Broken Spoke on my dirt bike

Question

I broke a spoke on the front tire of my dirtbike i have a klx 125L and i was wondering if i could still ride the bike or if it would mess it up...can i still jump?

Answer 1

No, you will be putting more strain on the other spokes – they will soon give up the struggle and snap too, the rim will start to go out of shape and, although that can be repaired, it will be costly compared to removing the wheel, taking off the tyre and tube and replacing the spoke, tighten it and check the others are tight enough – if you hit each spoke with a spanner it will make a musical note if correctly tightened.

Answer 2

NO!!! That wheel is weakened now. It is potentially dangerous! Get it fixed or risk severe injury!  

Answer 3

yep you can but it's wise to get a new spoke in before doing to many big tripples and table tops if thats your thing ;)
