    Had the similar thing happen to a friends KTM. Hit a tree head on and snapped the top triple clamp, then had to ride 10km back to the car.

    yah reckon the tipple clamps top and bottom have snapped off leaving the bearings in place other maybe if they where loose i guess but its still ment to take one hell of a pounding given its the only part that holds the front end to the frame. not a hell of a lot a maintenance to do there other than bearings and that shouldn't cause that to happen.

    poor casting , fatigue, movement Chinese involvement, she'll be right , all of which could cause that failure

    interestingly enough , u said it wasn't the first time , which would ( one assumes) narrows it down to design , material or process....

    either way, a scary endo .......
