Ok, since I've had my YZ, it's always shaked a little bit a higher speeds. I dunno what speeds, but its stock gearing and a YZ 250 at 1/2 throttle in 3rd gear and up so you might know more than me. Since I"m new to the motorcycle thing, doing 20mph seems like 60 to me ;) Anyways, each rim is missing 1 spoke but otherwise doesn't look bent or anything and the guy I bought it from had recently gotten a new wheel and tire on the rear and had it trued. I jacked it up and they were both wiggling a little side to side, but it was so little that it was really hard to tell. I definately couldn't see the wiggle, just kinda hear it (like a click when it went from side to side) and I could feel it.
My question: Is missing a single spoke really bad? Would it cause my problem or are my wheel bearings shot? I didn't know if ANY play (even the tiniest amount) would be noticeable or what.
