The risk
The shock pre-load adjuster mounting bracket may break, causing the shock adjuster to come into contact with the tyre. This could cause a sudden loss of air pressure and thus a risk of accident and injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
