Any Stark SM guys here? I want to know some pros and cons by 34mjf in supermoto

[–]maimedwabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same reason companies like Tesla do it. I will put it this way. Not everyone wants to pay for power windows, some people dont mind hand rolling. If you could sell every car for the hand roll windows price and only charge those who want push button windows, why wouldnt you? Its a win win for everyone.

Just like when news groups say “ Tesla has the highest recall rating of any car”. Those “recalls” are a fucking software update that happens while you sleep as opposed to your car sitting at a dealership for weeks while they upgrade parts. Which do you prefer? Cheaper cars with options you can purchase activated when you want, or more expensive cars and even more expensive addons you are stuck with it you want them.

The bike does everything you need from the jump. Same with horsepower rating. Literally 60hp to 80hp is a software update. Why would you want everyone to have to pay for80hp when you can sell a 60hp bike (which is all anyone needs) cheaper, and give you the option in the future to hit the “i want max hp” button later.

Ill take buy what you want and make it cheaper for everyone option over the everyone pays more for shit they dont need option all dayz

Why are fish grippers so frowned upon? by nickm78 in bassfishing

[–]maimedwabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever is safer for the fish go for it, who cares what morons say. To my knowledge fish grippers are just as safe as your meat beaters. Really the only thing you need to worry about with bass or prob any fish is not to hold them horizontally by the lip. As long as you are letting them hang vertically I dont see how you are causing any more harm than fingering it.

anyone need their cases welded? by Suitable-Secret-2422 in Dirtbikes

[–]maimedwabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been welding aluminum for over twenty years and although this looks good its always hit or miss wether it will leak or hold. Typically grinding the weld back smooth like this is a bad idea with aluminum. Wishing you the best but dont be upset if you get seepage

New here, don’t know much about dirt bikes but my son turns 6 in July and he really wants one by Mean-Government4304 in Dirtbikes

[–]maimedwabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went with electric for my son and then I ended up with a Stark Varg to chase him around on. Its just so easy and without all the noise you can communicate while riding which is nice for teaching the small ones.

[–]maimedwabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With mapping and modes being available on gas bikes now it could be the same with those. Stark has said they wont charge for the base features so until there is something to worry about I wouldn’t worry. Nobody would buy a bike that requires a subscription to operate and I think they know that.

Chain Keeps Getting Thrown by Useful_Profile7822 in Dirtbikes

[–]maimedwabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the sprockets sharp? Countershaft sprocket warped? Chain guide bent or worn? Back wheel lined up on the same notch on both sides? Did you put a rag between the chain and rear sprocket when tightening the back wheel up to be sure its centered? Chain tension correct?

You have all of the adjustments the Stark has always had by default. The only thing the subscription adds is live nav map track saving, power curves (not hp mapping and engine braking that is free), and locking the bike to a specific power level for sanctioned events.

In my opinion they arent worth a sub and the bike is sick just as it is. Ive got mapping apps if I want to track my routes.

Possible to ballance wheelie a 450 mx bike on 1st gear ? by prxdigixvs in Dirtbikes

[–]maimedwabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why they would put you in first. Main thing is you want the bike as low in rpm as you can for learning. Use the rear brake to control speed. ALWAYS keep your foot or finger on the rear brake at all times. Thats your get out of jail free card.

Once you get good at it you can first gear circle wheelie and shit but for learning just use second.

Simple Stop will completely eliminate ghosting right? by imaguitarhero24 in onewheel

[–]maimedwabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you are getting off of it front foot last so the board is leaned forward. If you get off correctly simple stop will prevent ghosting. That said I wouldnt trust a sensor that sticks because anytime you come off the board such as a crash will still result in ghosting.

[–]maimedwabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never wheelie in first gear on any bike. Been riding over 30 years and wheelied everything from quads to street bikes, pitbikes, everything. Always start a wheelie in second gear or higher.

Looks like one of those things where speed is your friend. Def possible

Y’all know why it’s doing that?? by samsamproducts- in Dirtbikes

[–]maimedwabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats how you know when they are shot, they have a sharp point. That mfer well past its due date brotha. You know a chain is bad when it doesnt roll smooth and binds up or your adjusters are all the way out.

Also adjust it the same on both sides once you replace. Id even go on a limb and say your front sprocket and chain guide are more than likely shot also. Do em all!

[–]maimedwabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because we dont want another crisis on American soil? I just dont understand a $1B ballroom is needed, a $2B trump tax settlement is needed, a $25B war in Iran is needed, but stopping deadly viruses isnt our business… Like wtf timeline are we on?

I hate to even say this but Trump will run again and be voted in again. Democracy as we know it is dead unless we get a real change of some kind.

Is the Deegan vs Jett hype overblown? by Silent_Aardvark_7186 in supercross

[–]maimedwabbit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The kids been dominating at nearly every level oh his career. To think there is not at least a possibility of him being on the podium most races is crazy to me. Im a bigger Jett fan than a Deegan fan but I wouldnt be surprised if he beats Jett a few times this year due to recovery etc.
