Hazard
In the catalyst-integrated muffler optionally equipped as the silencer, the exhaust gas inlet structure is inadequate, and the rigidity of the bracket supporting the exhaust pipe between the engine and muffler, combined with insufficient capacity of the vibration-damping rubber on the bracket, causes cracking at the welded joint of the muffler's exhaust gas inlet. Continued use in this condition may result in exterior noise exceeding regulatory limits.
