My bike's frame has had a catastrophic failure by splitting open I was driving down the freeway (710nb lane3 before the 1HWY exit) and hit a pothole that jolted the bike but caused no airtime or wobbling, the bike then started intermittently scrapping on the ground, I pulled over thinking I had a flat tire, but the tire was fine. the lower fairings had bent but I could see no obvious signs of problems. I rode off the freeway with the bike occasionally scrapping the ground and inspected it further to find the frame on both sides of the bike to be split and bent, barley holding up the bike and causing the engine to have almost no clearance from the ground.
