On certain motorcycles, the positive battery connector could contact the battery support and result in a short circuit. On vehicles with ABS, electrical current could be conducted over the front brake lines to the frame, thereby increasing brake line temperature and impairing front brake performance. In extreme cases, the current could melt a hold in an empty or low fuel tank. In the worst case, fuel leakage and/or fire could result. Correction: DPositive battery terminal extension will be removed and the positive cable will be attached directly to the battery with a bolt.
