Hi Thanks, can you and others here with a TVL let me know about your ownership experience? Has the bike been reliable?
Warning lights came on during my test ride of a 2021 TVL plus center stand issue
I am considering buying a used 2021 TVL SCS and was fortunate enough to take it on a test ride. It ran great and I am impressed. Only problem was that during a stop at a red light while in first gear, the center red light plus left and right amber lights came on . I was on a little hill and the lights turned off eventually. I spoke with the owner and he was not sure what the lights were all about. The bike is like new with about 1k miles. Another problem is that the bike is very hard to get up on the center stand. I would appreciate it if someone could help with the warning lights coming on and why the bike is so hard to get up on the center stand. I have had other bikes including BMW 1250 GSA and they were not hard getting up on the enter stand.
Thanks,
Scott

It has about 1500 miles, just a lean angle sensor replaced under warranty..
Hi TexasMV, thanks for letting me know.
My 2016 purchased new in 2018 has never left me stranded at the side of the road.Hi Thanks, can you and others here with a TVL let me know about your ownership experience? Has the bike been reliable?
But, over the course of 5 years and 10k miles my bike has experienced:
1)Cruise control button failure; was able to MacGyver a fix myself.
2)Engine just stopped while slowing for a stop sign; it did restart and has not flamed out since... touch wood.
3)Intermittent fuel indicator operation (for over a year); now does not work at all and not fixed it yet.
4)Low rear brake pedal due to air in the rear ABS circuit; (fixed) by discontinuing use of rear ABS circuit by way of DIY brake line.
5)The infamous kangaroo clutch activity; fixed myself (so far) by changing installation direction of the belleville spring in the clutch pack.
6)Oh just remembered right off the dealer's lot the clutch switch did not work. Long story short: air in the slave cylinder was the problem; fixed myself and touch wood, no further problem with it.
Other than those things it's a great bike; that I would not buy again.
