As I rolled the bike out for pre ride inspection I noticed a spoke had come loose. It was attached at the rim but fell out of the hub. It damaged the rim and removed a nice chunk of metal out of my swingarm . The reason I am pissed is I check my spokes all the time. I have owned many BMW GSA's and know what to look for. I check my bike over everytime I ride. I give the bike a full check tire to tire at every oil change. Anyway I checked all the spokes, rim is straight and in perfect shape, is it safe to ride till tuesday. I have never been in this situation before, missing a spoke that is. My feeling is one spoke can not be that big a deal, but looking for info from someone that knows. Thank you for the help. PS Going to have it out with Yamaha Tuesday. ::010::
