Defect:: On certain motorcycles, the electrical wiring for the oxygen sensor and the ignition lead for the right-hand secondary spark plug have a parallel routing over part of their installation path. the close proximity of these cables may allow the signal from the ignition lead to interfere with the signal from the oxygen sensor wiring.
