If all your other spokes "sounded" good, maybe, but you already broke one, and lots of the others are already loose. Take the rear wheel off and bring it to him, or someone else.

i tightened some of them, without a torque wrench, just used the regular screw key number 6....till the sound was good....
so I tightened them anti-clockwise....looking down to the outer rim.....but some are loose, and you can move them with hand.....
this is the first thing mechanic should inspect and he did not....he did inspect the spokes and tightened them when I bought the bike....so that was 3 years ago, and after that nada...nothing....and I thought well they must have stayed in good shape.....
also manual says that you can always true the laced wheel with spoke tightening and you cant true the cast wheel, so I am sticking with laced one...
i dont have the lift to take the wheel off....so it sucks
one spoke could not get tightened at all...so I wonde what is with that one...

You'll be chasing around loose and broken spokes forever or until you end up like this.



I replaced it with a mag.

so I went to service to the same guy today and he siad before I come there come come no problem, spokes brake all the time....
then when I came there he said the hub is broken, he replaced all the spokes and he tried to center the wheel for like 3 hours or so....
I checked it too on center stand and it wobbled....and he said it is ok....little wobble is ok.....
now he said I need to buy cast rim, and just leave the front spoked.....
It will look ugly...
also I tried to buy cast rims for both wheels and they told me in german shop that I would need to cut the fender etc...major modifications etc......
I am ****ing pissed....plus a guy in the shop damaged the edge of the rim when he replaced the tire....so the guy said that is normal....and I said NO THAT IS NOT NORMAL...HE JUST DID NOT GIVE A F......
so I am freaking pissed now....

He said first come to shop, I fixed many broken spokes....and now he said wheel is not good, the center hub is not good and he could not center the wheel.....and his helper damaged the edge of my rims.....the helper did not say anything, not even sorry.....
I am ****ing done with Harley......there is no shop for Harley close by now that I feel comfortable driving bike there...seems like every time that helper will **** something on my bike....few days ago he dropped the primary cover and it has a crack now in the middle and today the rim....

Prefer a cast wheel. Can't plug a spoked, tubed wheel if you pick up a nail on the road. And, no messing with spoke tightening/truing. Or the disaster referred to immediately above.
