Sorry to hear about your spill. At least you're OK.

Right I'm gonna make a few assumptions here.

First I think you can discount the fairing falling off as the bike is brand new.

I'm guessing that the rear locked up as you down changed. Do you "blip" the throttle to minimise the engine braking? Plus the standard tyres are not very grippy when worn and yours had only 350 gentle miles, so possibly not at optimum grip anyway.

This is a case for riding with a buddy who either might have seen the off and told you the problem or, preferably, given you some pointers so that it never happened.

As I say this is all assumption, so feel free to ignore it all.
