much easier backwards.
Wow that dosent sounds good, hopefully the can send you a new battery soon. Mine ended up being the power train, waiting for the dealership to finish workin on it unfortunately they're taking forever with if
They are sending me a new powertrain. Still waiting to hear about the battery. 10 days to resound but second response was less than a day later.
@@Mxer125kx well at least your getting somewhere. Yeah the communication isn't the best, but they are in a different country
Fixed yet?
Not yet hoping next week I'll have it back. I have a video coming up talking about what happened
@@redwolfracing That’s so much downtime. Mine will arrive this week.
Yeah it's been broke for 2+ months now. Hopefully you wont any have issues!
Soooo what were the track changes? It looks the same as it's been all year.
There's a table after the step up, there are some bumps on the insides of turns, there's a kicker before the first set of rollers, kicker before the 2 tables in the back section..
At least Stark has warranties.
Thank God!
same thing happened with mine did yo fix the issue I took mine to a stark dealer
Nope! Mine has been at the dealership for 3 weeks now 😩
when you try to charge your bike would it turn yellow
Nope, it stayed red the entire time
Was that today ?
Yes!
I forgot
Sooo how does this bike work? Do they ever come out with new models? This was 2021 R&D and released 2023.... so new model in 2025? Or is it all software updates.... I'm more interested in this for trail riding in Utah. Nothing is worse than a Karen saying I'm on a Mtn bike trail only lol. Now I will be stealth and ride around the karen
So since it's brand new, I'm not sure if they will be comin gout with newer models yet, mayeb they'll do something along the lines of the surrons. So now you can buy the 60hp, and if you decided to upgrade to the 80hp it's just an update with the phone. Yeah it's a fairly quiet bike which is nice for those spots you dont want to be heard.
*clicks on video* *sees gauges in ears* Aight Imma head out
😂
Hey man love the channel! What cameras are you running right now?
Thanks!! I use a Gopro hero 10 with a chin mount (name of the company) and I use a Canon eos rp.
How do you think a Ron would do there
It's a good track, lot of fun, week days are a bit slower so I'd reccomend that.
Our bike is doing the exact same thing. Still waiting on VARG did you get it repaired yet? Did the new battery work?
So they originally had me replace the VCU and the power button and that wasn't the issue. Then I got a new battery and that wasn't the issue either, so I contacted stark again and they had me bring it into the dealership Friday
They haven’t called but it seems like they want to send us a new power train (motor)
I would contact them again if you haven't heard from them I na few days
Were they slow to get back to you? They replied yesterday morning and now haven’t heard from them since I sent them messages back.
@Joe-pk5jx yeah it was about 1-3 days
May I ask your height cause that is one of my concerns with this bike when I get to a complete stop or to even get on it to start riding. So just wondering how easy it is for you.
I'm about 5'7" I can't touch on any of my bikes so I'm used to it lol
@@redwolfracing Thanks for the info, just practice and get used to it.
@@negu-zy5ng yeah for sure, once you get going you'll be fine. As long as you don't have a Kickstart you'll be fine. That's a pain in the ass if you stall and your short lol
I use Champion base ball catcher leg guards - metal clip that holds straps easy on off with gloves - secure
That works!!
The only knee brace I think that actually is on paper beneficial is the asterisk with their tether system that connects the brace to the boot so that you can’t twist the foot in an opposite direction of the knee. I grew up wearing braces and just got another bike and went with the Slaycos so we will see how they work!
Oh that's an interesting system! And yeah I ordered them but they didn't fit my calfs 😕 heard good things though!!
Why the hell would a brace need to be connected to your boot ? If this was worth doing every brand would do it . If the brace is locked to your knee it doesn’t matter a shit if it’s attached to boot
@@Ozfreerider_adventures okay lol
You Cooked it.
Unfortunately yes 😂
just sell it . Your starting to sound like my missis.
Lol watch another video
@@redwolfracing true.
Weird there’s not one company that makes a simple electric dirt bike
Right, at least Stark give you the 2 year warranty, luckily I'm getting a new battery for it
Ship it to me. Ill fix it and give it a crazy paint job. Then get it shipped back and mention me in your reveal video
How is the varg? I saw vcu did not fix problem ? What are the next steps?
So the vcu was not the issue, they're sending me a battery to see if that's the issue. Should be here next week
If u don’t want it I will happily take it 🤣
I just want it to run 😩
@@redwolfracing real. My parents won’t let me get anything like this even though I’d be paying. It’s pretty annoying but oh well. I’ve seen a few vids of starks playing up. Idk what’s wrong tho.
