Howdy, my brother passed away on a VFR on Sept 8th 2007. His was a VFR 800 between the years of 2002 - 2005. It was a clear dry day. It was late in the day. He lost controll for no apparen reason. His buddies were behind him and still can't explain why he wiped out. would this defect cause a crash? He was an experienced rider. If his bike was defective, could a sudden loss of power at the begining of a sweeping turn cause a crash? If so, how could we tell from looking at the bike. It won't bring him back, but it will help my Mom understand why she lost a son. Thanks for any replies.
