The risk

Due to a production fault on the upper part of the throttle grip housing, the throttle cable wire may slide out of the deflection roller and become wedged between the deflection roller and the housing. This blocks the throttle slide and results in an uncontrollable riding situation.

Product: Motorcycles, 2-stroke, 85cc – 300cc.
