Axle failure on a Pani V4s by the look of it... put it here because that axle is spammed all over the Duc product line:

Facebook post - Axle Failure

First time I've ever heard of this, I suspect improperly torqued bearing nut but could be caused by other things too...

They won’t impeach it. It broke on the LEFT side of the axle not the part that’s holding it all together.?

Like the Jesus nut on a copter. “ We aren’t covering that ! It broke on this side and fell off on that side. No relationship. “

Sort of like this?
This was my VFR800 about 2 years ago.
Rear sprocket disappeared down the road.
Wheel stayed on while I coasted to a stop.
Could have been worse, and I was able to buy used parts and fix it up.

Pani snapped an axle, you can see brake rotor still attached to the wheel, VFR ^ just lost a nut...

His own fault. Riding around for 3 weeks with a wobble and not doing anything about it. smh

yea when i read that it became pretty obvious bearing failure (overtightened pinchbolts probably...).
