Interesting. ...
Do you have a gremlin bell... does this happen often or just once..?? it could be someone has backed into you but if it happens a lot then there is some other issue. It could be if you back into a high curb and pull back out it would bend the plate up. I have seen others back it and bump the curb and plate..

This exact same thing happened to me. Destroyed the clapper inside the bell.

Cant quite say fyi I had similar issue but, added a trailer plate mount arm (I had laying around)to the underside of mine so I could use all 4 bolts to hold a license plate frame I found, first one broke when only using 2 bolts. Now I've added trailer hitch & the relocation kit cant even fit the frame
Additional info: used 1"1/4 1/4x 20 SS bolts & nylon nuts, the frame broke as if was bent up too far. The plate frame is metal too not crap plastic, Stock mount just does not hold.
First frame:

& after the mod:image.jpg 4 bolts are better

My experience is with an 09 RS SE5. Going down a potholed road. She the front bike, me following. Saw a pothole, dodged it, and hit it square with the rear tire. Bottomed out and took the plate right off.
