Technically both of those wheels need to be replaced. Figure about $4K for decent wheels and new tires. Also you blew the warranty, you really need to deduct at least another $2k for that. High mileage as well ...

Personally I feel bad for you and would like to help you out, but I'm not sure what I can do. I could probably fix that bike up myself and save a few bucks. I guess I could offer you $4k on it, and that's being pretty generous given the circumstances. You would do great on that offer. You can get a real nice metric bike for that kind of money.

Just let me know if you're interested in getting out from under that POS. I'll make the arrangements for an immediate pick up so you no longer have to be tormented with that lemon. I'll have it out of there immediately.

I went by a independent motorcycle shop and they said for a few hundred bucks, they'll remove the rear wheel, tighten and balance the deal.

Never had loose spoke problems in any of my bikes, though.
