well, you see the new Michelins actually store energy from braking and 
then release it on accelerating out of the corner, giveing the effect of 
a 2 wheel drive, since the front wheel stored so much more energy in 
braking.

It seems that the slipper clutch was not set up properly and the power 
released from the rear wheel was coming in at a different frequency to 
the pulse cycle from the engine, causing the crankshaft to melt.
