What can fail
The positive battery connector can touch the battery support, creating a short circuit. On ABS bikes, current flows through brake lines to the frame, heating them and weakening front brakes. In rare cases, current melts the fuel tank, risking fuel leaks and fire.
What the fix does
The battery terminal extension will be removed and the positive cable will be bolted directly to the battery.
