Good point Sir! Are broken spokes common on this bike? I assumed that they just got loose and you ended up losing the nipple then the spoke. I'm hoping my relentless checking every spoke after each and every ride will prevent this. I'm actually getting sick of finding loose spokes almost every ride. After over 3000 miles you would think they would be bedded in.The nipple doesn't matter, the main reason for the zip ties is to keep the broken spoke from beating the hell out of the swingarm before you get stopped.
I knew of this issue before ever purchasing this machine. My buddy who owns this bike warned to check spokes after each ride. He has lost more than a few on his.