@@mollaby1official_yt970 aww man, well it may be better to wait a few years anyway and let them fix all the "bugs".
@@redwolfracing true
That's a real bummer. The varg looks sick but all this new electric stuff makes me nervous.
I love the bike just sucks dealing with issues like this, it's been almost a month since I could last ride it
Did you build it or bought it pre-built ?@@redwolfracing
They wouldn't deliver it in a crate when I got it, the dealership built it
@@redwolfracing that's really a headache getting those issues when you thought getting it pre built from the dealership would have you In good hands.. I was thinking about getting into one just wanted to do my research before
@8visuals365 I don't think the dealership did me wrong, I think it's just the bike being so new that there's gonna be issues, we're the guinny pigs testing them out for the company lol
I have the same issue with my Stark. Mine wouldnt turn on at all, just get a solid red light when the power button is pressed and stays solid as long as I hold the button. Once I let go of the button the light immediately goes off. So the bike is in full shut off mode but won’t power on and it won’t start charging on 110 or 220. I contacted them and they did ship a battery right away, however, it took 6 weeks to get to me and I just got it two days ago. I swapped in the new battery and the bike did turned on. After about 1 minute the light flashed indicating it needed an update so I, regretfully, performed the update and the bike went through the normal update process and shut down. And now I’m back in the same situation as with the original battery where the bike won’t turn on, won’t charge, won’t connect to the phone. It’s just a brick taking up space in the garage. I’ve owned it for 4 months but it’s been dead for more than half of that time. I reached back to Stark but haven’t heard anything yet. 👎🏻
Wow! That's unbelievable, yeah they need to send me a new battery I'm sure, but that's odd that the update killed it again. Sorry to hear that, the bike is awesome... When it runs
Bummer dude. Hope they get you squared away soon.
Time for a return!
I haven't had any issues with mine. Nobody else I know is having any issues with this bike either.
I'm jealous! I rode it for 14 hrs then got this issue. And the cooling fan error came on too
I had the exact same issue as in the video after about 20 hours, got a new battery sent out and now im at 90 hours of riding no issues.
@@farbrornilsson9709 have you updated it since the new battery? They're sending me a new one finally
@@redwolfracing Awesome! Yes i currently run the latest update. I try to never miss an update anymore due to Stark couldn't properly diagnose the issue on my bike since it was outdated. Hopefully they send you a battery with bushings, i had to remove them from my old battery and transfer it to the new one. It wasn't that big of a hassle though.
@@farbrornilsson9709 okay thanks for the insight. Was it pretty simple to take the battery out and replace it?
What did you do that caused it? I’ve had 2 bikes for a year now and no issues at all
Absolutely nothing, went to ride it with a full charge, went 10 feet it popped up a code that said battery is criticality low, turned it back on rode another 10 feet, same thing, did it again for a third time but it wouldn't turn on at all, couldn't completely shut it down or restart it, wouldn't connect to the phone either
I just use the evs tp99 knee guards cause my knees will hurt from gripping the frame, i feel like braces would be uncomfortable, but im picky with stuff like that lol i end up not wearing my chest protector cause it feels weird haha
Haha yeah I hear that, braces ar pretty bulky and can be uncomfortable. I liek the knee pads, buts I'd love to wear the tp199's! Calfs/quads are too big lol
@@redwolfracingyeah they are only like $100 and I forget I’m even wearing them
I'm jealous! Lol
@@redwolfracing you must be have some ripped calf’s lol my brother is a big fella and the biggest size fit him
@@camdenbrickett2923 man well I did try them a while ago, I've lost some weight since, maybe I'll order a pair again and see
I only wear them to help squeeze the bike so my knees don’t get banged up gripping the bike. I lost one though so I’m trying to figure out what to get. I like those green ones you got but I also kinda wanna try the axel Hodges ones. Lav mic coming in clutch right?
Ahh, yeah everyone that wears the TP199 or the axel hodges ones, absolutely loves them, you could try them and if they don't fit return em! Yeah the Leatt ones are nice, I have had no complaints since I bought them. And I couldn't get it to work (or figure it out) so I got a rode one from best by
@@redwolfracing I had the tp199 but you’re right they run small. The only thing I don’t like about them is they are hot in the summer. I’m sure the axel ones are the same but we’ll see
@@brapperdan yeah I beleve it, the Leatt aren't too bad, but I sweat like crazy anyway
