    That is really expensive! About 2 years ago I had a wheel respoked on my CR80. Husband was going to do it so we brought the spokes $160. He run outta time so took into the shop and they charged $80 labour.

    I heated up every spoke nut on my kdx 250 and got them all going-cleaned every spoke thread and ran an M3 tap through the nuts and then re spoked it- It still runs true today after about 110 hours riding. I was paying $9-50 per spoke for them- I had to replace 3 of them. $350 seems a bit high for a smaller wheel. If I can be of any help-pm me mate.
    Whether you think you can or cant - you will always be right.

    Its an easy job as long as you remove 2 spokes at a time in pairs and tighten them as you go. I ended up cutting a few out.

    Thumbs up

    Thanks for your offers Hamish at MR has found us some factory yamaha spokes for $87 and is going to fit them maybe 1 to 1half hr so around $200 all up is a bit better
