Send your stock stuffto Enzo to have them give it the full treatment, you’ll have a better performing package. Throwing suspension on from another bike, especially over size stuff, may make the bike way worse. 

Enzo has been testing with all the top dudes for a couple years on the Stark, they are going to be able to make the bike the best. They can add Kashima and DLC coatings to make it look just as trick, but actually work correctly. 

Make sure it’s the Enzo California location, they use different settings than Enzo in Texas.

Ummmm ok.

Look, I'm sorry if you're still butthurt that a few folks picked on you when you went off the rails about polishing cases, but that's your own fault.  

It's not mine or anyone elses fault, it's yours.  

Maybe just man up and move on from that?

Listen bro, I never fucking attacked you in that thread so man the fuck up and quit following me around like a butt hurt little bitch.

99% of the people here think you looked like a complete dumb fuck so maybe look in the mirror and do a little self reflection rather than blaming others.

Or don't, I don't really give a fuck what you do.

Mark knows his stuff and if he says the A-kit stuff will work well, I guess give it a go. But if you’re trying to force this Showa stuff on your Stark because you spent $12,000 and it has turquoise tubes, you’re going in the wrong direction. 

You could sell your A-kit, send your stuff to Enzo and get the full treatment for a fraction of that $12,000. Enzo are the KYB gurus in general, they worked with Josh Hill on the Alta so they have previous experience with how the chassis is on Electric bikes, and they have been testing on the Stark since it was brought to market. If you look at the Stark’s in AX, pretty sure almost every one of them is done by Enzo. If you look at the Euro SX’s they’re riding Starks, almost all Enzo.

Again, Mark knows his shit so if he’s saying run the A-kit, give it a go.

Anger issues? It shows up in most of your comments.

It’s really weird how personal people take it, and how much effort some put into jumping at any opportunity to make a negative comment. 

Want the realest, rawest, nostalgia filled experience? Ride a 2 stroke. 

Want to be able to ride long periods on a bike with more traction and torque? Ride a 4 stroke. 

Want to ride a bike with lightning-fast acceleration that feels extremely planted in corners, but limited by range and lacks the raw motorcycle experience? Ride an electric. 

Pick one, two or all three. Options are good.

With any bike, setting up the A kit stuff matters more than the stock stuff.  If You have a guy that will work with you to figure out the best settings ,than You should be able to make them work amazing.

 

 I had a customer that was  a local Pro rider that was always trying to get his hands on some A kit stuff. He finally got some. But bought it online and did not have anybody to help him set it up for the New England tracks and he ended up taking it off and running his revalved stock stuff until he could get somebody to help him tune it. This was about 3 or 4 years ago now. 

 

  It sounds like You have the right person to help you get them on the bike and get them setup. You should post some photos so we can all see those sexy turquoise tubes on a Varg.

I have done similar. Revalved stuff that's set up for you and your tracks is better than A kit that doesn't have any good settings on it.

The stark varg gen 3 coming soon is going to use 3d printed frame with generative ai design and a 100hp motor with longer batter life this seems to be fallen angel alien demon technology now as this is what is behind chat gpt magic

They are going in the opposite direction from KTM, introducing new models, hiring new employees, 25 times less debt.

Curious, IMO, How many bong hits tonight LB are you into the evening? How many hits to get you rev'd up to be a key board warrior? 

What do you actually do for a living? Can't wait to hear this reply (or not). You attack lots of people here. Do tell what high level position you hold that puts you in the kings chair? The above all knowing position? 

Keep it simple.... what is it you do every day and are an "expert" at?

Oh wow, thanks for asking.... It's a complicated answer boss.  I've never been real good at showing up to be someones slave from 9 to 5, some of us just aren't cut out for that.

Currently, I own a trailer park and a storage unit complex.  I'm also partner in a few duplexes and one apartment complex.  Prior to that, I was part owner of 5 restaurants that were sold for a nice chunk of change before the pandemic hit.

Day to day I do a little of this and a little of that.....trailer parks take some maintenance unfortunately so I get to play handyman.  I also do a little marketing/sales consulting here and there and even do some physical labor once in awhile if a buddy needs some extra help on a logging job or maybe an excavation job.

So yeah, it kinda changes all the time but it's working so far, let's me spend a shit load of time with my kids and still make enough $$ to have some fun.

What do you do?  Polish cases for people and tell them how much it'll help the performance without having any actual data to prove it?  

 

P.S.  You must not understand how weed works, nobody really gets "rev'd up" from it, but thanks for putting your ignorance on display in your effort to insult me.

P.P.S.  I've smoked a full joint so far today, perks of not being a slave to the man I suppose.

I m glad you got the Joint in. I m in high tech. Data Center projects (POP's - on a global basis). Your credit cards cyber security depends on the projects I m involved with. As well as some universities, cities etc... And some tech customers as well. Give me time to polish cases. To a bright shine I might add.

I have no interest in a Stark.  But not because of what it is.  I was actually close to buying an Alta right before they imploded…

And topics like this are actually interesting to me.

Who needs suspension when you got 80 hp....?   🤣  These suckers go whizzing by all the time.  Luckily one of them has squeaking brakes so I know he is there.
