Spent half of yesterday footering with a brake/tail light. First bought new bulbs, later i returned to the autoparts store in disgust- to exchange bulbs for correct ones, then went to another autoparts because i didn’t didn’t trust either of the well-meaning but dithering oul lad’s bulb recommendations. My suspicions proved correct- went home and installed correct bulbs but still no lights. Took out the tail light and made a fiendishly clever tinfoil based repair to a burnt out connection (no hats were harmed etc).
He shoots, he scores.
You could have checked the bulb with a 9v battery or a spare car battery if you have one.
Or an ohm metre…
I just trusted the dash readout … i dont do my own research
Based on your tin-foil repair I think you’ll have to start learning.
Another glorious pass on a retest.

The older Focus model leaks at the back and is a pain to sort out when it happens.
I’m leaking meself a bit with age😄
I’d imagine you had more than a suspicion? 
I only barely made it home the last time. Had been all noise and no action for a while
Bought myself a super blackbird to replace it, but I reckon I’ll hang onto it tbh. It’s a grand bike for leaving at the station.
You got your money’s worth there, fair play!

I certainly did. Big job to get at the damn thing. BMW bike designers do not make things easy for repairs. It’s a £120 part £800 labour job. Your man reckoned I should flog it as is when I told him I was confident it was the clutch but it’s a grand oul bus so I’ll keep it. Here’s the new (to me) bus
