As for what happened. Only explanation I can think of is: 1st gear is sometimes jerky. If you let off the throttle a bit in first gear while turning, then it's possible the jerkiness caused the front wheel to loose traction. The front wheel may then have turned fully in one direction, then suddenly regained traction throwing you off.

If that did happen, it wasn't the bikes fault. That would be rider error for having poor throttle control and/or being in the wrong gear for the turn.
lol yea that's him. didnt see that

I'm not sure what you're saying... but the turn was SMOOTH... no jerkiness, if that is what you were asking. I fully pressed the clutch, with no throttle.

I stood the bike up after the drop. It died as soon as it stood up. I tried starting the bike. It didn't turn over, so I shifted into nuetral, took the key out completely waited 3 seconds, and it turned on normally and rode normally afterward.

besides little pebbles, nothing else was around.
