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.
