β οΈ Risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because, due to an improper manufacturing process of the hydraulic brake accumulator, the resin film (diaphragm) inside the accumulator may get damaged. If use continues under this condition, a crack in the diaphragm may occur and the amount of the nitrogen gas enclosed in the accumulator may decrease, resulting in the following phenomenon: 1. braking may be delayed if the user tries to brake rapidly, 2. more effort may need to be applied to the brake pedal when the engine has been started after a long stoppage period.
