What are the defects?
The main switch wire lead is routed near a metal cable guide located on the steering head. Through normal use, there is a possibility that the wire lead may be worn by the metal guide.
What are the hazards?
If the wire lead is worn by the metal guide, this may potentially result in an electrical shortage between the lead and the main frame.
