The risk
A fixing nut of the starting pedal could become loose while driving, resulting in the engine cutting out. Moreover, a screw could become loose in the air filter, which could become trapped in the throttle valve, blocking acceleration so that the motorcycle cannot reduce speed. In some units of the product the fuel hose connector is not properly connected, which could cause a fuel leak.
