Yes you can use the the socket by the reverse lever for charging, I'm not sure if you need a special charger as I picked up the BMW charger at a good discount, and use that for my TC.

That's when the sidecar comes out of the garage

A couple of bikes at a local bike show, the first is a 2796cc single cylinder from a Bristol Hercules Radial engine, only the barrel, piston & sleeve valve are from the original engine, the rest was made at home. The second is a 2.2 litre 5 cylinder radial.

There is a single torx bolt at the rear of the seat, check that it is fully tightened, you may have to remove the pad on the front of the top box for ease of access, this is held in place by 2 more bolts inside the top box. There are 4 bolts at the back of the box, you need to undo the 2 inner...

Hill start is activated by a firm squeeze on the brake lever, & is quite easy to do by accident when holding the bike steady as a passenger gets on or off your bike. You can disable it completely in the settings menu if you wish. I activate mine unintentionally sometimes when backing the...

Have you checked the condition of the fuses, the few electrical gremlins I've had have been down to the fuse contacts becoming dirty due to being exposed to the elements.

Is the adaptive headlight different on the classic to the B/TC?

Mine looked similar & one of the connecters was easy to bend, I replaced the fuse as I had a spare, & as a new one is only a couple of pounds I always carry a spare just in case. I borrowed!! a small container from the kitchen to keep a selection of the correct fuses in as the card & plastic...

I had this recently on my TC, it would flash up then clear with no message on the screen. The problem turned out to be the main 50amp fuse. The spade ends had started to corrode & cause power issues. Fuse replaced with a new one & contacts cleaned, there have been no further problems. Since...

Russ did the tyres as we were putting a car tyre on the rear of the outfit, & he wanted to make sure there were no problems with the tyre we fitted. I shall have a word with my daughter as she uses them for her bike as well.

It's been a few years since I used them as the Kawasaki VN outfit doesn't do the miles the R18 does. I might have to look for somewhere else if they are going to charge that much to change tyres. Loose wheels used to be free.

Which tyre shop are you using? I used to use Russ's tyres, & paid way less than £100 for fitting & balancing.

On the TC the Hill Hold is activated in the settings part of the menus on the screen, it uses the ABS system to apply pressure to the braking system when the rider needs assistance on hills & inclines to prevent the bike from rolling. A sharp pull of the brake lever sets & releases it when...

I have a Mustang Day Rider on my TC, bought from Bahnstormers at Farringdon with the reverse recall compensation. Definitely better than the stock seat for me.

I have a 2021 TC with 17,976 miles on it & no issues with it, it is having the reverse fix done & new tyres fitted at the dealers where I bought it. I'm also lucky in that one of the service managers lives close to me & will drop the bike back to me when it's finished.

My TC is having the reverse fix done tomorrow. The software update is done overnight when there is less demand on the internet system. Less chance of the download failing & messing things up.

Done, I don't visit London too often, but as it is intended as a national policy, it would affect more than those that ride in London.

I use a telescopic mirror, only a few pounds from e-bay. Allows checking the oil level while staying upright on the bike.

17,298 & counting on my TC. Bought as an ex demo bike with just over 600miles on it. It would be more but work gets in the way of the important things in life.

Similar to my headlight. I had a slight movement of the light on the road, about what I used to get get on older bikes. The adaptive function worked as intended & the beam was correctly aligned, both dip & main. Bahnstormers at Farringdon checked the headlight during the annual service, &...
