So is that what caused the initial lock-up?!
Had a slight poo-pants moment this morning as my rear tyre slipped about 3cm sideways on wet road letters, fairly confident in the bike though after sliding significantly more sideways on a gravelled corner at 10mph!

Yup.

Apparently, if anything touches it or knocks it during riding, it can fault and completely fail to report anything. This means the engine doesn't manage torque and you have a 250Kg machine trying to deliver all 143Nm of torque to the rear wheel even though you're sideways.
