THE ELECTRICAL CABLES FROM THE BATTERY TO THE STARTER SOLENOID COULD BECOME WEDGED BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT AND THE WIRE GUIDE. THIS COULD LEAD TO INSULATION DAMAGE AND A POSSIBLE SHORT CIRCUIT WHICH COULD IN TURN CAUSE ENGINE STOPPAGE AND LIGHT FAILURE, RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: CABLES WILL BE ROUTED THROUGH THE COIL BRACKET, A GROMMET WILL BE INSTALLED TO PREVENT CHAFING OF THE INSULATION AND CABLES WILL BE SECURED WITH A PLASTIC TIE WRAP. CABLES FOUND TO BE DAMAGED DURING INITIAL INSPECTION WILL BE REPLACED.
