no wonder the wobble.

Looking for a complete KLX 650 front end w/forks, triple clamps, front brake ass'y and front wheel OR just the front wheel.

Me and a friend went riding one day. He was on a KDX and I was on my old Yamaha IT. We were setting a pretty good pace through some rocky tree trails. We stopped and took a break and I looked at his back wheel. It was missing about half it's spokes. Wobbly to say the least. I have never really touched my spokes on all the dirt bikes I have rode on so don't really know why his loosened up like they did. I do have all my spokes on the KLR tie wrapped where they cross which is supposed to help keep them in check. Criswell "Russell D. Stephan" wrote:
