I had adjusted my chain about a week ago and yesterday I heard a clicking noise as I moved the bike in the garage, I thought maybe I'd overtightened the chain or misaligned the wheel.
So put the bike on side stand and checked, chain slack was 52mm, a bit tight maybe so thought I'd slacken it a bit and check the wheel alignment.
Went to loosen the wheel nut with my breaker bar (alway use my torque wrench to tighten it to 105Nm as per the book) Thought it was a little stiff, so gave it a good push and it began to move but didn't break loose, gave it another and heard crack noise. Checked, couldn't see anything wrong till I checked the cup on the right hand side of the bike.
See the picture below, 2 things I don't get, why didn't nut break loose in my first turn and second how on earth could the assembly shear off like that?
Needless to say I'm off to the dealer to get it fixed under warranty (I hope! I know they do everything they can to get out of that stuff) but back wheel is now loose so it's not safe to ride.....
