Broken spoke/ nipple. I had noticed my rear tire flat on my motorcycle in the garage, when i looked to see how it became flat i found a broken spoke/nipple. A piece of the spoke nipple had punctured the inner tube and caused the flat. When the local motorcycle repair shop fixed the problem, they actually found another broken spoke and replaced it when they found it. I know of many other people having these same issues and several friends with the same motorcycle to have had the exact same problem. Nobody has gotten hurt yet, but i believe that day is coming.
Broken left rear outer spokes on rear wheel.
Broken spoke on rear wheel causing flat tire at highway speeds.
While riding motorcycle on highway, let rear outer spoke on rear tire breaks suddenly and catastrophically once at 6200 mile, second at 23,000 miles on the odometer. First broken spoke damages brake fluid hose and rear wheel rim. Second broken spoke causes immediate flat tire sending bike almost out of control at 60+ mph. I feel angry and fortunate to remain unscathed. I have no confidence in the existing spokes. First broken spoke repaired under warranty. 2nd. Spoke break out of warranty period, nothing done. Manufacturer shows no concern, but has finally redesigned the rear hub of new models, probably in response to thousands of complaints. Should be a class action lawsuit me thinks...
