Stark Varg service time. So easy! See what came out of this gearbox...Nasty! 

Guessing some type of lube on the gears mixing with gear oil. Thanks!

That's it!! Hardly anything.

Its just a splash lubricant for the primary and reduction gear.

@@bwhaskell Have you changed yours after the first 5hr service? I'm thinking it should be done more often then they say. Its super easy and takes such a small amount of oil i'm thinking why not?

@@travel_moto_build5889 I did a 2nd change just to see and it was not like that. Didn't seem to need it either. The gear oil was clean and looked about the same as when I put it in. I'll do 30-40 hours on it next time.

Even less than those even! Seemed like 2-3oz only. Cheap fluid change!

@@913outdoors I can't wait for mine to come in February.

@@RichardsCranium You are going to freak out once you ride it! So amazing.

I actually thought about that and went back and flushed it out a few times until it came out clean. I think if a little water got in it would have veen from washing it but still not sure that's what it is. My guess is assembly lube and such. I'll change it again after a few rides and see how it looks.

Mine is one of the early bikes. I wonder if I had some assembly grease or anti-seize in it. Such a tiny amount i'll probably just keep doing it at 5hrs.

@@zarbycrypto9067 5 hours then every 40hrs. Do your oil change now. Uts super easy.

@@913outdoors is that all I’ll need to do? How often will I need to change brakes or anything else

@@zarbycrypto9067 Brakes and chain as needed. Just check for wear. Keep everything greased and tight. Super easy bike to maintain.

Crazy

Seems like its just the final drive gear reduction in there. Its such a tiny amount.

​@@913outdoorsWhen is the next change interval? I recall something like 500 hours, correct? Be interesting to see if the oil is any better. Also, in the Varg official video, I think the tech rinsed the gear box with extra oil before refilling. Might consider spinning up the rear wheel on the stand and doing a second oil change to ensure all the particles are removed.

@@benjaminhawkins3767 Manual says 40 hours or 12 months. I'm going to do it every 5hrs. Its just a tiny amount of gear oil and super simple. Hopefully it looks better next time!

Congrats! I have not got notifications except for updates.

@@Strangerthingsvehicles no filter.

Doubt it. Its sealed pretty well. I'd think feom power washing maybe but the car has an o'ring and fits pretty snug. Nowhere else for water to get in really.

@@omricod1 Shoot Stark an email. Mine stays nice and cool. Never had that happen.

Did you ever figure out what the size was?

40 hours per stark. Its super simple. I'll probably do it every 20. Barely any fluid in there as well.

@@913outdoorsjust had my stark got overheated. Got a warning and the bike just froze. Only 19 hours in. What can this be?

You just fill until it comes out of the oil level bolt hole. Its not much! 80hr interval. Its just a tiny amount of gear oil. I plan to do mine yearly.

Yes for sure! Well, the 60hp setting pulls harder than my 450. The 80hp setting is just hilarious. Its fun to play around with but difficult to ride. I usually just hit 55hp and leave it be. Feels perfect there for me.

@@913outdoors thanks, good to know I’ve been thinking about getting one once some of the small problems are worked out in a year or two

@@KTM12CK Order one up! By the time you get it most of the kinks will be worked out. They have been making quite a few changes since I got mine.

I think its literally just 2 gears. The red Jeep was behind me in the other garage 🤣

Yeah. It was dead.. sorry.

Go cry in the corner MARY 😅 ❄

Definitely test ride one of these if you ever get the chance. Its insane! I love all my gas bikes and don't plan on selling any but this one destroys them all in power, handling, its silent and super easy to ride. Love it!

@913outdoors thanks for the adult reply , not some smart ass reply, I would try one, but sticking with gas and the sound of a 2 or 4 stroke, keep it on 2

@@shawnhorne9296 No worries! I love my gas bikes too. But having a home track its really nice to ride without neighbors even knowing! We have about 20 miles of trail that gets close to some houses in parts and I can ride freely without anyone complaining about the noise. The quiet bikes will open a lot of doors that have been closed for years because of noise. But I totally get it! Gas bikes do sound cool 😎. The silent riding has its charm for sure. Didn't take long to get used to it and really enjoy it. Its like a crazy fast mountain bike with MX suspension.

@@913outdoors I agree with the quietness. I have about 20 miles of single track on my property too and it's pretty cool to come up on deer, bear, owls and moose because of the lack of noise.
