The risk
The front brake line is in a position in which it could be compressed between the fuel tank and the frame, either during first assembly or during subsequent servicing. If the compressed brake line is not detected, it might cause an increase in the pressure of the front brake fluid while the motorcycle is being driven, which might block the front wheel.
Product: Motorcycles.
