Details

What's wrong: Possible positive battery cable chaffing can cause the cable to ground to frame, allowing possible interruption to the ignition system. Motorcycle can crank, but not start.

Why it matters: Without the additional insulation, the motorcycle poses a risk to safety, with possible interruption of the ignition system.

The fix: Dealers will install additional insulation on the positive battery cable.
