[JENX!!!]

Well how could you expect to find that being a problem. IS that normal to happen on track bikes?

Uh, fail to the bike owner as well, the rider is responsible for having the equipment in good shape, damn lucky bro, nice saves. :cool

Pre ride inspection of all control parts is big. The tech inspector should have caught this

Ahh, looks like I will need to go to one of these trackdays to just check it out and see whats up. Looks like a fun (but Expensive) hobby.

The R6 is very buzzy and given the uber stiff suspension, it could have very easily been tight in the morning during tech, had a bolt back out through out the morning, then came loose after lunch. Its not like tech inspectors check the torque specs of every bolt on the bike :rolleyes

And the first two are classic..pass slower riders, go in hot, and run off the track. Done it a few times myself :nerd

My advice. German Torque Spec, and safety wire. (Good-n-Tight') and some safety wire will prevent this from happening again.
