⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of injuries because the affected motorcycles can experience 5th gear galling on the clutch shaft due to lack of lubrication. This condition can cause the gear to seize to the shaft, resulting in rear wheel lock-up. This could result in an accident, which could cause injury or death to the rider.
