EU Safety GateSerious riskFireOct 2, 2015

Hazard

Because of possible damage to an O-ring, fitted poorly when the engine was assembled, motor oil can leak from one of the oil pipes. As the oil pipe is located outside close to the engine, at the level of the exhaust manifold, the leaking oil could drop onto the hot exhaust manifold while the motorcycle is being driven and catch fire.
