I agree totally with Rowdy on this ...motorcyles don't break for no reason,there is always a reason. It depends if the owner is MAN ENOUGH to admit they did damage(stunting,wheelies,stoppies,dropping them,100 MPH plus blasts) to the bike before the failure or not. You will be hard pressed to find many ,if any squids to own up and take responsibility for their actions.
Manufacturers are not going to cover stuff like this unless you can prove the bike has not been raced , stunted on or whatever. They do extensive testing and research of these bikes before they hit the market. They know what the bikes are capable of handling,stress wise.
