The risk
The cable connecting the flushing valve to the fuel vapour collection system may come into contact with the exhaust pipe and, if damaged, cause a short circuit. As a result, the vehicle electronics could fail and thus the motor could stop, which, in the worst case, could cause the rider to fall.
Product: Motorcycle.
