The risk
In forged side stands, engine vibrations may cause the side stand spring to break. As a result, the side stand may swing out while the vehicle is in motion, leading to an increased risk of accidents. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
