XT660Z 2010 Rear Wheel Spokes
 
Hi all,
Well after a fun weekend playing in mud.....well it was not much fun really as it took me 5 hours of sweat to get the bike out of a mud hole....
when I got home the bike needed a good wash, I found that I have broken two spokes and bent at least 8 on the rotor side of the rear wheel, perhaps there was a hidden rock or log in the mud hole when I was trying to ride it out.
My local Yamaha dealer in Oz can get me a complete set of spokes...as Yamaha don't list them individually....and they would take till March to arrive on the slow boat....the dealer also reckons that being such a new model that after-market spokes would be hard to find.....

Any one know where in the UK or Europe I could find at least 10 spokes for the rear wheel rotor side?

Please send a pm to Jmo, she will probably give you some ideas and pointers. I believe she had both wheel rims changed and relaced with stainless steel spokes.

Ask your local bike shop who makes up spokes for special wheels, or contact your local Harley shop & get some spokes made to size.
