Saw that yesterday leaving Comp Edge. Could happen to any bike. Inspect those frames bros.
Made me sad for the rider. Glad he walked it off. Coulda been worse.

Most frame failures like that were a long time coming. Signs of fatigue and cracking show them selves long before the failure..


In our area, some of the best riders who are hard on equipment have had no issues on the Ktm/husky for an insane amount of hours with poor maitenance.

What is a "snapt" frame? Do people even look at what they post?

I think the point is that you've confused texting with constructing an intelligible sentence in a public forum, where doing so can result in being looked upon as an unintelligent individual.

Tell me one major brand that escaped this fate Honda, Kawi, Suzuki, Yamaha, KTM, It is definitly not just KTM having this issue, but i would assume people just want to point it out because they find it amusing to point towards a brand they just dont like. Ofc it is very unfortunate but in all honestly you make it sound like this happens regulary.
