The bike shut off at low charge under full throttle / won't turn on after being run to zero — what to do?
Below ~10% at full throttle the Stark goes into protection to save the controllers. The battery is not dying.
Forced start
- Remove the spoiler and the carbon cover.
- Press the power button three times for 2 s until the red light goes out.
- Within 5 s, disconnect the orange HV connector and wait 5 s.
- Hold the power button (red lights up) and within 2 s reconnect the HV.
It may take several attempts; don't do more than 10 — contact Stark support.
On newer MX firmware, starting from a full shutdown needs 4.4–4.5 V on the VCU battery, otherwise it blinks red three times.
