Pitting on spokes

(1/6) > >>

MrKiwi:
My AT has about 1200 kms on the clock and I've owned it just over 6 weeks.

Sadly, the spokes on the gold rim wheels are pitting. They are smooth on the back side of the spokes, but rough as guts on the front leading edge.

I discussed this with the NZ Distributor on Friday, as I was holding a NZ industry motorcycle meeting in their offices. They will replace the spokes, but I'm in no rush. I don't think we get the new wheels and spokes until 2017, although Japan Honda is already making them with their new and 'improved' process.
