Broken spokes blow, right? Especially when you're far from home on the trail. You can purchase 2 complete sets of spokes to have a couple extra for those 'just-in-case' moments but that can be a costly venture. Don't want to buy the complete set? We've got you. Yamaha Factory spokes come neatly repackaged into pocket-size kits to store in your tool rolls or attach to the inside of your pannier lid. (Tape not included, sorry!)
The Super Ténéré (XT1200Z) has 5 different spoke sizes between the front and rear wheels and their differences is only a couple millimeters. Each Kit contains 8 Yamaha factory spokes and their locations are laid out and labeled as follows, they include all new nipples:
- Front - Inboard YELLOW x 2 (Short)
- Front - Outboard BLACK x 2 (Long)
- Rear - Inboard RED x 2 (Short)
- Rear - Right Outboard GREEN x 1 (Medium)
- Rear - Left Outboard BLUE x 1 (Long)
- Actual Chopsticks x 2
- Legend
Notes:
- Locations noted above are based on you sitting on the bike
- Inboard and Outboard are noted at the Hub
- Front spokes are longer so its easy to tell the difference
- Once opened package is not resealable on the trail
- Follow the legend in the package you receive, small changes will occur without warning
- Chopsticks are one time use for that trail-side sushi and pretty much there as a joke...
