Lightswitch V1: questions and answers

Which Stark Varg does the Lightswitch V1 fit?

The Lightswitch V1 fits every Stark Varg that comes with a headlight from the factory. It plugs into the original headlight connector, so there is no adapter to buy and nothing to cut. The Varg MX has no lights, so there is nothing to switch on an MX.

What is the difference between Lightswitch V1 and V2?

The V1 switches the headlight only. The Lightswitch V2 switches headlight and taillight together with one handlebar switch, and it can add a 12V output at the front, at the rear, or at both ends. If the taillight can stay on, the V1 is the cheaper option.

How is the Lightswitch V1 installed?

Plug and play, in a few minutes: unplug the headlight connector, plug the switch inline using the original connectors, clamp the switch to the handlebar and route the cable along the existing harness. Nothing is cut or spliced. Unplug it and the bike is back to stock.

What is the 12V output for?

The optional 12V output is a plug-and-play power connector fed from the Varg's existing wiring. Use it for a GPS, a phone charger or an auxiliary light at the front of the bike.

Why would I turn the lights off on a Stark Varg?

Most riders switch the lights off on closed courses, at the motocross track and on daylight off-road rides, where lights are not needed and a permanently lit headlight gets in the way of other riders. From the factory, the Varg has no handlebar switch for its lights.

Can I see whether the lights are on?

Yes. The switch glows softly while the lights are on and stays dark when they are off, so you can check the status at a glance.

Is the Lightswitch waterproof?

Yes. The switch and the connectors are waterproof, and the electronics have reverse polarity and overvoltage protection. Every Lightswitch comes with a 2-year warranty.

Does the Lightswitch affect the Stark Future warranty?

The Lightswitch uses the original connectors and makes no permanent change to the wiring harness, so it can be removed without a trace. Warranty terms are set by Stark Future, and fitting parts that are not original equipment may affect them. See the legal notice below.

Is it legal to ride with the lights off?

The Lightswitch is an off-road accessory. On public roads the prescribed lighting has to stay on, and the rider is responsible for complying with local law. Use the switch on closed courses, private property and other legally permitted off-road use.

Who makes the Lightswitch and where does it ship from?

The Lightswitch is developed and built by RARE GmbH in St. Veit im Pongau, Austria, the makers of the RARE Clutch for the Stark Varg. We ship worldwide, including the USA, Canada and Australia.

12V output.

The 12V output is an additional power connector that runs off your Varg's existing wiring. Use it for accessories like a GPS, a phone charger or an auxiliary light.

Choose the version without the output if you only want to switch your lights. On the V2 you can also choose where the output sits: at the front, at the rear, or both.

Like the switch itself, the output is plug and play. No cutting and no permanent changes to the factory wiring harness.
