Hazard

This product poses a serious risk of injuries due to vibration at the mounting location of the bank angle sensor, which, if combined with the misrouting of various wires that impinge on the sensor or its pigtail, can compromise the isolation of the bank angle sensor. Under certain circumstances, this may create a false “tip” signal and cause the engine to quit while an operator is riding the motorcycle. This could result in an accident, which could cause injury or death to the rider.
