It could have been the front end. I know my 2009 ZX6r's front end is prone to high siding when you make fast transitions because of the BPF front end. The suspension dude warned me of this (trying to sell suspension of course) because the front end will come up too quickly. I've experienced this a few times going downhill. You don't realize what a good revalved front end will do in fast transitions and how it can save ur ass.

If you weren't on the brakes or gas, just flipping the bike, I'm still betting it was just gravel that washed the front end, but there is the other possibilty of course.
