The risk
The vibration level of the motorcycle may cause an internal component of the ignition lock to wear prematurely, leading to sporadic loss of electrical contact. As a result, the ignition may be interrupted either at a standstill or while riding. This could cause the engine to stall and lead to loss of the display cluster, rear light, indicators and electrically powered assistance systems, such as ABS, increasing the risk of an accident. This product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
