All,
I'm about 10 months and 1300 miles on my M2S R750. A week or so ago I noticed the back of the bike felt a little squishy. Turns out there are 16 broken spokes on my rear tire - all snapped at the bend. I've read a few posts about broken spokes, but 16 seems like a large number. Also, 15/16 broken spokes had the butt of the spoke facing outward. On one side of the wheel/hub all 9 outward facing spokes were broken. One the other side 6 outward-butt spokes and one inward-butt spokes were broken. I was surprised to see this. Is this unusual?
Also, the company informed me that spokes are not covered under warranty - which I get for one or two. But does the large number and fact that it was almost exclusively outward facing spokes indicate a possible manufacturing defect?
Thanks,
j
