2007 KlX250S spokes
 
Hi all, I am having trouble finding some info about my 07. I'm looking for the torque specs for the rear spoke, and some opinion.

Most bikes I've owned have had excel rims and used 48 in-lb torque. I know the rear spokes are smaller on the 07's so I used 35 in-lb. and broke a spoke.... so being that its like $250 to re-lace the rear wheel with stock spokes and nipples, do you think I need to replace all the spokes?

Really don't care to have the wheel come apart at speed.

The bike has $14,500 km on it if that matters.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info! What do you think about the other spokes?

just replace the broken one/s - carefully check those closest to it (if you've ridden the bike) ;)

Thanks again. That eases my mind. I will loosen them off and start over with the correct torque.
