What NHTSA recorded

On certain motorcycles, under extended running speeds near the engine's revolution limit, the engine's connecting rod bolts can fail.

Possible consequence

Should such a failure occur, the motorcycle's engine can suddenly stop turning or "lock," requiring the operator to disengage the clutch in order to maintain control of the motorcycle. If the clutch is not disengaged, the operator can lose of control of the motorcycle, which could result in a crash, personal injury, or death.
