08 r6 steering lockup

[hlywdwavrider]

I just bought my second new 08 r6. I don’t think they prepped the bike correctly or rushed doing it. I have about 250 miles on it. I was riding taking a right on ramp to another highway and was going around the bend doing about 60 downshifting to make the turn. As I was going into it and turning the handlebars LOCKED UP and I just kept going straight into the median flipping myself and the bike I am not sure and after insurance tells me that it was my fault, I am going to have another inspection done to find out.

What I wanted to know is if anyone has heard of a lockup like this before? Any thoughts would help.

Thanks.

The 06 R6 was coming out with loose steering columns. It was a known issue. But I haven't heard of bikes steering locking up.
