The risk
The screw connection of the oil filter may become detached at high engine speeds (>= 12 500 rpm), leading to an oil leak from the oil filter. This can result in oil deposits onto the road, creating slippery sections, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries especially for two-wheeled vehicles. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
