The risk
The support bracket connecting the engine to the frame may crack because of insufficient welding in the main fixture points. Consequently, the engine mounting could split, resulting in a misalignment of the drive unit and/or of the rear wheel and making the vehicle impossible to control. The rider may fall off and suffer injuries.
