This is what harbor freight has to offer: http://www.harborfreight.com/motorcy...and-98488.html
I assume I would need that and a dial gauge or two, but I'm not sure how I would connect them and where to buy the correct ones. I could also just drill a hole in the frame and jb weld a nut in place, then thread a bolt through it and use it as a reference point to see how much the wheel is off. Wheel truing is the only aspect of motorcycles and bicycles I have not tackled yet, but there's a first time for everything, and I guess that time is now. |

I own a Park Tool Truing Stand, and I highly recommend it. This truing stand is far superior to the Tusk Truing Stand, or anything you can purchase at Harbor Freight. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p...truing%20stand

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Spud. The reason I was going to order a complete set of spokes was because my friend said since I've been riding the bike like this for who knows how long, the remaining spokes could be damaged or weakened since there is so much play in the rear wheel. I will order a few spokes like you suggested and the stand you linked. I take it you just put the axle through the wheel then lay it in the V notches in the top of the stand? Also, I don't have a spoke wrench yet. What size does the rear spokes need?

You can certainly order a complete set of new spokes, just make sure the spokes are designed for your QLink motorcycle. If you get a complete set of spokes, you will have the extra spokes handy in case you need them. However, I still suggest you start by replacing only the broken spoke. If the other spokes were indeed weakened, they will begin to break, and you can replace them later. If the spokes were not weakened, you will have avoided a lot of extra work.
Indeed, you mount the wheel on top of the truing stand with the axle from your motorcycle. I don't know the size of your spoke nipples, since different wheels have spoke nipples with different sizes. For that reason I suggest you purchase the Tusk Spoke Wrench Set, which comes with a variety of different size tips. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p...spoke%20wrench I own this spoke wrench set, and I like it a lot. Changing the different tips allows me to select the correct size for the two wheels on each of my four different motorcycles.

You have been an excellent help as always, I appreciate all the time you are taking to help me on this endeavor. Because I got sidetracked with this new issue, I never got to find the cause of my clutch problem. I am going to open the side up and see what's going on, then order everything I need to make my bike whole again and I will be sure to post pictures of what I find.

X2 on the Tusk spoke wrench. I have that one, and it works very well.
I also have the Tusk truing stand, and it just meets my needs. My guess is that the Park stand is sturdier.

I am definitely going to get that spoke wrench, it is something that every rider should have in their tool arsenal. The thing I notice between the two truing stands is that the Tusk has an included bar and bearings that the wheel will turn on, where the park stand makes use of the wheel's native axle and bearings.
I am not sure if this is correct or not, but I have been told by a few people now that the truing stands that make use of the wheel's axle and bearings (like the park stand) are actually the correct thing to use to true a wheel, where the other one is mostly for balancing. Is there any validity in this statement, or should I disregard what those people have told me |

I can't answer that question. However, I think the Park Truing Stand has a superior design which makes it easier to true wheels.

I'm sure you can find XF200 spokes for sale at Taobao, using the search term 'QM200GY-B.' http://s.taobao.com/search?q=qm200gy...03581.d4908513

Humanbeing beat me to it, thank you for posting those links. I have the drum brake model and the spoke that is broken is on the side with the drum so I guess I just need some of these http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=23274096170 and I'll be set? I wish I could find the part in the US, but if I order a bunch it should be worth it. Last edited by The Thinker; 04-14-2015 at 10:48 PM. |

As usual, Humanbeing provided you with excellent links. Thank you, Humanbeing.
Each of those spokes costs about $0.16, so order a bunch of them. You can learn how to order from Taobao by reading the following thread. http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...d=1#post180721 While you are waiting for the spokes to arrive, I suggest you purchase a truing stand, and tighten all of the existing spokes. You can safely ride with only one missing spoke, just as long as the rest of the spokes are tight, and the wheel is true.
