Risk
Improper sixth gear sets were installed on gearboxes that were replaced during an earlier workshop intervention. This can lead to excessive wear of the control intervals in the event of prolonged driving at full load in sixth gear. In the event of a malfunction, the gear change would not be performed correctly or two gears may be changed at the same time. The rear wheel may lock and/or the gears may be damaged, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two or three wheels vehicles and quadricycles.
