The risk
There is an insufficient margin of clearance between the radiator outlet hose and the exhaust pipe. As a consequence, it is possible that the radiator outlet hose might contact the exhaust pipe causing damage to the radiator outlet hose. In the worst case, this could lead to the leaking of engine coolant which could cause burns to the rider.
