Here are the specs for the Alta standard charger that came with my bike (288xx variant). Page 1 pretty much says it all.

Zero motorcycles with modular batteries - especially the fleet bikes (police, military, etc.) have long been capable of offboard charging, probably using the Zero quick charger. It seems to me that most any MC-type battery should be able to do the same with the proper charger-output and data...

I replaced my MXR's Regina non-O-ring chain at 2900 mi (master link failed at @ 2K mi.). Imo this was a lightweight OEM-type chain, OK at best. I wanted to reduce anti-squat & make the front end feel lighter, so I put on a Renthal 292-520-12P front sprocket and Moose M5254-480 or 1211-0672...

There are no other markings anywhere on the connector (numbers, letters, etc.)? If you could find a small-ID thick / soft O-ring that could be stretched and released between the locking collar and body, that might replace the missing spring tension (more than one might be needed) - or a very...

That page I posted used to look like the other Factory Edition wheel pages, with a bunch of options etc - now it's just a stock photo & phone number. :( I should've saved the page instead of the link; I clearly remember a different pic and solid-Ti hub/spoke/rim options, and also wondering...

Remind them how important wheel upgrades can be. :D

Excellent job! Wish I had my Stark to use it with :)

It might be enough to just cut/grind a wide slot in the wear-mark area, allowing the retainer to slide in / rotate more and reduce return tension - could always hack it all off if it failed.

Is the cylinder a separate removable 'cup' held on by the pivot bolt, or an extension of the pivot center/bearing/etc? You might also try a spacer & longer screw for the spring retainer, clunky I know. An auto-retracting kickstand would've screwed me up every single one of my last 50+ rides...

A few weeks back I finally test-rode a Varg, at BigBoyzToys in Marlboro NY. The one I rode was #303, a fully broken-in demo. The ride was street-only, as I wanted to see what the 80hp map was like from 0 to 100% with no dirt in the mix (good decision, it turned out), and test the brakes as...

Try connecting the resistor in series (daisy-chain) with the plate light, then connect the far ends of both to where you connected the plate light before. If you still have problems, you'll need a larger-ohm-value resistor, and if that gets too hot in use you may need a higher wattage rating as...

No - this is a 120VAC unit, as I was unable to find a 240VAC one with enough power capability or the proper adaptors to be usable with the Stark. I figured I'd post it anyway as it will work for the majority of US Varg owners.

As an alternative... on my WP forks I loosen the fork-guard screws and pull the guards away from the upper tubes - sometimes pretty hard - then re-tighten. It may take several tries and possibly a little heat, but I've always ended up with zero contact so far.

Here's what I had in my notes: "Leaving the bike on while charging can leave the BCU running & fry critical 12V components + the DCDC, which is usually why the bike dies." I thought there was a reference to the 12V battery dying too, can't find it now. I left mine on once for about 5h...

I've never seen or read about an Alta gearbox breather hose - not sure the Alta's IP67 rating would allow it. I've never seen any evidence of water in my oil, either through the sight glass or during oil changes.

It is! Mine surely won't be, in one direction anyway :)

Only disagree with two things; requires (I'd sub "sometimes requires") and will ("may"), as I've seen many gaskets/seals/etc. not leak at all under 100+ bar differentials, sometimes for decades. My replies at this Stark Varg potential-gearbox-oil-contamination thread are intended only to help...

Cool!

Just curious - why would you want it to breathe in? As I mentioned, a negligible air-temp-related vacuum might be present from time to time, big deal.

Maybe a 1-way check valve would be a good idea. I'd much rather "risk"an occasional tiny vacuum than suck anything into my gearbox.
